‘Aaron Hernandez: Jailhouse Lover Tells All’ Special: What to Expect
Radar Online - Radar Staff
Prepare for your burning questions about Aaron Hernandez’s relationship with Kyle Kennedy to be answered. The late NFL star’s secret prison lover is breaking his silence on REELZ’s Aaron Hernandez: Jailhouse Lover Tells All on Sunday, July 5. “It was definitely [a relationship],” Kennedy says in a sneak peek for the special. “I mean, the things we talked about, it wouldn’t even be believable. He used to tell me he wanted to marry me. Anything I ever wanted in life, he would make sure it came true.” Hernandez and Kennedy met while they were both serving time at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Massachusetts. The former football player, for his part, was set to serve a life sentence for the murder of Odin Lloyd before Hernandez died by suicide in his prison cell in April 2017. He was 27. “We would lock in to either cook food or smoke, get high, listen to music, just chill when we didn’t want to be around other people, I had never done anything like this before,” Kennedy claims of Hernandez in the REELZ special. “We used to write letters back and forth to each other all day. … [We had sex] once or twice a week, whenever there was a good opportunity.” According to Kennedy, the two men not only had an intimate sexual relationship, but the New England Patriots tight end would confide in his fellow inmate about his cases. (While Hernandez was on trial for Lloyd’s death, he was indicted on murder charges for the deaths of Daniel Jorge Correia de Abreu and Safiro Teixeira Furtado. He was acquitted of both charges four days before his death.) “You know, you’d never be able to tell by looking at him but he was obviously worried,” Kennedy reveals in the doc. “He was concerned [about] what the outcome was because his lawyers would tell him, ‘If you beat these two cases, we’re gonna flip your other case, you’re gonna go home.’ You know, so that’s what was set in his head. He kept telling me, you know, ‘If we can speak this into existence, we could make this happen.’ So he had himself convinced he was going to beat those two murders.” Aaron Hernandez: Jailhouse Lover Tells All airs on REELZ Sunday, July 5, at 8 p.m. ET.

Aaron Hernandez’s Jailhouse Lover Claims NFL Star Thought Double Murder Was ‘Funny’
Radar Online - Radar Staff
Late Aaron Hernandez‘s former jailhouse lover, Kyle Kennedy, claims the disgraced former NFL star “thought it was funny” that he allegedly committed the double murder of Daniel Jorge Correia de Abreu and Safiro Teixeira Furtado. “He did tell me he did that,” Kennedy says in a sneak peek of the new REELZ special, Aaron Hernandez: Jailhouse Lover Tells All, airing July 5. In the special, Kennedy claims Hernandez was guilty of the murders, both of which he was previously acquitted. The alleged incident took place on July 16, 2012. Hernandez and one of his friends were at the Cure Lounge in Boston at the time. An alleged altercation took place inside the club between Hernandez and one of the men he allegedly murdered. De Abreu and Furtado left the club but didn’t realize they were being followed. The alleged drive-by shooting occurred when their car was stopped at a red light. Kennedy also shared details he claims Hernandez told him about that night. “There was an argument, you know, he felt disrespected by him, so they waited down the street in a parking garage for like, three or four hours. He knew what kind of car they were in,” he says. “He already told me he’d seen ‘em go by, pulled up next to them. He only meant to kill the one kid in the passenger seat. He said he shot him in his head.” Hernandez and Kennedy met while they were both incarcerated at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Massachusetts. Kennedy claims they had an intimate sexual relationship while behind bars and says Hernandez would often confide in him about his cases. “You know, you’d never be able to tell by looking at him but he was obviously worried,” Kennedy reveals. “He was concerned [about] what the outcome was because his lawyers would tell him, ‘If you beat these two cases, we’re gonna flip your other case, you’re gonna go home.’ You know, so that’s what was set in his head. He kept telling me, you know, ‘If we can speak this into existence, we could make this happen.’ So he had himself convinced he was going to beat those two murders.” Hernandez was found dead in his jail cell on April 19, 2017, while serving out a life sentence after being found guilty of first-degree murder for the 2013 shooting death of a friend, Odin Lloyd. While he was on trial for Lloyd’s death, Hernandez was indicted on murder charges for the deaths of de Abreu and Furtado in 2014. He stood trial for his double murder charges in 2017, two years after he began his life sentence. Hernandez was acquitted of …

Aaron Hernandez’s Jailhouse Lover Claims He Was Guilty of Double Murder
Radar Online - Radar Staff
Spilling secrets. Aaron Hernandez‘s jailhouse lover, Kyle Kennedy, was the last person to see the disgraced NFL star alive before he died by suicide in April 2017. Kennedy now claims Hernandez confessed he was guilty in the double murder case he was acquitted of just days before his death. “He told me he did,” Kennedy says during the new REELZ special, Aaron Hernandez: Jailhouse Lover Tells All, airing July 5, when asked if Hernandez committed the crimes. Hernandez was accused of allegedly killing Daniel Jorge Correia de Abreu and Safiro Teixeira Furtado in a drive-by shooting near the Cure Lounge in Boston in July 2012. Kennedy, who had an intimate relationship with Hernandez while they were both serving time in prison, says Hernandez would often open up to him about the case. “Every day he had to go to court for that. He’d wake up at 4 in the morning, he wouldn’t come back till 5, 6 at night. And he’d be in court all day, he’d come back all stressed out,” Kennedy explains. “I’d have food waiting, he hadn’t eaten all day. He kept telling me he couldn’t sleep at night, I kept asking him what was wrong. He was so worried about not beating that case.” “He used to tell me like, ‘The kid that testified against me? He was in the passenger seat, he watched me do it. He’s telling them he seen [sic] me do it. How am I gonna beat this?'” Kennedy continues. “And I used to say the same thing to him every day: ‘Have faith.'” When asked if Hernandez lied during his trial in order to beat the charges, Kennedy responds, “Of course he did. Yeah.” The former New England Patriots tight end met Kennedy while they were both incarcerated at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Massachusetts. Hernandez was serving out a life sentence after being found guilty of first-degree murder for the 2013 shooting death of a friend, Odin Lloyd, which he started in 2015. In 2014, while on trial for Lloyd’s death, Hernandez was indicted on murder charges for the deaths of de Abreu and Furtado. The trial for the double murder began in March 2017, one month before Hernandez’s death. Hernandez was acquitted of two murder charges on April 14, 2017, and was found dead in his jail cell on April 19. Aaron Hernandez: Jailhouse Lover Tells All premieres on REELZ Sunday, July 5, at 8 p.m. ET.

Aaron Hernandez’s Jailhouse Lover, Kyle Kennedy, Details Secret Romance in REELZ Tell-All
Radar Online - Radar Staff
His side of the story. Kyle Kennedy, the last person to see Aaron Hernandez alive, opened up about his intimate relationship with late NFL player on TV for the very first time — and revealed their connection was more than just physical. “It was definitely [a relationship],” Kennedy said during the new REELZ special, Aaron Hernandez: Jailhouse Lover Tells All, airing July 5. “I mean, the things we talked about, it wouldn’t even be believable. He used to tell me he wanted to marry me. Anything I ever wanted in life, he would make sure it came true.” Before dying by suicide in April 2017, Hernandez turned to Kennedy for support while in prison for the murder of his friend Odin Lloyd. The former New England Patriots player was set to serve a life sentence, but took his own life in his prison cell before his sentence was complete. “We would lock in to either cook food or smoke, get high, listen to music, just chill when we didn’t want to be around other people, I had never done anything like this before,” Kennedy said of his former lover. “We used to write letters back and forth to each other all day.” The pair’s relationship quickly became sexual, with Kennedy claiming that they would be physical with one another “once or twice a week.” During their time together in jail, he noticed Hernandez growing more and more “paranoid” about his future. “He was more worried about if he was going to go home or not,” Kennedy explained. “He did whatever he had to do or if he ever felt disrespected or someone ever disrespected his people or someone he cared for, he would act on it.” Hernandez was arrested in June 2013, less than one year after welcoming daughter Avielle with his fiancée, Shayanna Jenkins. According to TMZ, the late athlete left a note for Jenkins before his death. “You have always been my soulmate and I want you to love life and know I’m always with you. I love you so much and know you are an angel,” Hernandez reportedly wrote in 2017. Aaron Hernandez: Jailhouse Lover Tells All premieres on REELZ Sunday, July 5, at 8 p.m. ET.
