He’s Been Dating Hernandez Since April

The couple went public with their relationship on April 7 with an intimate video of her kissing him and with the caption “He knows i love him.” Beats also uploaded a spicy photo of the 32-year-old mother to his IG page and added the hashtags “#wcw, #shetreatmelikeaking #live #love.”

It’s unclear how long the pair were dating before confirming their relationship status this year.

He’s a Notable Music Producer

Beats is apparently a big-time music producer and has worked with quite a few big name celebrities like Tamar Braxton and fellow producer Prince Charles.

Besides his darling “Puerto Rican Princess,” the Miami-based DJ also worked with “Empire” actor Serayah on her single “Driving Me,” along with music mogul Jazzy Pha, according to Instagram.

They’re Engaged

That’s right! Beats and Hernandez are officially slated to tie the knot. Engagement rumors surrounded the couple when fans noticed a huge rock on the “Church” rapper’s left ring finger, but neither addressed fans’ speculations.

However, as of Sept. 11, Beats confirmed via Instagram he was engaged to the “LHHATL” alumna by posting a sweet text message she sent him for his birthday with the signature “Your fiancé.” He added in his caption “Very Blessed and Highly Favored! Thank you my Love @joseline”

No other details about their engagement are known at this time.

He’s a Philadelphia Native

Beats is originally from Philadelphia and apparently moved to Miami later on in life. He and Hernandez recently visited his mother and siblings while in The City of Brotherly Love, a visit she noted with an IG post she captioned “Family Wine Mom My ❤️.”

Although Philly is where Beats is from, he still refers to the Sunshine State as home.

He and Hernandez Are Slated to Appear on ‘Marriage Boot Camp’

In July, reports claimed Beats and Hernandez were set to appear on season 15 of “Marriage Boot Camp.” The We TV reality series revolves around five celebrity couples from a variety of reality shows who struggle with saving their marriages or relationships.

Specifics about the cast or premiere date of “MBC” have yet to be released, and the couple’s rumored appearance on the show has yet to be confirmed by them personally or We TV officials.

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.
