Joseline Hernandez is clearly head over heels for DJ Balistic Beats, her rumored fiance, and fans couldn’t be happier for her.

The couple have been dating for a while now and posting photos of each other nonstop on social media. The former “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star, 32, uploaded a photo of herself and her beau at their Ritz-Carlton hotel room in New York, about to head out on a date night. She kept her look simple with a cream pea coat while Balistic donned a sweatsuit.

The mother of one took a selfie of her and her beau seemingly in the bathroom mirror and wrote in her caption, “Dinner date with My ❤️.”

After recently going back and forth in court and claiming the other was an unfit parent, it seems Hernandez and Stevie J. have finally put aside their tomfoolery for the sake of their daughter.

As for Hernandez and her boyfriend Ballistics, they publicly announced their relationship in April, with her writing in the caption, “He knows i love him.” It’s unclear about how long they’ve been dating, but the pair are rumored to be married.

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.
