The rumored affair between Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini just got a million times messier!
If you’ve been keeping up with the scandal taking over the NFL universe, you know the pair have been accused of cheating on their spouses with each other after several photos emerged this month of their eyebrow-raising interactions over the years. They held hands, hugged, and enjoyed cozy hangouts in several pictures. But one shot in particular is causing a frenzy online this week: Mike and Dianna seemingly kissing at a New York City bar six years ago! Whoa!

It seems the alleged relationship has been going on for a while! What’s more? People are now starting to think they are not only lovers but have had a child together! You’re reading that right! Amid the scandal, a since-deleted tweet of Dianna’s resurfaced. In 2021, a year after the alleged kiss, she wrote about her then-4-year-old son, who is also named Michael… just like Michael Vrabel:
“Keep looking at my almost 4 day old son Michael while trying to figure out who are the best Michaels to ever play and coach in the NFL?.”
Whoa…
Did she really name her kid with her husband, Kevin Goldschmidt, after her alleged lover? Or, in a shocking twist, is Mike the actual dad? People can’t help but question if it’s the latter in light of the scandal! They took to X (Twitter) to say:
“Wait huh?? So Dianna has a son named Michael and is referring to Mike Vrabel in this tweet. This is just insane.”
“Wait. Her son name Michael…….mike vrabel……oh this s**t messy”
“I mean at this point is Mike Vrabel potentially the father of this child?!”
“Her first born is named Michael and she had him in 2021. The alleged bar photo with Vrabel was 6 years ago [shrug emoji]”
“Is it time to start asking the question? Could this be Mike Vrabel’s child?”
“If I was Dianna Russini husband, I would have to get a DNA test cause that might be Mike Vrabel child..”
“If there is any possibility that Diana Russini had a child with Mike Vrabel and then named it after him while married to another person the NFL is something else. Her husband should legitimately be owed money from the government and and NFL for life”
Don’t forget about Jen Vrabel! We wouldn’t blame her if she divorced him tomorrow if he allegedly cheated AND had a secret love child! And this isn’t just some fringe internet theory in the corners of the web. Even Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has chime in, tweeting:
“I can’t believe that I think there is a chance Russini fathered Vrabel’s child. That is how nuts this has gotten. You just can’t name your kid the same name as the guy you are having an affair with. We have entered bananland with this story and nothing is off the table.”
