Jayde Adams’s girlfriend, Aqueela Adendorf, has hinted at being mistreated by the late soccer star’s family following the shock death a few months ago.
The former Bafana Bafana player reportedly took his own life in July, shortly after the national team’s return from the FIFA World Cup, where they had played in the US and Mexico.
Jayden left behind two children – a five-year-old daughter with his partner, and a toddler son with another woman.
JAYDEN ADAMS’S GIRLFRIEND HINTS AT CONFLICTOn her TikTok account, Aqueelah Adendorf hinted at enduring family conflict, almost three months after Jayden Adams’s shock death.
The mother-of-one posted pictures of her daughter, Allaia-Jayda, implying that all was not well.
She shared: “She was the apple of her daddy’s eye, his little girl, his whole heart. 😩 He would never have allowed the things that are happening now, and it hurts knowing he isn’t here to protect her the way he always would have. 💔
She continued: “People say they care, but when it truly matters, you see who actually does. No one could ever replace her dad. But I’ll continue to protect her, love her and make sure she never feels alone. She has me, and I’ll always be there for her”.
Under the post, Aqueelah liked comments saying she had been “excluded” from family events and had to raise her daughter without the “resources” of her famous father. Another comment which she liked read: “Family turn into monsters”.
Jayden Adams’s partner also received the support of fellow Bafana Bafana and Sundowns WAG, Imaan Rayers, the wife of Iqraam Rayners, who commented: “You know that I’ll be here regardless. I love you”
TOMBSTONE REVEAL
Last month, the family of Jayden Adams unveiled his tombstone at his grave in the Jamestown Cemetery in Stellenbosch.
Jayden’s parents and loved ones wore Sundowns soccer T-shirts with his surname, “Adams,” printed on the back.
On his tombstone was a picture of Jayden donning his Sundowns kit as he lifted the CAF Champions League title.
In pictures posted on her social media accounts, Aqueelah is seen wearing white, whilst consoling her five-year-old daughter.
She shared: “It’s just you and me now, my girl. I never imagined I’d have to raise you without your daddy, but I promise I’ll give you all the love, strength and protection you need”.
She added: “You’ll never have to wonder if you’re loved. Mommy’s got you, always”.
Jayden’s other baby mama also shared pictures from the occasion.
