Early life
editYolanda van den Herik was born and raised in Papendrecht, South Holland, to a family of Christian background. She has a brother named Leo.[3] When she was seven years old, her father died in a car accident, which left her mother, Ans van den Herik (1941–2019), to raise the two children.[2]
Career
editDutch designer Frans Molenaar asked van den Herik to replace one of his models at a show, where she was discovered by Eileen Ford and signed a contract with Ford Models. Afterward, van den Herik modeled in Paris, Milan, Sydney, Cape Town, Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles, and Hamburg.[2] She modeled for 15 years before wanting to settle down and start a family. In 1994, van den Herik moved to Los Angeles to start her family after meeting and marrying Mohamed Hadid.[4]
On 11 January 2018, her reality TV show competition Making a Model with Yolanda Hadid premiered on Lifetime, which has been developed under the working title Model Moms.[5]
Personal life

Van den Herik's first marriage was to Mohamed Hadid, a real estate developer, from 1994 until 2000.[6] The couple has three children together, Jelena "Gigi"[2] (born 23 April 1995), Isabella "Bella" (born 9 October 1996),[2] and Anwar (born 22 June 1999).[2]
Van den Herik married musician, composer, and producer David Foster in Beverly Hills, California on 11 November 2011, after becoming engaged on Christmas Eve, 2010.[7]
On 1 December 2015, Hadid announced she and David Foster planned to divorce.[8][6] The divorce was finalized on 16 October 2017.[9]
She was naturalized as a US citizen on 23 May 2013.[10]
In May 2020, Hadid announced she was in a relationship with the CEO of a construction and development company called Jingoli, Joseph "Joey" Jingoli. [11] They announced their engagement in August 2024.[12]
In October 2021, Hadid's daughter Gigi's partner Zayn Malik filed a no-contest plea to four charges of harassment by Hadid and was sentenced to 360 days of probation.[13][14]
Hadid has stated repeatedly on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and elsewhere that she has symptoms attributed to chronic Lyme disease, a discredited diagnosis that has no scientific backing.[15][16]
In December 2012, Hadid reported that she was having a port implanted in her arm to help treat what she has stated is chronic Lyme. In April 2013, she had the port removed.[17] In January 2015, she revealed that, as a consequence of the illness that Hadid believes she has, she had "lost the ability to read, write, or even watch TV".[18] Hadid also claimed that two of her children also have chronic Lyme.[19]
Hadid's memoir Believe Me: My Battle with the Invisible Disability of Lyme Disease was published in 2017.[20]
