Joseline Hernandez’s Mother-Daughter Videos With Bonnie Bella Show a Changed ‘Puerto Rican Princess,’ Fans Say

Fans who’ve been following former “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Joseline Hernandez‘s career believe her two-year-old daughter helped her turn over a new leaf in her life.

Hernandez recently shared some photos and a video of baby Bonnie showing off her new hairstyle. The video of the 2-year-old went viral as folks noticed how well-behaved she was while getting her hair braided and enjoyed the spectacle of Hernandez getting a huge from the toddler by speaking and singing to her in Spanish.

“You’re name is Bonnie Bella… She is happy,” Hernandez sang to her daughter in Spanish as the little girl grins.

The video of Hernandez and her daughter was viewed over 1.2 million times, and several fans commented on how baby Bella has seemingly helped Hernandez evolve into a better person.

“Joseline, i cried real tears with you the first episode when you were pregnant on lhh. This is so beautiful to see ❤️ you being a mother has helped you grow ❤️,” one fan wrote.

Another added, “This warms my heart💗👑💗 . She lit up when her Mom starting singing and talking. Joseline she’s changed you for the better.”

“You take such care of her OMG! I love you as a mom.. Miss Bella really changed you!”

Before the 31-year-old mother gave birth to her daughter, she had a reputation of fighting and being a mistress. She got into a physical altercation with several of her cast mates, including Tammy Rivera, Althea Heart, Benzino, MiMi Faust and others during season 3 of the “LHHATL” reunion and was escorted out of the building by security.

Hernandez also gained a reputation for promiscuity when she began dating music producer Stevie J. on the VH1 series even though he was in a relationship with Faust, who later split from Stevie J.

Hernandez and Stevie became engaged in 2015, and their baby Bella was born in December 2016. The couple split a few months prior to the birth.

However, the Puerto Rico native has primary custody of her and Stevie’s daughter after becoming engulfed in a nasty custody battle with the producer. The judge awarded Hernandez full physical custody of the 2-year-old in April. She claimed in October 2018 that Stevie J. hadn’t seen their daughter in over five months.

Still independent.

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.
