Biography[]
Family and Childhood[]
Aaron Josef Hernandez was born in Bristol, Connecticut on November 6, 1989 to Puerto Rican descendant, Dennis Jonathan Hernandez Sr. and Italian descendant, Terri Valentine Hernandez. He is also the younger brother of Dennis Jonathan "D.J." Hernandez Jr.
During his childhood, Hernandez and his brother witnessed their father get kicked out their home by their mother various times but would always allow him to return. But fighting continued in the household as Hernandez stated.
In 1991, Dennis Sr. and Terri divorced after 5 years of marriage but remarried in 1996. At the time both parents had criminal records and Hernandez claimed their fighting still continued. Dennis Sr. has been pushing Aaron and D.J. into sports and the father would become abusive to both his sons and his wife giving them both beatings that were tied to alcohol. The brothers lived their lives scared of their father, with Aaron's injuries being seen by his coach who would later be pushed by the former's father.
Dennis Sr. still ran into problems with law but would eventually turn his life around to become a good father figure. In January 2006, Dennis Sr. died from a failed hernia surgery. This would be a severe blow to specifically Aaron who took his grief by rebelling against authority figures and claimed by those who knew him, continued to grieve for the rest of his life.
Hernandez then became estranged from his mother after an affair was revealed the latter had with Jeff Cummings and would move in with his elder cousin and Cumming's wife, Tanya Singleton. After Cummings and Singleton divorced the former moved in with Terri which made Aaron go ballistic and get into criminal activity while living with Tanya.
Hernandez stated in a jailhouse interview that his mother allegedly failed to give him his ADHD medication and how her affair affected him. He also stated both him and D.J. were raped and sexually molested as kids, starting when the former was 6 years old and ongoing for several years.
