LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The enigmatic life of Aaron Hernandez is a captivating subject that continues to fascinate viewers and will once again be explored in FX's upcoming limited series, 'American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez'. The 10-episode series is scheduled to premiere on Saturday, September 17th.
Hernandez, who was renowned for his aggressive conduct, was a promising figure in the NFL, however, his professional trajectory took a sharp decline when he was apprehended and accused of the murder of Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player, in 2013. As a result, he was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. Although Hernandez tragically died by killing himself in jail on April 19, 2017, his girlfriend Shayanna Jenkins remains steadfast in her support, reaffirming the deep connection she had with the former athlete.
Who is Shayanna Jenkins?
Shayanna Jenkins, Hernandez's fiancée, was also charged with submitting false testimony to a grand jury in 2013 to assist Hernandez, although her comments contradicted evidence provided by Hernandez's house cleaning firm. Eventually, the allegations against her were dismissed.
Reportedly, Hernandez and Shayanna, who had known one another since elementary school in Connecticut, resumed their connection as Hernandez climbed to NFL notoriety with a $40 million deal from the New England Patriots. The couple were ecstatic to find out they were having a child in 2012 and got engaged before their daughter, Avielle, was born. Their wedding was supposed to take place in 2014, but it never happened owing to Odin Llyod's murder.
Llyod, who was a semi-professional football player, was dating Jenkins's sister, Shaneah Jenkins at the time of his murder. Following the terrible tragedy, Shayanna not only faced public scrutiny, but she also had to stand up against her own sister, who was seen supporting Llyod's family.

Jenkins and Guilmette welcomed the birth of their daughter on June 15, a year after Hernandez committed suicide. As time passes, Shayanna continues to speak up for Hernandez, describing him as a compassionate person.
