Joseline Hernandez Shares Holiday Photo of Daughter Bonnie, Fans Wonder Why Child Has Lost Teeth at Age 2

Joseline Hernandez shared an adorable photo of her young daughter, but it was quickly bombarded by folks who noticed the child’s missing teeth.

The “Puerto Rican Princess” expressed how grateful she is for her daughter Bonnie Bella in a heartfelt Instagram post she shared on December 21. She uploaded a photo of baby Bonnie smiling as the nearly 2-year-old posed for her holiday photos.

“Bonnie’Bella has brought me to my knees and brought me closer to the man upstairs,” Hernandez wrote. “She is my miracle. Your Born day Dec 28 is near and your Mother is planning something very Special. You are everything a mother deserve and more. Thank you for choosing me to be your Mother!”

However, the 32-year-old mother’s heartwarming message and sweet photo of baby Bonnie was abruptly overshadowed by fans who questioned why the girl was missing teeth at almost 2.

“She’s too young for her teeth to be missing like that 🙍🏽‍♂️.”

“What is up with her tooth? She’s only 2. The bottoms are fine but what is up with the top. Give me input on this.”

“Wait a min how old is shee?? How is she missing teeth?? I thought teeth don’t fall out till like 6.”

“Wait her teeth already falling out? Isn’t she like 2.”

“2 year old’s aren’t supposed to losing teeth yet but idk what she feeding her child 🤔.”

Other folks clapped back at critics.

“Why is so many of yall grown people worried about her teeth,” one fan commented. “Something that need not to be explained that you should know the answers to. Bonnie is beautiful and is dressed the way her mother chose for her.”

“Ya’ll wonder why ya’ll nappy headed kids bully kids because of the parents. Her teeth will grow back in don’t worry about it.😡” another added.

One person gushed at over how adorable baby Bonnie looked for her holiday photos, “She so cute Joseline 😍💖 and her outfit is Flawless.”

Hernandez welcomed baby Bonnie into the world in 2016 after a split with her father, music producer Stevie J. She claimed in September that her former fiancé had not seen their daughter in five months.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
