It's the relationship that won't die.

Just when it seemed like fiery diva Joseline Hernandez and producer Stevie J of "Love and Hip Hop Atlanta" fame were on the permanent outs, Joseline posted an Instagram photo of her kissing him on the cheek.

The pair became famous when the show debuted in 2012 on VH1, a blend of cool and hot. Her jealousy, outsized ego and short fuse did little to endear her with the other cast members. The cocky but always charming Stevie J loved her spirit and forgave her - to a point. Sure, he may have cheated on her but her vengeful, verbally (and sometimes physically) abusive behavior seemed to force his hand last year. He broke up with her. Still, he had gotten her pregnant and they went back and forth over custody and parental rights, staying in the news with defamation charges and calls to the cops.

Then she had her baby in December.

The social media volleying back and forth ceased. Then the photo came out this week and rumors of reconciliation are now in the air. I'm certain we'll see more of the details when the show returns for season six later this year. The show is in production right now.

While the Instagram shot received more than 50,000 likes in two days, reaction was mixed in the comments section. A sampling. And punctuation is as is:

rhaddeah: Awwww I'm glad their back together two love birds they just can't get enough of each other........
