‘Woah’: Joseline Hernandez’s Niece Looks Just Like Her In This Photo

Joseline Hernandez and her 5-year-old niece Jileny apparently look just alike.

Hernandez, 33, shared a touching message for her niece’s birthday and also posted a series of Instagram photos from the child’s party. She wrote, “With all the Madness in the World my family and I came together to celebrate my Favorite Niece B-Day! Keeping the Hispanic and Black Community together and Strong especially the kids is what we most need Now!”

One of the images included a photo of the former “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star and Jileny, the daughter of Joseline’s brother Jorge, posing for a selfie together. According to social media users, the “Puerto Rican Princess” and Jileny strongly resembled each other.

“Awww she is cute and she looks just like you 😍,” one person commented.

A second person wrote, “Woah that is your twin she literally has your face😩❤️ and looks just like you.”

Someone else commented, “Omg so cute 😍 Happy Birthday Princess. Your twin😍”

Another image showed Hernandez posing with her 3-year-old daughter Bonnie Bella, whom fans couldn’t stop gushing over. One person wrote, “Bonnie is so freaking cute!!! 💕💕 This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing these lovely photos.” Another IG user remarked, “So sweet joseline Bella is so adorable💘. She looks like your sis and your niece looks like you ❤️”

Hernandez’s recent post comes a day after a report emerged that her ex-fiancé Stevie J., whom she shares Bonnie Bella with, was attacked last week by his wife, singer Faith Evans.

The “Soon as I Get Home” songstress was arrested last week for felony domestic violence, TMZ reported. It’s unclear what led to the couple’s quarrel, but their verbal confrontation allegedly turned violent. Police claimed Stevie J. had “visible marks and scratches” on his face, according to the report.

Hernandez, surprisingly, hasn’t spoken out about the incident involving her ex-fiancé. Social media users, however, have expressed mixed reactions. A Twitter user wrote, “I know we’re in some serious times, but Faith Evans going to jail over beating Stevie J’s a– is hilarious. Sis be knockin his head b/t the washer & dryer foreal.”

A second person said, “Meanwhile Stevie J got Our Queen Faith Evans Doing sh-t she no damn well he not worth it for,” while a third fan remarked, “Why did Faith Evans jump on Stevie J ? Lemme guess, he got caught in a lie and was caught cheating ? Lol”

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.
