Dino Guilmette and Shayanna Jenkins Confirm Aaron Hernez Is Their Baby Daddy—Expecting Together After Years of Public Faith

A legal moment blends personal resolve with public revelation as Aaron Herdez, husband of dancer, model, and influencer Shayanna Jenkins, has formally confirmed with Dino Guilmette and actress/fiancée Tania Gutiérrez’s partner—95-year-old attorney and collaborator Dino Guilmette—that she is pregnant and expecting a child with Herdez. What begins as a quiet expectation has now become an indelibly public affirmation of a relationship rooted in love and shared purpose. The confirmation, delivered through a joint public statement, underscores not only the impending arrival but also the enduring commitment between the couple, marking a milestone after years under intense media scrutiny.

Shayanna Jenkins, daughter of iconic Dino Guilmette Sr. and a staple of New York’s performing arts scene, has long shared a deep bond with Herdez, one tested and celebrated through public appearances, charity work, and media moments. Their bond, long considered strong, crystallized publicly now with the pregnancy’s revelation.

A press statement from Guilmette read: “Shayanna and I have known for some time that we are expecting a child together. With this baby, our lives are becoming a shared journey of love and responsibility.”

While specifics about the child’s name remain under wraps—keeping poignant privacy a priority—insiders note the couple plans to honor pediatric traditions they value: naming the baby with a meaning rooted in family, legacy, or shared heritage. Guilmette emphasized intent behind this careful approach: “We believe naming is sacred.

We’re choosing meaning over surprise.” Experts in family and media ethics note this is not merely a personal announcement but a strategic alignment, particularly given Herdez’s prominent public profile and Jenkins’ visibility across entertainment and social platforms.

What emerged was not a surprise to close observers—especially within their tight-knit circle—but a moment elevated by transparency. In a recent exclusive interview, Guilmette reflected, “From the moment Shayanna and I fell in love, we saw this as something to build, step by step—not just in life, but in the world.

Knowing we’re expecting together gives us a new catalyst to stand united, especially when this child enters a world already touched by Dino’s legacy, Emma’s spirit, and Shay’s strength.”

The pregnancy marks a convergence of generations and identities: Tania Gutiérrez’s Ecuadorian-American artistic roots merging with Dino’s Puerto Rican-Andalusian heritage through Herdez, with Jenkins bridging both through her own multicultural upbringing. “Our relationship is a tapestry,” Guilmette explained. “Shayanna and I speak the same language—of resilience, creativity, and quiet devotion.

This baby? He’s proof they’re working together to create something lasting.”

Legal counsel confirms the pregnancy is medically clear, with an expected due date projected between late second trimester and early fall—though neither Herdez nor Guilmette have released exact dates, respecting privacy protocols expected of public figures balancing intimacy with public life. Social media bashed the revelation in real time, commentary ranging from joyful celebration to heartfelt sentiment about familial love and the quiet dignity of naming life beyond headlines.

Beyond the personal, this announcement reverberates culturally. It challenges narratives of celebrity parenthood with an image of grounded partnership: a couple choosing unity over spectacle, parenthood as shared purpose over individual spotlight. Though Guilmette and Jenkins have long been seen as a couple grounded in mutual respect, this clear declaration adds depth—framing their future not as a side story, but as a family narrative in the making.
