Shayanna Jenkins 2015 - The love of Aaron Hernandez's fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins, was very evident Wednesday when the verdict on the former New England Patriots star's murder trial was read in a Massachusetts court.
According to International Business Times, Jenkins was in tears when she heard that her lover was found guilty of killing semiprofessional football player Odin Lloyd way back in June 2013.
Shayanna Jenkins was also spotted mouthing "Be strong. Be strong," to Hernandez while the reading of the verdict was ongoing.
Jenkins wasn't the only one crying in court, Hernandez's mother, Terri, was also sobbing when it was announced that the jury found him guilty of first-degree murder, WHDH has learned.
Terri even held Shayanna close to her when they heard the jury's verdict.
The jury reportedly deliberated for more than 35 hours before they reached their decision at 10 a.m. Wednesday.
In light of the court's decision, Hernandez is now bound to spend the rest of his life behind bars, according to CBS Local.
Meanwhile, Jenkins, who had asked the media to respect her privacy, is actually the sister of Shaneah, who had dated Hernandez's victim.
Daily Mail reports Shayanna and Shaneah sat in opposing sides of the courtroom as they are divided on their stand in the murder case.
"I made a decision that if I was going to move back in with Aaron that I would have to compromise on his behavior," Shayanna was quoted saying when she testified in court.
"That included infidelity and everything that came along with it," she added. "I decided that it was worth fighting for."
In her testimony, Jenkins even admitted that she had thrown away a box for Hernandez on the day that Lloyd was killed, TMZ has learned.
