The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Yolanda Hadid always has someone special by her side to navigate life’s ups and downs with. You see, Yolanda celebrated her “best friend” and “confidant,” Paige, whom she has known for close to four decades, during which Yolanda has definitely experienced some notable changes in her life, from seeing her kids grow up to superstars to ending several romantic relationships (including, most recently, her reported split from her fiance, Joseph Jingoli).
The supermodel took to social media to commemorate her bestie’s birthday, posting a slew of heartfelt photos and messages on her Instagram Story. “Happy Birthday to my ride or die, my best friend, confidant, gatekeeper to my fault, and everything in between,” Yolanda wrote on a pic that captured her serving Paige a pink birthday cake.
Another story post featured a stunning snap of her and Paige dancing together, with the pair smiling ear to ear.
“Thank you for 35 years of friendship. I don’t know how I would’ve done life without you by my side, cheers to another journey around the sun, may each day, love, health, and happiness come your way,” she wrote on the post. “You deserve only the best, [I] love you and [appreciate] you, my beautiful.”
Yolanda also shared an adorable throwback picture, featuring her three children, Bella, Gigi, and Anwar Hadid, long before their modeling careers. “Best supporter of the single moms club,” Yolanda wrote on the post.
In total, Yolanda posted 14 photos featuring her and Paige, giving an inside look at the dynamic duo’s friendship. “Best travel partner,” Yolanda wrote on a photo capturing the pair in linen beach coverups during a tropical vacation.
Yolanda also posted pics of her and Paige on her peaceful farm. The former housewife posted three snaps of Paige with her horses, writing “Best horse buddy” on one of the pics.
In another post featuring Paige with Yolanda’s goats, Yolanda wrote, “[Paige] loves the farm as much as I do.”
Inside Yolanda Hadid’s life today
When she’s not hanging with Paige, she’s also keeping busy on her farm, as well as with her family, including her granddaughter, Khai. She’s also reportedly single again (more on that below).
See Yolanda Hadid’s farm
After her time on RHOBH, Yolanda swapped the glamorous lights of Los Angeles for a quaint farm life in Pennsylvania. Although she prefers to keep her personal life private, the mom of three loves to share snaps of her gorgeous home and farm.
Last month, Yolanda posted stunning photos from the farm to her Instagram Story. One snap captured the lush greenery and flowers surrounding her peaceful abode, while another pictured two geese and their adorable babies in her yard.
The serene sanctuary has become a haven for the entire Hadid family. In a 2019 interview with Elle, Gigi said that the farm is the ideal place for her and her siblings to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. “It’s where we can all come and feel like ourselves again,” Gigi told the magazine.
As it turns out, Yolanda is such a fan of rustic retreats that she also owns a ranch in Texas.
Yolanda Hadid reportedly ends engagement to Joseph Jingoli
According to People magazine, Yolanda and Joseph Jingoli called off their engagement in January 2025, almost three years after Joseph got down on one knee. A source told the outlet that the split was amicable, as the ex-couple “remain friends” to this day. “[They] have nothing but fond memories of their time together,” the insider said.
Yolanda met Joseph when she moved to Pennsylvania in 2017, and the pair began dating a year later. Joseph is the CEO of a construction and development company that has been in his family for five generations.
Yolanda opened up about their relationship in a 2018 interview with People, about a year after she finalized her divorce from David Foster.
“I really wanted to take the time, this time, to heal from not only Lyme disease but my divorce and really step into my own power as an independent woman and just feel whole on my own for the first time in, you know, 53 years,” she told the outlet. “And so I really took that time, I didn’t want to date, I didn’t want to meet anybody.”
“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 added.
A glimpse into Yolanda Hadid’s life as a grandmother to Khai
Yolanda remains close with her children, and loves being a grandma to Gigi Hadid’s daughter, Khai. The Dutch native opened up about her special connection to her granddaughter in an interview with People in 2021. “The extraordinary part of that is my mom passed away and Gigi got pregnant maybe two months later,” Yolanda told the magazine. “So it shows you the cycle of life.”
Yolanda then explained how thankful she was for her first grandchild. “We lost somebody so special to the family, and we have a new little angel, so that’s been a great blessing, for sure.”
