The late National Football League (NFL) star Aaron Hernandez, who was jailed for 27-year-old Odin Lloyd's murder and who took his own life while serving a prison sentence for the murder, reportedly hid a longtime sexual relationship with his high school quaterback and was also physically and sexually abused when he was young, according to Boston Globe.

Hernandez's lover, Dennis SanSoucie, while talking to the Boston Globe, said that he and Hernandez were seen as an unstoppable duo on the field at Briston Central School, however, many did not know that they also shared an on-again, off-again romance at the time too. The Globe’s Spotlight team published the first installment of a six-part investigation into Hernandez’s life on Saturday.
