‘Love That You’re Being Loved’: Fans Praise Joseline Hernandez and DJ Boyfriend Baecation As Custody Issues Wages on with Ex-Stevie J

Joseline Hernandez is still going strong with boyfriend DJ Balistic Beats, and a new photo of the jet-setting pair has fans amazed.

The former “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star was pictured locking her arm around her man as they made their way through The Ritz Carlton Beach Club in Sarasota, Florida, Sunday.

The duo have been enjoying time together on the beach, and fans have enjoyed seeing them with each other.

“Perfect couple !! Made in Heaven 😍😘”

“Y’all look good together. Remain strong and focused Joseline, Bonnie will be home soon.”

“Truly love that you’re being loved”

“🔥👁️🔥 I see you making appearances”

“You really upgraded.”

“A complete upgrade 💀😂❤️”

That upgrade fans are referring to, of course, is from the relationship Hernandez once had with her ex-“LHHATL” co-star and former fiancé Stevie J.

The pair dated back when they were both on the VH1 reality series and even got engaged, but broke things off in 2016. They did, however, manage to have a daughter together, 2-year-old Bonnie Bella, before they split.

Bonnie’s existence, however, led to a bitter custody battle to erupt between the former flames. Last month, Hernandez took aim at her ex during a court hearing after the music producer allegedly attempted to have her jailed for violating the custody agreement they came to a year ago. Stevie filed documents to have the self-proclaimed Puerto Rican Princess held in contempt of court when he claimed Hernandez refused to allow him to visit his daughter. She, however, denied her ex’s claims and asked a judge to have Stevie J.’s filing tossed out.

It’s the latest in the continued battle for Stevie to obtain custody of Bonnie. When he filed to have primary custody of the toddler, he also expressed fear for his daughter’s well-being and wanted a judge to appoint a “guardian ad litem,” a court-appointed third party, often an attorney, who looks after a child’s best interests. Should the reality star have been granted primary custody, he wanted his ex-fiancée to be compelled to pay him child support.

Fans have now suspected the continued custody battle has begun to take its toll on Hernandez, who appeared to look saddened in recent pics.

As such, fans send messages of support to the star, encouraging her to remain strong.

“Im rooting 4 u always @joseline 🙌❤️ all set backs is over come by get backs…stay strong the child just need both parents.”

“Be strong … You are a awsome Mom.. Soon everything goes back to normal…🇵🇷💯🙏.”

“Keep ya head up you gon get ya daughter back just have joint custody everybody loves to be kid free sometimes.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
