February 10, 2015, 1:05 pm. -- The fiancee of Aaron Hernandez has been granted immunity by the judge to testify in his ongoing murder trial. Shayanna Jenkins, the former NFL player's 25-year-old fiancee and the mother of his young daughter, would now be able to testify without implicating herself. Massachusetts Superior Court Judge Susan Garsh The fiancee of the late Aaron Hernandez is speaking out for the first time since the release of a new Netflix docuseries on the life of the football-star turned-convicted killer, including rumors about his a sit-down interview with ABC News' Amy Robach that will air Wednesday on "Good Morning America," Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez said that while Hernandez did not express to her in any way he may have been gay or bisexual, if he did, she "would not have loved him any differently."Hernandez, a former New England Patriots tight end, was found guilty of murder in April 2015 for the killing of Odin Lloyd, the 27-year-old fiance of Jenkins-Hernandez' sister, who was found shot to death in a suburb of Boston about two years earlier. After Hernandez's trial, and prior to his suicide in his prison cell in 2017, his alleged relationships with men became a topic of discussion."You can't describe someone's sexuality without them being here," Jenkins-Hernandez told ABC News. "Although I have a child with Aaron, I still can't tell you how he was feeling inside. No one can."The Netflix docuseries "Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez," which was released in January, spoke to a high school teammate and friend of Hernandez, Dennis Sansoucie, who said the two engaged in a sexual relationship while in high said that she knew of Sansoucie, but doesn't know him well and he wasn't very involved in Hernandez's adult Jenkins-Hernandez, the fiancee of the late Aaron Hernandez speaks with ABC NewsHowever, she said through tears, "You start to feel for people that may be hiding inside how they really feel. And I -- I feel awful for that."Jenkins-Hernandez, who was engaged to Hernandez at the time of his suicide and shares a daughter with him, said he was "certainly a man to me. There was no behavior that made me think differently."File photo of Aaron Hernandez during closing arguments in his trial for the murder of Odin Llyod at Fall River Superior Court, April 7, Globe via Getty ImagesShe wishes that if Hernandez had been hiding his sexuality, he would have come to her."If he did feel that way or if he felt the urge, I wish that I -- I was told," said Jenkins-Hernandez. "And I wish that he -- you know, he would've told me 'cause I wouldn't -- I would not have loved him any differently. I would have understood. It's not shameful and I don't think anybody should be ashamed of who they are inside, regardless of who they love. I think it's a beautiful thing, I just wish I was able to tell him that." The first hour of a two-part interview with Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez aired on the "Dr. Phil " show on Monday, and the second part will hair Tuesday at 3 p.m. on WBZ-TV. Here are a few of the Shayanna, right, and her younger sister Shaneah were inseparable when younger and introduced their boyfriends to each other - ultimately leading to disastrous consequencesAt the center of the sensational Aaron Hernandez trials – amidst the seemingly endless outrageous twists, turns and testimonies – there has always been one woman: Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez, his high school sweetheart, fiancĂ© and mother of his only child. Soft spoken and impeccably turned out, the pretty 27-year-old unfailingly supported the ex-NFL superstar, for reasons that confounded many following the case – and to the detriment of almost all else. She sacrificed her relationship with her younger sister, whose boyfriend was the man Hernandez killed in 2013. Shayanna took Hernandez’s last name, despite the fact they never married. She gave vague and nearly laughable testimony, as prosecutors threatened to charge her for as he faced a second murder conviction last week, she continued to support him with her presence in court, even bringing along their four-year-old daughter, Avielle. Hernandez blew the child kisses and - following the not guilty verdict - mouthed 'I love you' to following the ex-NFL star’s suicide, Shayanna has lost even that last tenuous link with the man serving a lifetime prison sentence. The implementation of an ancient and rarely-used law could leave Hernandez’s fortune to her daughter, but it’s very possible that there isn’t much left. His $40million contract extension with the Patriots was voided years ago. His millions were spent on legal fees. His $ house in the Boston suburbs is on the market, but everything is currently in limbo; Shayanna and Avielle left the mansion in 2015 and now reside in Rhode a sad end to a relationship that, initially, had the ring of local kids done good. Just as Hernandez rose to hero status only to fall spectacularly, Shayanna’s life and relationships – which once held such promise – now lie in tatters. Everything imploded in a whirlwind of violence, lies and down for video Shayanna now lives in North Providence, Rhode Island, sharing this two-bed, two-bath condo with her daughter; the home is listed in Hernandez's name in public recordsThere was no response at the town house on the Louisquisset Golf Course in North Providence, Rhode Island, where Shayanna now lives with her four-year-old rented the 32-year-old two-bed, two-bath condo overlooking the third fairway of the nine-hole course soon after her fiancĂ© was found guilty of Odin Lloyd’s murder. It is listed in Hernandez’s name in public homes on the course rent for around $1,400. Shayanna Jenkins and Aaron Hernandez had known each other since elementary school and got engaged in 2012 before she gave birth to their daughter, Avielle, now 4 years old Shayanna loyally attended court during Hernandez's 2015 and 2017 murder trials, even bringing their daughter last week before he was acquitted of double murderShe and her younger sister, Shaneah, had known the Hernandez family since elementary school in Bristol, Connecticut; their families lived around the corner from each other in the town where Hernandez’s father worked as a custodian and Shayanna and her sister were raised by their single mother. Shayanna, a talented track star herself, shared notes and flirtations with Hernandez beginning in middle school; they continued their off-and-on romance as his profile began to rise in basketball and football – and with it, his popularity with other told jurors in Hernandez’s 2015 murder trial that the couple hit a rough patch in high school.‘He was the star,’ she said. ‘There were a lot of girls trying to get his attention. We had some issues we had to work through throughout high school.’Still, they maintained contact when he was recruited by the University of Florida and she attended community college back home in Connecticut. When he returned to New England to play for the Patriots – signing for $40million - Shayanna moved in with him in Massachusetts. They shared a townhouse and then a dream $ mansion – and in 2012 found out they would become parents. Hernandez proposed in October 2012, on the same day as Shayanna’s baby shower, and they planned to marry in relationship, however, had been through more than just a rough patch in high school. Shayanna had discovered photos of other women on Hernandez’ phone; when they were living in Hermosa Beach, California, while the NFL star was recovering from an injury, she also called 911 when they got into a fight and Hernandez smashed his fist through a window. It wasn’t the only time police were called to the rented residence; neighbors had also reported noise and domestic disturbances. Despite the tumult, it was also in Hermosa Beach that the couple each got parts of the same quote tattooed on them (though Shayanna would claim in court that she could not remember the words tattooed on her own body.)Other testimony given by Shayanna in court – during both the Lloyd murder trial and Hernandez’s second trial for double murder two years later – painted a grim picture of their domestic life.‘I made a decision that if I was going to move back in with Aaron, I was going to have to kind of compromise on his behavior and that included infidelity and everything that came along with it,’ she said of the NFL star’s gave birth to Avielle on November 6, 2012 – and the NFL star swore that he would tame his wild ways after becoming a days after Avielle’s arrival, he called the birth ‘life-changing’ and referred to his daughter as ‘the best birthday gift you could have.’He told NESN: ‘Every time I come [from] the stadium, I can’t wait to go see her, and she’s a cutie. And basically I can’t wait to go back and look at my daughter.‘One thing I know is that it definitely changed my life. I’m going to look at things differently, and I may be the young and wild. But I’m not.’He added: ‘I’m engaged now, and I have a baby. So, it’s just gonna make me think of life a lot differently and doing things the right way.‘Now, another one is looking up to me. I can’t just be young and reckless Aaron no more. I’m gonna try to do the right things, become a good father and [ensure Avielle] be raised like I was raised.’Smiling, he said: ‘I honestly couldn’t ask for my life to be better at this point.’ Shaneah, left, and Shayanna, right, would often spend time together at Hernandez's mansion and would even go on double dates - though Shayanna's testimony was vague about the events surrounding the night of Odin Lloyd's murderShayanna, left, supported her fiance throughout his murder trials, causing a rift with Shaneah, right, whose boyfriend Odin Lloyd was the victim Shayanna with Hernandez's mother, Terri; his fiance said she asked Hernandez once if he killed Lloyd and he said no - but that's all that she asked him about the murder Shayanna comforted and hugged her sister following the murder of Shaneah's boyfriend, Lloyd - but soon after received texts and phone calls from Hernandez asking her to dispose of a box in their basement, which she duly didSadly for Shayanna, those words were empty promises. Aaron continued his partying lifestyle of drugs and women, maintaining a separate apartment – and the violence in which he was involved escalated. She said she found a gun in the kitchen drunk drawer just a few months after Avielle’s birth; she said she gave her fiancĂ© a ‘stern look’ because she didn’t tolerate guns and wanted it out of the she later told the court, when asked whether she ever put her foot down: ‘Honestly, he’s a grown man. I can’t tell a grown man what to do – that’s decisions that he has to make. I accepted the fact that he would grow up and mature within time.’When it came to prying into her fiance’s life, however – even if it meant asking him about some of the violent crimes he allegedly committed, such as shooting a friend in the face – she claimed she let him operate freely and rarely pressed him.‘I learned to keep my mouth shut in certain situations,’ she said. ‘I played my role – meaning I cleaned and I did everything else. There was no reason for me to ask any questions.’She also said in court evidence: ‘I pick and choose my battles. There are some things worth arguing about and some things that are not 
 I had other things to worry about.’Throughout most of her tumultuous relationship with Hernandez, however, she had one constant support: her sister, Shaneah. She helped Shaneah get a job at a Comfort Suites because she had worked there, and the women – who had once shared an apartment – often spent time together. The sisters, in fact, even made the ill-fated introduction between Hernandez and Odin Lloyd. Hernandez was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Odin Lloyd, pictured, the boyfriend of Shayanna's sister, ShaneahShaneah was dating the semi-professional football player, and the couples would sometimes go out together. The men first met in August 2012, when Hernandez got a skybox for Shaneah’s birthday for a Patriots game at Gillette Stadium. After that, Shaneah would stay with her sister and Hernandez when she went to visit Lloyd, who also lived in Massachusetts. The women would often hang out upstairs, go shopping or get their nails done while the two male athletes would retire to Hernandez’s basement ‘man cave’ and smoke marijuana. The couples would sometimes party in clubs together; it was at a club that Lloyd allegedly made the fatal mistake of talking to the wrong people and angering graduated from college in May 2013 and planned to move to Boston with Lloyd to get a law degree from the New England School of Law. But the following month, her boyfriend was dead – and within hours of the killing, police wanted to question Hernandez. Shayanna drove her fiancĂ© to the police station with their daughter in the back of the car; after dropping him off, he told her to go meet two of his acquaintances – who would also be charged in the murder – to give them money in the middle of the night. She drove to an ATM, withdrew $500, and then met Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz to hand over the cash, with her infant daughter still in the car. (Wallace was later acquitted and Ortiz pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact).Despite all of this strange and suspicious behaviour surrounding the night of the murder, however, Shayanna says she only once queried her fiancĂ© what was going on, directly asking whether he had murdered Lloyd. He said no, and that was apparently enough for it was at the mansion Shayanna shared with Hernandez that Shaneah initially sought refuge. Her first phone call, following news of his death, was to her mother; her second was to her older sister. Shaneah drove with an uncle to the NFL star’s home and was comforted by a long embrace from Shayanna – which was captured on video and later played in court. Soon, however, Shayanna received phone calls from Hernandez; he instructed her to go retrieve a box from the basement and dispose of it. He didn’t tell her what was in it, she claims, and she didn’t carefully look. Instead, she covered the box with baby clothes, put it in a bag and borrowed her sister’s car, ostensibly to get baby supplies and money to pay the cleaning testified she saw her sister carry a garbage bag to the basement; Shayanna was seen on her own home surveillance cameras carrying a box from her basement and borrowing her sister's car to take it away. Hernandez blows kisses to his daughter, Avielle, earlier this month after her mother brought her to one of his court appearances in his trial for a 2012 double murder; he mouthed 'I love you' to Shayanna after he was acquitted Shayanna put Avielle in the car and drove Hernandez to the police station for questioning about Lloyd's murder - then continued in the middle of the night with their daughter, following instructions from the NFL star, to withdraw money and give it to two of his friends Shayanna claimed she could not remember exactly where she dumped a box she retrieved for Hernandez from the basement of their $ home; prosecutors believe this box contained the murder weapon Shayanna testified that she allowed Hernandez freedom - deciding to 'pick and choose' her battles - and even tolerated his infidelity Shayanna testified in both Hernandez's 2015 and 2017 murder trials; she adopted his last name though the couple never married and was threatened with perjury charges for her vague testimony and claims not to rememberShayanna testified that she drove around for a while looking for a place to dispose of the box, eventually finding a dumpster – but she could not remember where that dumpster was. Prosecutors wanted her testimony to convince jurors that the box contained the murder weapon, which has never been – presumably agreeing with the prosecution’s version of events - sobbed during her sister’s testimony and left the court for a time. Shayanna herself brushed away tears when video footage was played for the court of her hugging Shaneah following Lloyd’s attended just one day of her sister's testimony and the sisters avoided eye after she took the stand, the prosecutor asked if she saw her sister in the courtroom. Shaneah at first said no, until Shayanna craned her neck to make sure she was seen. Hernandez had been in the the rift with her sister, however – especially in the wake of such emotional turmoil and trying times – Shayanna remained steadfast in her support of Hernandez. Even after his conviction, as his legal team prepared for a second murder trial this month in the shooting of two men -allegedly in retaliation for a drink being spilled over Hernandez - Shayanna proudly continued using his last name (the two never married.) She continued attending his court dates and testified again in Hernandez’s trial this year for the fatal shooting of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado in July testimony that, again, was remarkably vague, Shayanna admitted receiving a 17-second phone call from her fiancĂ© just minutes after the killings – but said she could not remember what was said in the conversation.‘My phone was [on] 24 hours,’ she said. ‘If he wanted to call at 4 o’clock in the morning, he could.’Despite her unwavering loyalty to the father of her child, however, there will be no more phone calls; she has yet to comment on his suicide. It remains to be seen what legal avenues Hernandez’s lawyers – or her own – will pursue, and what the future holds for the woman who stood, against all odds, by the side of a fallen hero. The suit was filed in Bristol Superior Court in Taunton by Shayanna Jenkins Hernandez on behalf of 5-year-old Avielle Hernandez. It requests a jury trial and a judgment on whether a declaration of

Aaron Hernandez had a fiancĂ©e, Shayanna Jenkins, before he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in 2015 for the murder of Odin Lloyd and his suicide in 2017. What do we know about Jenkins, 30, and does Hernandez have any other notable family members he left behind when he went to jail and killed himself? Who Was Aaron Hernandez’s FiancĂ©e? Before Hernandez was convicted of killing Lloyd, he had a seemingly happy relationship with Jenkins. She stood by Hernandez and attended the trial with his relatives — even though Lloyd was dating Jenkins’ sister, Shaneah Jenkins, Oxygen reported. “I wasn’t going to let him experience it alone,” Jenkins told the outlet. “I was going to stick by his side every step of the way.” AP/ShutterstockAfter Hernandez’s death, Jenkins appears to have gotten her own life back on track. She regularly posts on Instagram, and just shared a message on January 16 about all the support she’s received following the release of Aaron Hernandez’s Killing Fields, a three-hour investigative series on her former fiancĂ©e’s murder case. “I wanted to let all of you sweet souls know I have tried to read every message sent on Instagram and through email (positive and negative)

At the time of the trial, she was dealing with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Singleton died at her home in October 2015.

Shayanna Jenkins, the fiancee of former New England Patriots Aaron Hernandez, listens during his murder trial at the Bristol County Superior Court in Fall River, Massachusetts, February 25, 2015.
ï»żFrom Netflix’s ‘Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez’ to Investigation Discovery’s ‘Aaron Hernandez: An ID Murder Mystery,’ several shows have chronicled the tale of the late football athlete turned convicted killer over the years. As a Patriots player in the NFL for three seasons, he was on the way to greatness until his sudden arrest, trial, and conviction for the 2013 shooting murder of Odin Lloyd, followed by his suicide. With that, we can’t help but wonder more about the one person who always stood by him, his fiancĂ©e, Shayanna Jenkins. So, here’s what we know of her. Having known each other since they were little children running around in elementary school, Shayanna Jenkins and Aaron Hernandez first decided to take their bond to the next level by starting to date in high school. Yet, once it was time to head to university and pursue a profession, they broke up, only to reunite after his draft by the New England Patriots. In the year that followed, Shayanna became pregnant, and in 2012, the couple gladly welcomed their daughter and got engaged. She also began using Aaron’s last name, unaware that their wedding would never happen. Image Credit: Dr. Phil/CBS In June 2013, semi-professional footballer Odin Lloyd, Shayanna’s sister’s boyfriend, was cruelly shot to death in an industrial park, and within mere days, Aaron got linked to it. Upon his apprehension, his fiancĂ©e continued to support him, even at the cost of her apparent estrangement from her sister. Her loyalty to her new family never wavered. Thus, when Aaron was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to a life term without the possibility of parole, Shayanna legally changed her name to Jenkins-Hernandez. She wanted to have the same name as her daughter, Avielle. Image Credit: Court Documents via CBS Boston Fast-forwarding another two years, in 2017, Aaron was cleared in a separate double homicide matter, just to be supposedly outed through callous innuendos three days later. Two days after this, on April 19, 2017, he was found hanging in his jail cell. Aaron had left behind three suicide notes — one for Shayanna, one for his daughter, and one for his lawyer. In his letter to his fiancĂ©e, he said, in part, “You have always been my soulmate and I want you to love life and know I’m always with you
[I] know you are an angel
Tell my story fully but never think anything besides how much I love you.” Where is Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez Now? Following Aaron’s demise, Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez not only sued the NFL over his posthumous chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) diagnosis on their daughter’s behalf but also sold his North Attleboro, Massachusetts, home for $1 million, as was her legal right. She subsequently relocated to Rhode Island, and in 2019, a judge ruled that they can’t pursue the $20 million degenerative brain disease lawsuit due to a missed 2014 deadline. As for Aaron’s alleged bisexuality, Shayanna has stated that it wouldn’t have and still hasn’t changed how she feels about him. “If he did feel that way or if he felt the urge, I wish that I — I was told. And I wish that he — you know, he would’ve told me ’cause I wouldn’t — I would not have loved him any differently. I would have understood,” she said. “It’s not shameful and I don’t think anybody should be ashamed of who they are inside, regardless of who they love. I think it’s a beautiful thing, I just wish I was able to tell him that.” Therefore, Shayanna continues to raise Avielle to the best of her abilities and keeps the memories of Aaron alive in her heart. Since then, she has also found love again in Dino Guilmette, a former college footballer, boxer, and bar owner, with whom she welcomed another daughter, Giselle, in 2018. The four of them are a happy family from the looks of Shayanna’s social media profiles, and she could be planning her wedding. It’s evident that her priority right now is her daughters, and it’ll stay that way for a long while. One of her recent Instagram post captions even read, “Low key Sunday for us, just the way we like it 😉😜 #mommin” Read More: Details of Aaron Hernandez’s Death and CTE

In 2017, after Hernandez was acquitted for a second murder case, the 2012 shooting of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado, he hung himself in his jail cell. Rumors circulated during the time of his suicide that Hernandez was engaged in various homosexual relationships—one with a high school classmate, and then later with another inmate. Hernandez’s sexuality became a particular focus of the Netflix documentary in which Jenkins appears. Jenkins was also asked to testify during the Hernandez trial. Boston Globe What happened during the Hernandez trial?Part of the Lloyd case involved a conversation that took place between Hernandez and Jenkins the days following the shooting. Hernandez had made a phone call to Jenkins from his attorney’s office, asking that she remove items from their house. Prosecutors believed the items, contained in a box, included the .45 caliber handgun connected to the murder of Lloyd. (The handgun was never found.) Jenkins was indicted after prosecutors claimed she lied 29 times to a grand jury about the phone call. She was then called to testify and spent close to 10 hours on the stand.
