Sean McVay's alleged affair with both Dianna Russini and Britt McHenry at the same time is in focus amid the Mike Vrabel row.
Dianna Russini keeps being linked to men in the soccer field. Since the Mike Vrabel affair rumours surfaced, she's lost credibility, and now any slight friendly behaviour with an NFL coach or player results in a dating rumour. It started after Page Six released exclusive PDA-filled pics of her and the New England Patriots head coach, taken at an Arizona resort. The images sparked buzz about the duo's affair and brought them significant backlash. Recently, the hate train against Dianna intensified after her past link-up with another man, Sean McVay, resurfaced.
In 2015, rumours circulated regarding Diana Russini and Sean McVay being romantically involved. At that time, she was covering the Washington Redskins, and he was an assistant coach for the team, which led to interviews and occasional informal interactions between the duo. Some unverified social media users alleged that Dianna had received special privileges in the form of exclusive information from Sean, in lieu of being involved in an illicit affair with him.
Britt McHenry was Dianna Russini's colleague, who was also covering the Washington Redskins alongwith her at that time. In 2014, a speculation surfaced regarding Dianna and Britt feuding over Sean. According to reports, Sean was sleeping around with both of them, and they didn't know about it. When they finally became aware of the situation, the two women reportedly lashed out at each other and got into a "drunken fistfight" outside a restaurant at the then-Redskins training camp. The rumour is over a decade old and had long died down, but it recently resurfaced amid Dianna's affair buzz with Mike Vrabel.
An X (formerly Twitter) user shared that the Dianna vs Britt rumour was their favourite Sean McVay story. They wrote, "My favorite Sean McVay story is that one time two reporters got into a drunken fistfight outside a chain restaurant at then-Redskins training camp because McVay was hooking up with both of them and neither knew it." Another commented on the post, sarcastically calling Dianna "An all-time", which most probably means alleging her of having multiple partners at the same time. Notably, neither of the people involved in the issue shared any official statement regarding the speculations. The rumours first surfaced amid Dianna's link-up with Scot McCloughan.
Jessica McCloughan, the wife of former Washington Commanders general manager, Scot McCloughan, publicly accused the then-ESPN reporter, Dianna Russini of having an affair with him and exchanging sexual favours for team information in a series of now-deleted tweets. She accused Dianna of sleeping with Scot to secure "scoops" for her NFL stories. Jessica particularly hinted at the types of articles that included exclusive information, such as Kirk Cousins replacing Robert Griffin III as the starting quarterback.
However, Jessica McCloughan later admitted she misunderstood Dianna and Scot's relationship and apologised for defaming her. She mentioned that the affair accusations were "unfounded and inappropriate" and regretted that her comments had brought "undeserved negative attention" to Dianna and Redskins. She also apologised to the team and its fanbase, and later deleted her Twitter account. Jessica's statements resurfaced amid Dianna's affair buzz with Mike Vrabel.
Rumours of Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel's affair began after Page Six published exclusive photos of them on April 7, 2026. The images, reportedly taken during the weekend of March 28, 2026, show the pair holding hands and hugging on a private rooftop bungalow, and lounging in a hot tub. Both of them denied the allegations; however, public scrutiny surrounding them has intensified after more pics (including one where they are kissing) from their alleged past dates were released by TMZ and the NY Times.
