Dianna Russini makes a rare appearance following her scandal.
Dianna Russini’s first real vacation since her name became a tabloid fixture didn’t come with sunglasses and scarves. It came with a green swimsuit, a splash pad, and a very public kiss blown across a cruise ship pool.
Page Six obtained exclusive photos and video of Russini poolside on Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas on July 4, vacationing alongside husband Kevin Goldschmidt and their two sons. The scene marked one of the more relaxed public appearances she has made since her name became tied to New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel earlier this year.
Dianna Russini Looks All In on Family Time
An eyewitness told Page Six the couple “seemed to be engaged with one another” and “were very family oriented with their kids,” taking the boys to the splash pad together and laughing by the water. At one point, Russini blew Goldschmidt a kiss from across the pool, the spy said.
Video from the trip shows Russini, dressed in a green one-piece, and Goldschmidt walking the pool deck with their sons in tow, joined by additional family members for the getaway. She kept the good vibes going by dancing to Katy Perry’s “Firework” while holding one of her boys, a scene that reads a lot lighter than the tense, camera-dodging photos that have defined her year.

The trip wasn’t cheap or short. The seven-day cruise left New Jersey on June 28 and returned July 5, with tickets starting at $1,475 a person and stops in Port Canaveral, Florida, Nassau, Bahamas, and the private island of CocoCay, where guests can zip-line, swim with pigs and dolphins, or ride a hot air balloon. It’s the kind of trip that looks a lot like a reset button for a couple who spent the spring under a microscope.
Dianna Russini’s First Sighting in Months
This marked Russini’s first public sighting in nearly two months, and only her second since Page Six first published photos of her holding hands and hugging Patriots coach Mike Vrabel at a Sedona resort back on March 28. That scandal cost Russini her job at The Athletic within weeks. The only other sighting since came on Mother’s Day, when she and Goldschmidt kissed outside their New Jersey home, a moment that read as a deliberate show of unity after months of speculation.
Vrabel, meanwhile, spent the same holiday weekend in New York, attending Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Madison Square Garden wedding with his wife, Jennifer, a sign that both parties are trying to move forward publicly with their own spouses. The Patriots coach reportedly stepped away from the team briefly for counseling amid the fallout and has since made a handful of public appearances alongside Jennifer.
Whether the cruise marks a real turning point for Russini and Goldschmidt remains to be seen. For now, she looks like she’s rebuilding a life far from the scandal that defined her spring, one pool day and Katy Perry singalong at a time.
