PHOTOS: Yolanda Hadid Is Engaged to Longtime Boyfriend Joseph Jingoli

Yolanda Hadid, the former model and beloved reality TV star, has exciting news to share — she’s going to be a bride! The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum confirmed to PEOPLE on Thursday, August 29, that she and her longtime boyfriend, Joseph Jingoli, are officially engaged.

Yolanda Hadid, 60, shared that Joseph proposed to her two years ago while the couple was in Holland. The picturesque setting of her homeland added a special touch to the memorable moment. “It was incredibly romantic,” Yolanda told the outlet, recalling the day Joseph popped the question. The couple’s engagement remained private until now, with the news only recently coming to light.

Their engagement was subtly hinted at in the latest issue of Architectural Digest, where Joseph is referred to as Yolanda’s fiancé. The couple’s journey together began in 2017 when they met in Pennsylvania shortly after Hadid moved there and purchased a farm. Their love story has been one of mutual respect, shared values, and deep connection.

In a 2018 interview with PEOPLE Now, Yolanda reflected on how she met her now-fiancé, revealing that their connection came at a time when she had stepped back from dating to focus on herself. Following her high-profile divorce from music producer David Foster, Yolanda took a break to heal and reassess what she wanted in a partner.

“I really started focusing,” Yolanda said at the time. “I made a love spiral and wrote down exactly everything that was important to me in a man and he magically just rang the doorbell at the farm.” It seems that the universe answered her call, bringing Joseph into her life just when she was ready to open her heart again.

One of the key factors that drew Yolanda and Joseph together was their shared experiences with serious health challenges. Yolanda has been living with chronic Lyme disease since 2012, a condition that has profoundly impacted her life. Joseph, who is the CEO of a construction and development company, also faced his own life-threatening health issues in the past.

“When you meet somebody that thought he was going to die, like I felt I was gonna die, you have a whole new appreciation for life and you kind of share that, so that’s really already a common bond that we have,” Yolanda shared, explaining how their similar experiences created a deep understanding and connection between them. “To live in the moment, enjoy every day, and not wait. Why take it slow? Let’s just go for it and have a great time.”

By 2020, Yolanda openly expressed that she was “very much in love” with Joseph. Their relationship had blossomed into something truly special, built on trust, understanding, and mutual support. Joseph, who has been a constant source of strength for Yolanda, is not just the man she loves but also someone she deeply admires.

The couple celebrated their two-year anniversary the following year, marking the occasion with a heartfelt Instagram tribute from Yolanda. “❤️All my life I prayed for someone like you!!” she wrote alongside a collection of sweet photos of the two of them together. “Thank you for being such a bright light in my life, the calm in my storm and for being the most honorable man that I know…. Happy 2 year anniversary Joey Jingoli, I love and appreciate you 😘.”

As they look forward to their future together, Yolanda and Joseph’s love story is a testament to finding joy and companionship after adversity. Their engagement is not just a new chapter in their lives but also a celebration of the love they’ve built over the years.

Yolanda Yolanda’s journey has been marked by both challenges and triumphs, but with Joseph by her side, she’s ready to embrace whatever comes next with open arms and a full heart. Fans and followers of the reality star will undoubtedly be eager to see more of this happy couple as they continue to share their life together.
