‘Wow She’s So Big Now!’: Fans React After Joseline Hernandez Reveals That Her Daughter Bonnie Bella Attended Her First Day of Kindergarten

Joseline Hernandez took to Instagram on Aug. 31 to inform her followers of the millstone her daughter Bonnie Bella Jordan recently achieved.

In the post, the “Joseline’s Cabaret” star disclosed that Jordan had attended her first day of kindergarten by sharing various photos of the 5-year-old. In the images, a smiling Jordan is posing outside of what appears to be the family’s residence.

Jordan was seen wearing her school uniform: a white shirt, a black sweater, a plaid skirt and sneakers. As for her hair, Jordan rocked a half-up, half-down style that included jeweled hairpins.

Alongside the photos, Hernandez shared a video of Jordan asking the question, “Bonnie, first day of kindergarten. Is this your first day of kindergarten?” Jordan responded by shaking her head yes.

In addition to the upload, Hernandez wrote how proud she and her fiancé Robin “DJ Balistic Beats” Ingouma are of Jordan. She wrote, “Bonnie’Bella First day of #kindergarten @balisticbeats and I are #proudParents!”

As the post made its rounds on social media blog sites, many mentioned how much Jordan has grown while sending her well-wishes. One fan even recounted they first saw Jordan as an infant in her father Steven “Stevie J.” Jordan’s arms during an episode of “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.”

“Wow she’s so big now!!”

“Wow so beautiful! I remember when she was born. I remember Stevie holding her on the sofa as a new born in 2017. Look at her wow great job Joseline.”

“Getting so big! Have a great first day Bonnie.”

“Yaaayyyyy have a good day beautiful….she is growing up so fast geesh time flies by fast.”

Among the previous responses, others pointed out how strongly Jordan physically resembled her father, Stevie. One wrote, “Damn, she got Stebbie whole face.” Another said, “Boy her and Mimi’s daughter look a lot alike. Stevie has strong genes.” A third person posted, “She is looking more like Stevie now. Have a fantastic day in school, Bonnie.”

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.
