‘Lil Steebie…Is Growing Up on Us’: Joseline Hernandez’s Video with Daughter Bonnie Bella Has Fans Gasping Over How Big She’s Gotten 

Former “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Joseline Hernandez showed off her daughter Bonnie Bella Jordan’s natural inches in a new Instagram video.

The 36-year-old uploaded a series of photos and videos into one post that showed fans how much Bonnie Bella has grown. 

The youngster can be seen running her hands through her long hair while her mom’s boyfriend, music producer Robin “DJ Balistic Beats” Ingouma, hyped her up.

The caption referred to an old video from the TV personality’s livestream where she and singer K. Michelle exchanged words via social media after K. Michelle criticized the way Hernandez did her daughter’s hair. 

Hernandez then fired back at her former friend and brought up the fact that K. Michelle doesn’t take care of her son, Chase. In her video, Hernandez suggested, “If you a mama, and you ain’t got your baby and your mama got ya baby, then you not a mama.”

Seemingly mixing up her words, the Puerto Rican princess ended her rant by saying, “Your grandmama’s the baby.” The comical video has been used as a running meme throughout the years. 

While a few fans understood the joke Hernandez made, the majority of fans in her comment section couldn’t take their focus off how much Bonnie Bella has grown. Many also pointed out her resemblance to her father, producer Stevie J. 

“Looking just like Stevie J lmaooo.”

“Omg Bonnie Bella is growing up!!!! Too cute.”

“OMG she’s gotten so big.”

“Lil steebie she is growing up on us! With all that thick pretty hair.”

“Stevie J. and them strong ass genes!! She’s so precious and the hair is slated stiff where?” 

Before Hernandez was in a relationship with Ingouma and Stevie J. embarked on a tumultuous relationship with singer Faith Evans, the two were an on-again, off-again item that shaped the “LHHATL” franchise. 

Their relationship, which was documented in the first few seasons of “LHHATL,” started off with Stevie J helping Hernandez get her music career off the ground. 

Despite Stevie J being in a full-blown relationship with Mimi Faust, things quickly heated up between him and Hernandez and the two began creeping with one another on the low. 

Throughout their time as a couple on the show, the two went through physical fights with each other, abortions, fake engagements, and more before finally welcoming their baby girl into the world on Dec. 28, 2016.

Though they shared a baby together, the two decided to split in 2016, and in an interview with Wendy Williams, Hernandez gave a little insight as to why.

“He’s 15 years older than me, so he’s so controlling,” she shared. “So he just wants to have me like a little puppet master and I’m like, ‘No, I gotta go. Peace out.’”

Though their relationship came to a bitter end, it seems as if the former couple may have finally figured out how to co-parent their one child in a healthy manner.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
