Aaron Hernandez's Fiancee Asks Court To Change Her Surname
NORTH PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The fiancee of imprisoned ex-New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has petitioned a Rhode Island court to add the surname Hernandez to her name, matching their daughter's name.
The Providence Journal says Shayanna Jenkins wore a gold wedding band along with a gold-and-diamond engagement ring on her left hand.
The newspaper says Jenkins appeared Monday in North Providence Probate Court seeking to change her surname to Jenkins-Hernandez. Jenkins lives in North Providence.
A judge says the daughter's name is Avielle Jenkins-Hernandez. The judge says she needs more information before granting Jenkins' request.
Hernandez grew up in Bristol, Connecticut. He's serving a life sentence in Massachusetts for the 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd, who was dating Jenkins' sister.
A prisons spokesman tells The Associated Press there's no record Hernandez has gotten married or requested to get married.
