Joseline Hernandez Fans Confuse Her New Boo for Her Ex Stevie J. in Recent Post: ‘Stevie?’

It seems Joseline Hernandez is trying her best to move on from her ex-fiancé Stevie J., but fans are apparently making it almost impossible for her do so.

It’s no secret that the former “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star has a new man in her life and she’s been posting photos of her and her new beau nonstop. But there’s one problem: Fans of the self-proclaimed “Puerto Rican Princess” are saying that her new boyfriend DJ Ballistic Beats looks almost identical to ex Stevie J.

The 32-year-old took to Instagram on Friday evening with a photo of her and her suitor posing inside of a three-wheel motorcycle Slingshot together. She captioned the photo, “#bonnieandclyde.”

In the image, Hernandez is posed with her chin up at the camera while Beats stuck up his middle finger. His face was slightly blocked by the vehicle’s passenger seat, leaving only the upper portion of his face showing.

With his face partially obscured, fans confused Hernandez’s boyfriend for her ex.

“I saw the same face you did, 🤣 Clyde over there looking deadass like Stevie. NO CAPPPPP!”

“Stevie? 😭 she would pick someone who looks exactly like her ex smh.”

“👀 Is that Stebbie👀???? Thought tht was him for a second 🤣.”

“Damn he look like @hitmansteviej_1 from the nose on up😂 you sure know hot to pick em 😭.”

“Look like Stevie In da back lo I could’ve sworn it was him first glimpse 😩.”

Hernandez and Stevie J. were off and on for years before officially calling their relationship quits in 2016, a few months before she gave birth to their daughter Bonnie Bella in December.

However, over the past few months the mother of one claimed Stevie J. has been a neglectful father to their 2-year-old daughter. A few weeks ago, she claimed Stevie hadn’t seen the toddler in over a year and that his wife, singer Faith Evans, was the one paying for his child support.

Stevie has yet to address Hernandez’s claims of his not being present in their daughter’s life, but he did share a post saying that he would be seeing their 2-year-old daughter in “two weeks.” It was quickly denounced, however, by the “Baby Daddy” lyricist, who commented, “Bonnie’bella don’t know who you are.”

Despite what fans may think about Hernandez’s new man Beats and her life, the celeb appears to be happy with him.

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.
