Kennedy, who had previously served drug-related sentences, was arrested in January 2015 for armed robbery and received a sentence of three to five years.

However, the late athlete’s attorney, Jose Baez, denied rumors of a romance to TMZ Sports.

“Rumors of letters to a gay lover, in or out of prison, are false,” he said. “These are malicious leaks used to tarnish somebody who is dead.”

According to Inquisitr, Kennedy’s attorney, Lawrence Army Jr., also shared a statement with press which read in part:

“My client is obviously saddened by the loss of his friend, Aaron Hernandez. I met with him briefly today at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center and I am just learning the facts surrounding the situation.

“A letter was left to me client but neither I, nor my client, have seen the letter. We will be requesting that the letter be turned over to my client as soon as possible.”

In a statement, Hernandez’s family asked for privacy and declined to comment on the rumors.

According to the Guardian, lawyers Hernandez are formally asking that his first-degree murder conviction be dismissed in Massachusetts now that he has died.
