Shayanna and Dino Guilmette's daughter, Giselle Guilmette, was born on 15th June 2018, almost a month after Shayanna announced her pregnancy on Instagram on 22nd May 2018.

Speaking about their unborn child, Dino told Radaronline.com;

I'm going to have my hands full, but I'm happy about it. I'm excited. It's my daughter. She will have two sisters. I have another daughter from a previous relationship, and then, there's Shayanna's daughter with Aaron. It's very exciting.

Shayanna is a lovely young lady. She really is a special person. I adore her. I've watched all of my kids get married. I've married all of them off so far, except Dino. So, hopefully, that's next.

While the family put Aaron's tragic death behind them, they also felt sympathy for him. Bill said:

That's another era in our life that's completely done and over with... I did some research. His father was a fantastic person. When he died, I think that's when everything went downhill for Aaron, besides all the injuries to his brain. I mean, he had the worst case of degenerative brain disorder when they autopsied his brain.

Dino Guilmette's wife's court case

A legal suit between Shayanna and her daughter, Avielle Janelle, surfaced in 2023. In it, Shayanna was accused of misusing Avielle's trust fund.

She allegedly asked a court-appointed trustee, attorney David Schwartz, to pay a $10,697 bill for Avielle’s dance lessons from the trust fund the late Aaron Hernandez set up for the girl. The trust was supposed to contain around $700,000 for Avielle when she turned 25.

David Schwartz refused to pay Avielle's dance lessons from the trust fund because, by his calculations, Shayanna had been getting around $150,000 or more a year since 2018 from Aaron Hernandez's NFL pension and Social Security.

The money was supposed to be spent exclusively on the 10-year-old's daily expenses. David also paid for Shayanna's home and has been paying Avielle's school tuition from the trust fund.

Schwartz looked into Shayanna's expenses and discovered she was spending money on maternity wear (and other clothing), home goods, online shopping, and self-care (including gym fees and hair and nail salon appointments).

Attorney Robert O'Regan, representing David Schwartz in the case, questioned whether the expenditures were for Avielle's benefit. Shayanna disputed the claim, telling Boston.com via email:

Since Aaron’s death, my sole focus has been on raising and providing as stable a life for my children as possible. All monies I have spent have been with this singular focus in mind, and this will continue to be my focus going forward.
