Dino Guilmette and Shayanna Jenkins are two names that have become known to many in both celebrity and true-crime circles over the past few years. Shayanna would find a degree of fame that could be best summed up by her long-time role of being the fiancée of former NFL player Aaron Hernandez.
Hernandez’s life, character, and legal issues offered a media outlet a tawdry story worthy of pursuit. Shayanna did not lose media spotlight even after Hernandez died in prison in 2017, keeping her story alive, especially when Guilmette, Shayanna’s partner, entered her life as a fiancé and father of their shared child together.
Their relationship has garnered commentary, speculation, and glimpses of their relationship via social media. Now, many 2025 question if Dino Guilmette and Shayanna Jenkins are still together. This article reviews evidence, public social media information, interviews, and speculation for the sake of sharing the most accurate and most probable updated information on their relationship.
The relationship between Guilmette and Jenkins is probably one of the more interesting tales related to a couple with legal trouble, a blended family, and suspense (if one even thinks about the Hernandez circumstances).
Are Dino Guilmette and Shayanna Jenkins Still Together?
There is no certain and unequivocal answer from the public record, but indications suggest that Dino Guilmette and Shayanna Jenkins may still be involved romantically as we reach early 2025. According to Tuko.co.ke Shayanna has a pinned Instagram photo from January 2025 in which she is posing with Dino, their daughters Giselle and Avielle, and another individual. This is suggestive that the two have not separated as a couple.
Nonetheless, there does not appear to be any official confirmation from either party that a romantic relationship continues to exist. They also do not seem to have much of a social media presence, which seems to be pretty private and vague, so this picture may be one of the very few indications of their relationship status since the second week of 2025.
Relationship Status Explained
If they are together, what can you point to as evidence of this? The post that was pinned in January 2025 is one of the better recent public indicators. That said, Shayanna Jenkins’ Instagram is primarily focused on their daughters or personal moments that both are infrequently doing, and Dino Guilmette has not been active in the reputable media in the last couple of months in 2025.
There was no interaction period from 2023 to 2025 that confirmed a relationship interview from any recent published work or other news publications at the time. If they are not together, then not getting a glimmer of news or mention of a separation could also be due to the private nature of both. There is not one confirmed story, or report from an interviewer or verified representative, or other interested party, to reaffirm the separation distances in the general public sphere.
When and Why Did They Break Up?
It is impossible to know definitively if and when Shayanna Jenkins and Dino Guilmette broke up without some plausible announcement or confirmation from a distinguishably reliable news source to that effect. Neither Shayanna nor Dino has written or posted any evidence on social media, and neither has someone with a trustworthy source said anything about them not being together anymore.
Both have always valued privacy in their lives away from the public eye, more so since Shayanna underwent exposure in the media and disregard after Aaron Hernandez’s death. If anything did happen, it appears to be an atmosphere of quiet observation or respect, honoring discretion or privacy.
Shayanna has continued her focus on raising her daughters and living in peace and stability, sharing inspirational posts or family posters, opposed to revealing personal details. Also, Dino has remained quite private about his life while running his family’s business in Rhode Island and his personal family life.
Based on a mutual understanding of the value of privacy, we must create for the benefit of the children. Unless it is clearly confirmed, any allegations of a breakup are merely speculation. For now, both are living freely and quietly in the way they see fit, presenting family and life as priorities.
How It All Started?
Dino Guilmette met Shayanna Jenkins sometime after Aaron Hernandez’s death, possibly in 2017, through a mutual friend group. Their relationship developed rather quickly, as in 2018, Shayanna announced she was pregnant. In June 2018, their daughter, Giselle, an infant at the time, was born. After this, the narrative was all about blending Dino as somewhat of a father figure to Giselle, as well as Shayanna’s other daughter, Avielle, from Aaron Hernandez.
As the process went on, outlets and profiles would identify Dino as a bar owner, businessman from Rhode Island, an,d somehow, a former amateur boxer. That said, serious legal issues created hurdles in the relationship, on the one hand, since that’s a major challenge in itself, and on the other hand, Shayanna being cautious about what information she shared, as she was, and still is, legally mandated to be careful about.
Latest Public Appearance or Mention
As previously stated, the latest, more substantial public hint about the relationship between Shayanna and Dino is Shayanna’s pinned Instagram post from January 2025, which included a picture of herself, Dino, Giselle, Avielle, and a person we don’t know. Shayanna shared selfies with her daughters on social media and some reflections as well.
However, she rarely shares photos of Dino in any of her posts, unless he is in a group photo. Most notably, on September 6, Shaeanna shared a selfie of herself with Avielle and Giselle, and Dino is not in that photo, nor are they mentioned. StyleCaster also noted the ambiguity of their relationship.
Clues from Social Media and Public Life
Indicators that could indicate they are still together include that pinned joint photo, which signifies a joint family or at least a publicly acknowledged connection. The fact that Shayanna has not overtly removed every trace of Dino publicly (unlike certain couples that wipe all evidence) could be viewed as a positive sign.
Signs that could suggest a strain or less connection include the fact that Dino has been relatively absent on Shayanna’s social media, and that they have not shared much new content or made public appearances in unison much in recent years. The absence of those signals, along with the fact that their relationship seems very private, makes it somewhat difficult to read the signals.
Career or Life Developments That May Affect the Relationship
Dino has had legal problems in the last few years: there have been reports of investigations and criminal charges by the Rhode Island law enforcement.
Shayanna, in contrast, has been careful to maintain her private life, putting the public eye on her children’s lives and her own well-being over media or relationship scandals or drama.
The problems stemming from the legal issues, her responsibilities as a family member, and public scrutiny are all being taken into consideration for the relationship’s continued visibility (or viability). Also, Shayanna’s desire to keep most of her social media about her daughters rather than about herself – and her relationships or lack thereof – may be a way of separating her personal and public life, complicating how much any of us can read into the evidence.
What Fans Are Saying?
Fans and followers often make their own quiet observations about this. Some think that the 2025 Instagram post is proof that the relationship is in effect, while others are skeptical and say the lack of public declarations shows them being distant or unclear.
On comment threads, some noted that Shayanna has gradually deleted or limited posts with Dino from her feed, although not completely, and sees that as a possible sign of something cooling. Because both of them appear to protect their privacy, however, fan speculation is tentative, leaning more to cautious optimism or neutral curiosity than actual conclusions.
What’s Next for Them?
If they are going to stay together, the next signs could be a public appearance together, an interview, or a shared social media post. They could also start sharing more about their relationship in a forthcoming media piece or podcast. If they have shifted to a more private or platonic relationship, they could also choose to continue to focus on their children and keep their relationship private. The only thing that could clear this all up is a statement from either of them, but we may not get that until then. We only have some clues, indications, and silence.
Conclusion
To conclude, there is no definitive public response to the question “Are Dino Guilmette and Shayanna Jenkins still together?” Proof that they still are together, at least as far as social media represents, is Shayanna’s pinned Instagram post of January 2025 that included them in a family group.
Still, there is no confirmation that Shayanna or Dino are still romantically involved. The past is documented, from a shirtless post flaring rumors of a relationship in the wake of Aaron Hernandez’s death, the birth of Giselle in 2018, and countless years of blending families while navigating social challenges and legal pressures.
Whether that romantic relationship is ongoing, transformed, or is otherwise quietly ended remains unsubstantiated in the public record. If they decide to state their situation, the fans, observers, and news outlets will take notice. Until then, the images, posts, and silence are what we have.
