Shayanna Jenkins Honors Late NFL Star Aaron Hernandez with Tribute Featuring Daughter

Shayanna Jenkins, the fiancée of late NFL star Aaron Hernandez, honored his memory with a heartfelt Instagram tribute featuring their daughter, Avielle. The post, shared on March 22, shows Avielle in a white dress at church, with a smiling image of Hernandez photoshopped into the corner. Jenkins captioned the photo, 'Celebrated our love for you privately, never forgotten always embraced,' reflecting on their shared past and her ongoing memories of him. Hernandez, who played for the New England Patriots, died by suicide in 2017 while serving a life sentence for the murder of Odin Lloyd.

This latest tribute comes nearly eight years after his death, underscoring the lasting impact of his legacy on their family.
