Joseline Hernandez Slams Stevie J. for Not Paying Child Support

Posted byBy Tia Berger | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Joseline Hernandez recently slammed her ex-fiancé Stevie J. for not financially supporting their 1-year-old daughter.

Hernandez and music producer Stevie J. have been broken up for two years, but the pair is still dealing with legal drama. During an interview with Bossip on Thursday, Hernandez blasted her “baby daddy” for not paying child support.

When the “Puerto Rican Princess” was asked about her whereabouts when news broke of Faith Evans and Stevie J.’s marriage, Hernandez replied, “I wasn’t anywhere around because you haven’t paid child support in about eight months.” She added, “Everyone knows that my baby daddy denied my daughter. A person that denies a 99.9% bloodline, how dare you believe them!”

However, “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” producer Mona Scott-Young defended Stevie and told Wendy Williams that he indeed does pay child support.

“He spends a lot of time with those kids. The checks go to him, but I know he also started a fund — sorry to put it out there, Stevie — he also started a fund where a portion of his income goes in to take care of his kids. So he takes care of his kids, yeah.”

Hernandez and Stevie J. called it quits in 2016 and also welcomed their baby girl Bonnie Bella that same year. However, the harmony between the former couple didn’t last long, leading the two to family court.

The pair finally came to an agreement in their nasty custody battle. Both parents were awarded physical joint custody, but Hernandez was given primary custody. The judge also ordered Stevie J. to pay $1,000 a month for his daughter.

Hernandez has been promoting her new reality show “Joseline Takes Miami,” which is scheduled to air in September. The star’s show will be focused on her journey of single motherhood with her adorable daughter Bella.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
