Early Years
On April 17, 1980, Bernice was born, and she came from Puerto Rican ancestry – women born in this part of the world is considered to be the best-looking women in the world since they heritage is often mix-raced. The women are known for their attractive looks.
Her family moved to the U.S.A., so Bernice grew up in the tri-state region of suburbanite neighbourhoods and cities, between New York City, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
The vast majority of her childhood she spent in so-called Spanish Harlem.
The thing that the public know is that before she got the fame and fortune that she has today, she worked jobs like waitressing and bartending in many Bronx clubs -what needs to be mentioned here is that success for her did not come overnight, and she was famous and still working the same everyday job.
She spoke about this period on numerous occasions, and she was even then aware that she was different, completely knowledgeable of her good looks and confident that she will make something special out of her life.
And her good looks provided her with the opportunity to make something better from her life – Bernice got a try into the modelling world, where she successful caught the eye from the public.
She was also the star of fashion shows and was featured on the cover of multiple magazines, especially in the 2000s when RnB, hip-hop, and mixture of the two became extremely popular.

Nowadays, it can be seen how much her daughter Ashely looks like her mother – she has the same curvy look. Some claim that they have the same surgeon cause they are so alike.

Ashely gave birth to a daughter named Amarie, and this made Beatrice a grandmother at a very young age.
But she was, as every young woman a desire to find love, but her love affairs were connected to high profile boyfriends – some of them were very public, and some of them are never confirmed, even in a moment when paparazzi made some photos of her and alleged boyfriends.

As far as her relationship with T. I, there were claims that his formal wife, Tiny accused Bernice of ruining her marriage.
Bernice said in her defence that T. I told her that he was divorced and that his marriage to Tiny was over long before they started dating.
