It was the best-kept secret in the world of reality TV! For two years, Yolanda Hadid and Joseph Jingoli have been secretly engaged, and it is now officially out in the open.

AceShowbiz - Yolanda Hadid, widely known for her stint on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" (RHOBH), has confirmed her long-hidden engagement to her boyfriend of several years, Joseph Jingoli. The reality TV star and model, who turned 60 earlier this year, disclosed to PEOPLE that Jingoli had proposed two years ago during a romantic trip to her homeland, Holland.
"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," Hadid shared in a 2018 interview with PEOPLE Now, reminiscing about how she met her now-fiancé in 2017, shortly after her move to Pennsylvania. The two connected deeply over their shared experiences, including their near-death experiences and love for farm life.
In the latest issue of Architectural Digest, Hadid, who has battled chronic Lyme disease since 2012, referred to Jingoli as her fiancé, leading to speculation that has now been confirmed. The couple has enjoyed a tranquil life together, bonding over their love for horses and the serenity of rural living. "What has connected us is probably horses and the farm life. We live 10 miles apart, so it's kind of perfect," Hadid told BravoTV.com in 2020.
Joseph Jingoli, the CEO of a construction and development company, first swept Hadid off her feet when he took her to a horse show in Fort Worth, Texas, a place that has since become a cherished home base for the couple. They eventually acquired a ranch in Fort Worth, reflecting their mutual love for a laid-back, outdoorsy lifestyle.
The confirmation of their engagement brings joy to fans who have followed Hadid's journey from her time on "RHOBH" to her peaceful farm life with Jingoli. "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," she said, highlighting their unique bond. There's no word yet on when the couple plans to marry, but with their strong connection and loving relationship, it's bound to be a special event.
Yolanda and Joseph continue to embrace each day, taking nothing for granted and living life to its fullest. Their love story is a beautiful testament to finding joy and companionship after hardship.
