Early Life and Education
Joseline Hernandez (born on November 3, 1986, 39 years old) in Ponce, Puerto Rico. Growing up in the island’s public housing system wasn’t easy.
Her biological dad passed away from a heroin overdose when she was just a kid, and by age six, she moved to Florida with her mom, Carmen, stepdad, Luis Silva, and five siblings—Yanira, Jorge, Hisael, Kermit, and Luis Jr.
Her youngest brother has autism, which meant extra responsibilities for the family. To help make ends meet, Joseline started working as an exotic dancer at 16, going by Shenellica Bettencourt.
She went to Coconut Creek High School in Florida, but school took a backseat as she focused on supporting her family. That tough start shaped her into the fierce, determined woman she is today.
Career
Joseline Hernandez’s big break came in 2012 when music producer Stevie J spotted her dancing at Atlanta’s Onyx Club. He cast her in Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, and let me tell you, she stole the show! Her fiery personality and rollercoaster romance with Stevie J made her a fan favorite, helping the show become a VH1 hit.
She appeared at major events like the 2013 AVN Awards and BET Hip Hop Awards and even guest-starred on The Wendy Williams Show and K. Michelle: My Life. In 2016, she and Stevie J starred in their spin-off, Stevie J & Joseline: Go Hollywood, which pulled in 2.6 million viewers at its premiere. She also flexed her acting chops as Michelle, a stripper, in Lee Daniels’ Star on Fox.
In 2017, Joseline walked away from Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta after a dramatic reunion episode, throwing shade at the producers with tracks like “Run Me My Money.“ She didn’t slow down, though—she produced Joseline’s Special Delivery to share her journey as a new mom and launched Joseline’s Cabaret: Miami on Zeus Network in 2020.
The cabaret show she stars in and co-produces is now gearing up for its fourth season in New York. On the music side, Joseline’s dropped Spanish-language bangers like “DAMELO,” “Ghetto Fantasy,” and “Live Your Best Life,” blending reggaeton and dancehall vibes. She’s also been in music videos for big names like Trey Songz and Ciara. With over 55,000 YouTube subscribers, she’s also building a solid fan base online.

Personal Life
Joseline Hernandez has never been one to shy away from who she is—she’s openly bisexual and proud of it. Her relationship with Stevie J was the talk of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta for years.
She tied the knot in 2013, but it turned out to be a publicity stunt, and Joseline later confirmed they were never legally married.
They split in 2016 but have stayed in each other’s lives, primarily because of their daughter, Bonnie Bella Jordan, born December 28, 2016. Co-parenting hasn’t been smooth, with a custody battle kicking off in 2019 after Stevie claimed Joseline limited his time with Bonnie.
Joseline has been with music producer Robin Ingouma, aka Balistic Beats, since 2017. They got engaged in 2020.
There is no word on a wedding yet, but they’re still going strong. She’s also been linked to folks like Tory Lanez and Nikki Mudarris.
In 2023, she made headlines after a scuffle with rapper Big Lex at a Floyd Mayweather event, showing that she still has that fiery spirit. Through it all, Joseline focused on being Bonnie’s mom and keeping her career on track.
