Aaron Hernandez’s fiancée spoke publicly for the first time since a documentary floated the theory that Hernandez committed murder to conceal his undercover bisexual lifestyle.
In an interview with Good Morning America that aired on Wednesday morning, Shayanna Jenkins said she was not aware that Hernandez was bisexual. She said she “would not have loved him differently” if he had opened up to her about his desire for men.
“Although I have a child with Aaron, I still can’t tell you how he was feeling inside,” she said. “No one can.”
The former New England Patriots wide receiver was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in 2015 for the murder of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd, 27, in 2013.
The three-part Netflix series “Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez,” aired in the U.S. on Jan. 15. The documentary theorized that Hernandez killed his friend because he feared Lloyd was gossiping about his bisexuality.
Hernandez killed himself in his Massachusetts prison cell in 2017.
