Yolanda Hadid said ‘yes’ to her boyfriend of nearly six years, Joseph Jingoli.
The couple’s engagement was casually revealed in a profile done by Architectural Digest.
In the first line of an article done on Hadid’s Texas property, the 60-year-old’s boyfriend is described as her ‘fiance’.
No other mention of a proposal was made in the story, but the article did provide a brief glimpse into their relationship.
However hours later Yolanda confirmed the happy news to People magazine as she revealed that he Joseph had proposed when they were in Holland two days ago.

Hadid’s love story with Texas first began early in her relationship with Jingoli, after he took her on a date to a horse show in Fort Worth.
‘That trip was really my first introduction to Texas,’ she told the publication. ‘We went straight to Fort Worth, where there was a huge horse show with hundreds and hundreds of real, authentic cowboys. It was like being dropped right into a Western movie.’
Throughout the course of their relationship, the couple frequently traveled to the are.
The Texas lifestyle grew on Hadid and she and Jingoli ended up moving to the state and building a home together – which was the subject of their Architectural Digest profile.
Hadid and the CEO of the Jingoli construction and development company started dating in 2019.
According to People, the two met on Yolanda’s farm in Pennsylvania, where the mother of three was recovering from Lyme disease.
‘I really started focusing,’ she said. ‘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.’
Yolanda also revealed the significant similarity they shared: ‘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.

‘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.’
Yolanda was previously married to Mohamed Hadid from 1994 to 2000 and to musician David Foster from 2011 to 2017.
All three of the children have followed in their mother’s footsteps into modelling.
Back in 2020, Yolanda said she was ‘very much in love’ with Jingoli.
In an interview with Bravo’s The Daily Dish, Yolanda – who often does not ‘talk too much about [her] private life’ – opened up her connection with Joseph.
‘I’m very much in love with my boyfriend. What has connected us is probably horses and the farm life,’ explained the RHOBH alum.

At the time, Yolanda resided on a farm in Pennsylvania where she spent her days raising cattle, chickens, and ponies.
‘[Yolanda and Joseph] live 10 miles apart. So it’s kind of perfect,’ she added.
