The NFL star took his life while in prison, and now his ex-fiancée is accused of misappropriating funds meant for their daughter.

Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez, who was engaged to late NFL star Aaron Hernandez, is now being questioned over her spending of his trust fund. The former couple shares a daughter, 10-year-old Avielle.

The former New England Patriots player took his own life in April 2017 while in prison. He was arrested and charged with the murder of his former friend Odin Lloyd. Additionally, he was also accused of participating in a fatal drive-by shooting.

According to People, Jenkins-Hernandez's lawyers “submitted an invoice for reimbursement from the trust fund to a court-appointed trustee.”

Attorney David Schwartz later denied her request. Jenkins-Hernandez also attempted to remove him as the trusted, saying he was “ keeping Avielle from her hobby.”

Outlined in documents, Jenkins-Hernandez’s spending was then brought into question.

Schwartz’s lawyers reportedly claimed, “There is every reason to question whether and how the Conservator is applying the significant resources that should be available to pay for Avielle's daily needs, including dance lessons, especially since all of her basic housing security and educational expenses are paid from the Trust.”

The mother previously requested $10,000 for Avielle’s dance lessons.

“Large amounts of money are spent under each category of the Accountings, with little clear identification of how these disbursements benefit Avielle,” docs reportedly revealed.

People also shared that docs exhibit specific examples of Jenkins-Hernandez’s spending. It reportedly includes “$10,000 in both entertainment expenses and online shopping, thousands in ‘self-care’ costs, and $12,000 spent at HomeGoods.”

After giving birth to their daughter in 2012, Jenkins-Hernandez had a second daughter in 2018.
