Before Morgan Freeman's step granddaughter, Edena Hines was brutally killed, she was accused of having an affair with him, who is 45 years her senior.
Six years ago, Hines allegedly had a steamy relationship with Freeman, according to Radar Online. The affair was said to even destroy not only his second marriage to Myrna Colley Lee, but also his long-time relationship with his mistress Mary Joyce Hays.
An insider told Radar, "Myrna said Edena told her that when she was a teenager, she and Morgan went to dinner at a friend's house one evening. Both had been drinking, and when they returned home, Morgan attempted to have sex with her."
The source claimed that Hines and Freeman had "stopped just short of having intercourse," and that "Edena explained to Myrna that she stopped Morgan from going any further."
Some insiders are also claiming that that Hines wanted to be pregnant, and that when that time comes, Morgan Freeman will finally marry her.
"Becoming Mrs. Morgan Freeman has been Edena's goal," a source for the media outlet said.
The affair reportedly ended in 2012, when Freeman began dating an accountant. The same year, they both denied the rumors.
Hines said, "These stories about me and my grandfather are not only untrue, they are also hurtful to me and my family."
Freeman said, "The recent reports of any pending marriage or romantic relationship of me to anyone are defamatory fabrications from the tabloid media designed to sell papers. What is even more alarming is that these fabrications are now being picked up by the legitimate press as well."
Edena Hines was found dead in front of her apartment in Manhattan. Her boyfriend, Lamar Davenport, was found standing over her dead body, NZHerald reports.
The 33-year-old girl was stabbed to death 15 times by a knife, according to Nicholas Penhold, Assistant District Attorney.
Davenport was then arrested and is now considered a primary suspect for Edene Hines' murder.
