Yolanda Hadid and Joseph Jingoli started dating in January 2019 and got engaged three years later. Fans may have assumed they were in the middle of wedding planning, but People reports that they broke up in January 2025. The news had not been reported until now. But what went wrong, and why did the pair end their engagement?
What Do We Know About Yolanda Hadid’s Breakup?
“They remain friends and have nothing but fond memories of their time together,” the source said on June 5, People reports.
The former couple first met in 2017 after the “Real Housewives” alum moved to Pennsylvania. In 2022, during a trip to Holland, they became engaged. Still, apart from a few glimpses into their relationship on Instagram and a rare interview, Hadid and Jingoli chose to keep their coupling out of the spotlight. This was a different tactic for Hadid, who has previously been married to Mohamed Hadid and David Foster, the latter of whom featured in the reality show “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
No further details on why Hadid and Jingoli broke up have been revealed, but we do know that there was a time when they were incredibly in love.
A Look at Yolanda Hadid’s Relationship With Joseph Jingoli
After Hadid’s divorce from Foster in 2015, she took time for herself and had no intentions of dating again. That changed when Jingoli entered her life by chance. “I really started focusing,” she told People in January 2018. “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.”
She also shared how their health struggles bonded them. “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,” she said. “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.”
Hadid has been open about her Lyme disease diagnosis in 2012, and the couple even made their public debut when they attended the Global Lyme Alliance’s Annual Gala in N.Y.C. in October 2019.
Hadid has also celebrated their relationship with Instagram posts, including one on January 9, 2019, marking their second anniversary. “All my life I prayed for someone like you!! “ Hadid captioned a photo of them. “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.”
