‘Bonnie Stole Her Face’: Joseline Hernandez Fans Claim Her Daughter Looks Like Her After This Photo

Former “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Joseline Hernandez posted a new photo this week that reminded the internet just who her 2-year-old daughter Bonnie Bella looks like.

Although there’s been quite a debate among fans over which parent baby Bonnie looks like the more between Hernandez and her father Stevie J., there’s clearly no denying the child resembles her mother.

The 32-year-old mother took to Instagram on Tuesday evening and shared a selfie of herself at the St. Regis hotel in New York, where she and her rumored fiancé DJ Balistic Beats stayed. Posing in front of a mirror with her cellphone, Hernandez snapped a photo of her casualwear and unfiltered face.

She appeared nearly makeup-free and was wearing a light blue mesh dress adorned with polka dots, a black utility jacket, and cat-eye sunglasses. She captioned her post with four diamond emojis and received over 19,000 likes from her IG followers.

Several of the “LHHATL” alumna’s fans flooded her with comments on how much her 2-year-old daughter looked like her.

“I swear Bonnie stole her whole face ❤️ You look so happy and healthy lately! Regal. Love it 😍”

“What a beautiful photo of you, Joseline that’s Bonnie’s twin 🖤 you”

“Now I see the resemblance between you and Bonnie you really spit her out good lawdt”

“Wow all I see is Bonnie 😍 she looks just like you!”

Hernandez welcomed Bonnie Bella in 2016 with ex-fiancé Stevie J.

Earlier this month, Hernandez temporarily lost custody of her 2-year-old daughter for weeks after reportedly violating her and Stevie’s agreement. She, however, reconnected with baby Bonnie after she and Stevie appeared in court August 15. Details about their court appearance have yet to be revealed.

The reality star has made it clear in prior interviews that she has nothing but her daughter’s best interests at heart.

“You know, I think when you become a mother your whole life changes because now you have to care for another person,” Hernandez told Huffington Post in 2017 in an interview. “Everything that I went through in my life, I want my daughter not to have to go through. … I think that becoming a mother makes you focus so much more in your business.”

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.
