Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez are reportedly pregnant with their first child together, but rumors are circulating that the reality couple faked the said news. According to a report from news site Sandrarose.com, the two are allegedly lying to boost ratings for their reality series "Love And Hiphop: Atlanta".
An insider revealed to the news site that Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez pregnant news is not true. The hoax was allegedly created by the controversial couple along with a "Love And Hiphop: Atlanta" producer named Mona Scott-Young.
The fake pregnancy was also reportedly an attempt to keep the couple "relevant", said the Sandrarose.com report.
Just last week, Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez revealed that they are pregnant by posting on Instagram their first "baby bump" photo.
According to a report from Urban Islandz, the 27-year-old expecting reality star posted on her Instagram account a photo showing her baby daddy rubbing her belly. Also in the photo is R&B singer Johnny Gill, a good friend and colleague of Stevie J.
The 42-year-old singer and music producer also posted on his Instagram page a solo photo of his pregnant girlfriend. The hitmaker captioned the photo: "My baby mama richer than a lot a u ni-a!"
Most comments posted alongside Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez's pregnant photos congratulated the expecting couple. However, some accused the controversial reality stars of using the pregnancy for publicity, saying the "baby bump" is not even obvious yet.
According to a report by Hollywood Life, news about Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez being pregnant was announced by the R&B icon in a radio interview.
Stevie J said: "We got a new addition with the family too, but I don't wanna say too much, you know what I mean?"
"We're expanding the Jordan family, if you understand what I mean," he added.
There is no news yet as to Joseline Hernandez's due date, as well as the gender of the baby.
The reality couple wed in 2013. Prior to Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez being pregnant, the former fathered a daughter with his ex wife, Mimi Faust. The 44-year-old also appears in "Love And Hiphop: Atlanta".
