Mike Vrabel and his wife, Jen Vrabel, are on their way to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding at New York City’s Madison Square Garden — three months after his viral Dianna Russini scandal.
Page Six spotted the Vrabels exiting the Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad hotel Friday afternoon and getting into the same arena-bound SUV.
The New England Patriots head coach was wearing a classic black suit, while his spouse of nearly three decades looked elegant in a baby blue gown.
Earlier in the day, we obtained exclusive photos of the pair entering the Langham hotel on Fifth Avenue.
Mike — who likely knows the couple by way of the football player groom — made headlines in April after we published pictures showing him and then-NFL reporter Russini — who is also married — hugging and holding hands at a resort in Arizona.
Though the duo vehemently denied having any kind of romantic relationship, Page Six later obtained images of them kissing at a bar in NYC in March 2020.
The reporter ended up resigning from her job at the Athletic and said the scandal had a “significant impact” on her life, “both professionally and personally.”

By
Jolie Zenna
Former New York Police Department Chief Kenneth Corey claimed that there has been “no wedding near [the] scale” of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s.
“There is nothing comparable to her level of stardom and her fan base — you’re on the level of Elvis [Presley], Michael Jackson or the Beatles in their heyday,” Corey told The New York Times of the nuptials.
“I was at the NYPD for almost 35 years, and there was no wedding near this scale.”
He added that hundreds of police officers would likely be necessary to keep fans safe in the area.
Corey also noted the wedding is taking place at a time with an already elevated security risk due to the Fourth of July holiday.
Page Six previously reported that the couple spent a six-figure sum on police presence at the iconic venue.
Sources familiar with the situation told us that a little over 130 cops, some working on overtime, will be present as part of the couple’s special access events permit.
Additionally, more than 70 detectives from New York City precincts are expected to work the high-profile nuptials, per to TMZ.
The outlet claimed on Tuesday that the cops will be doing 8.5-hour shifts at $80 to $90 an hour at Thursday’s intimate rehearsal dinner and Friday’s star-studded ceremony.
