Joseline Hernandez is opening up about co-parenting daughter Bonnie Bella and why she believes her husband, Ballistic Beats, deserves credit for helping raise the 8-year-old.
During a recent interview We In Miami Podcast , the reality star was asked about previously referring to Bonnie Bella as Ballistic’s daughter despite sharing the child with Stevie J.
“I only know one man that’s been taking care of her for the past eight years. I’m sorry. Didn’t know of any other one,” Hernandez said.
She didn’t stop there. When asked whether she feels Stevie J has fallen short as a father, Hernandez explained what she believes fatherhood should look like.
“For me, if I was a father, I would just step in a little bit more and be like, ‘Hey, you need anything? Here’s some money. Do you need to pay for school? Do you need to pay for insurance? Babies aint free”
The Puerto Rican Princess went on to discuss the costs associated with raising a child.
“Babies cost a lot of money. Insurance is very high in the United States. You know that. School is very high in the United States. You know that. Food is very costly in the United States. You know that. A pair of shoes for a baby be like 200.”
Later in the conversation, the interviewer referenced a Father’s Day tribute Hernandez previously shared for Ballistic, reading part of the message aloud.
“Your dedication, your patience, your devotion, your love, your time, your kindness, and how you are all about Bonnie Bella, and it’s truly a dream come true. We have everything we ever wanted because we have you.”
Asked whether she still stood by those words, Hernandez didn’t hesitate.
“Where is the lie? Where’s the lie? Where’s the lie?”
The conversation eventually turned to Hernandez’s relationship with Ballistic. The couple, who have been together for eight years, are currently expecting their first child together.
When asked about the secret to a successful marriage, Hernandez offered a simple answer:
“Compromise.”
She later expanded on that point, explaining that compatibility has played a major role in their relationship.
According to Hernandez, she and Ballistic spent years building businesses and touring together before deciding the timing was right to expand their family.
“That’s why it took us so long to try to have a baby,” Hernandez said. “We just started trying to have a baby three months ago in December and I got pregnant really fast.”
