Yolanda Hadid and Joseph Jingoli have reportedly ended their six-year relationship. The news has taken everyone by surprise, especially considering that the couple had been engaged since 2022, and there had been no reports of trouble in paradise. However, a source has recently confirmed the veracity of the news in a recent interview given to PEOPLE on June 5, 2025.

The source stated:

"They remain friends and have nothing but fond memories of their time together."

Although the reasons for their separation have not yet been disclosed, the source is said to have identified January 2025 as the timeline for their separation. Yolanda has demonstrated a consistent pattern of keeping key personal relationship developments out of the public spotlight. The recent revelation about her breakup with Joseph Jingoli this January underlines the same situation as before, when she opted not to share the announcement of their engagement for two years until 2024.


Yolanda Hadid and Jingoli relationship timeline explored

It was in 2017 that Yolanda Hadid and Jingoli first met, and after two years of knowing and admiring one another, they began dating. Hadid kept their affair secret from everyone and it was really Jingoli’s positive attitude that motivated her to reveal their feelings to the public in October 2019.

Joseph Jingoli reportedly proposed to Yolanda Hadid in 2022 during a trip to Holland. However, the news was kept private until August 2024. They are said to have separated in January 2025, some mere months after announcing their engagement to everyone. The news has caught many by surprise, and speculations are running wild with possible causes for the split.

The news of Yolanda Hadid's breakup also comes shortly after a major family revelation about her ex-husband, Mohamed Hadid. Recently, the existence of Aydan Nix, a previously unknown daughter of Mohamed, has come to light. He reportedly had a fling with a woman named Terri Hatfield Dull over two decades ago, after his divorce from Yolanda in 2001.

While the Hadid sisters, Bella and Gigi, have given Nix a cordial welcome into the family, others have wondered if it could've been a potential factor in contributing to stress in Yolanda Hadid's relationship with Joseph Jingoli.

While claiming to know about Nix's existence over the past year, the two sisteers broke the news to fans via Daily Mail in May 2025:

"Over 20 years ago, our dad, while single, had a brief relationship that led to a pregnancy. Aydan was born and raised in Florida, growing up with the man she lovingly knew as her father until his sudden passing when she was 19. After his passing, she decided to take a genetic test out of curiosity, and that’s how she discovered a biological connection to us. We first connected in late 2023, and from that moment on, we’ve embraced Aydan with open arms."

While Yolanda Hadid and Joseph Jingoli's separation has sparked a lot of speculation on social media, their camps have yet to speak on the matter. Despite their breakup, the former couple reportedly remains on friendly terms.
