Contains spoilers for 'American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The sixth episode of FX's 'American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez' explores Aaron Hernandez's (Josh Andrés Rivera) escalating paranoia and unrest as his fall from grace looms closer. Created by Stu Zicherman, this sports drama dives into the rise and fall of NFL great Aaron. While the earlier episodes delved into Aaron's troubled family background, the latter ones focus on his battles with substance abuse and his sexuality.

Did Aaron Hernandez really visit Cabu with Chris Taylor?
It’s important to note that Chris is a completely fictional character in 'American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez,' which means Aaron never went to Cabu on a romantic getaway. In other words, the show's portrayal of Aaron and Chris's affair is based on hearsay, speculation, or sheer fiction, for the sole purpose of establishing Aaron's romantic involvement with another guy.
Furthermore, there’s no evidence to suggest that Aaron had any romantic involvement with a male athlete during his NFL career. Chris serves as a fictional construct to deepen our understanding of Aaron's connections with men. His character also acts as a catalyst for Aaron’s decline; when Chris breaks up with him, Aaron becomes increasingly restless and frustrated, ultimately leading to his downfall.
Who were Aaron Hernandez's male lovers?
Two men claim to have had a romantic relationship with Aaron. Dennis SanSoucie, who appeared in Netflix's docu-series 'Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez,' claimed to have been in an on-and-off relationship with Aaron from 7th grade until junior year, according to Oxygen. SanSoucie characterized their relationship as tight, comparing it to meeting a twin, and shared cherished recollections of their connection.
The other one being, Kyle Kennedy, a former inmate who claims to have been Aaron's boyfriend in jail, spoke up in a REELZ channel special titled 'Aaron Hernandez: Jailhouse boyfriend Tells All,' as per People. Kennedy, who reportedly shared a cell with Aaron, characterizes the late NFL player as the most loyal person he had encountered.
