Yolanda Hadid, a former star of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” recently revealed her secret engagement to Joseph Jingoli. She confided to People Magazine that her partner of six years proposed during a trip to Holland two years ago.
A Surprise Engagement Announcement
The former reality TV star kept her engagement under wraps for a considerable time. Interesting enough, hints of the engagement first leaked out when the Architectural Digest referred to Jingoli as Yolanda’s “fiancé” in August 2024. The under-the-radar proposal by Jingoli while in Holland in 2022 flew low and unnoticed until the unexpected reveal.
Who Is Joseph Jingoli?
If you don’t know who Joseph Jingoli is, he is the CEO of the construction and development company baptised in his name. Jingoli, a family-owned business, boasts of a rich history, stemming back to its inception in 1922.
Yolanda’s Past Marriages and Relationship History
Before this seemingly quiet and private relationship with Jingoli, Yolanda was known for her high-profile marriages. While featuring in “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” Yolanda was married to music celebrity David Foster. They got married in 2011. However, Yolanda’s life dramatically altered when she was diagnosed with neurological Lyme disease only one year into their marriage.
The Impact of Lyme Disease
Yolanda’s illness wreaked havoc in her life and marriage. As she explained, everything they enjoyed doing together like going for morning walks, blasting music in the house, or having dinner parties suddenly stopped. She was unable to engage in any of these activities due to her debilitating health.
There have been whispers and speculations that Foster left Hadid because of her sickness. However, he dismissed these rumors in a Netflix documentary, stating the reason was different and something he won’t reveal publicly.
Looking back, Yolanda held no grudges communicating her gratitude for those seven years spent with Foster. She termed it as a ‘great run.’
Yolanda’s First Marriage
Before Foster, Yolanda’s first alliance was with wealthy real estate developer, Mohamed Hadid. This marriage, which began in 1994, broke down in 2000. They were parents of three wonderful children, Gigi, Bella, and Anwar. Yolanda was introduced to “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” through Mohamed, who was close friends with then-cast member Lisa Vanderpump.
Even though infidelity led to her split with Mohamed, Yolanda maintains good terms with her ex-husband. She believes it’s the most honorable to admit one’s mistakes and move on, doing one’s best to right whatever wrongs were made.
Unfolding a New Chapter
After her tumultuous marital history, it seems Yolanda Hadid is all set on her love journey with Joseph Jingoli, embracing a new chapter in her life. Her ability to keep the engagement away from the prying eyes of the gossip industry has certainly stirred curiosity and excitement among stargazers.
