Yolanda Hadid is no stranger to model competition series
Yolanda, who was born and raised in the Netherlands, joined the model competition series in 2022 for Cycle 13. It was a fitting gig for the Dutch-born businesswoman, as she entered the fashion industry at age 16, and is now the mother of three models: daughters Gigi and Bella Hadid and son Anwar Hadid, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Mohamed Hadid.
About four years before joining HNTM, the former ’Wife hosted another reality competition series, dubbed Making a Model with Yolanda Hadid. The show focused on a group of aspiring young models who spent two months living under the same roof with their moms. Yolanda spoke about the show in a 2018 interview with BUILD, explaining why she was so drawn to the concept.
“It just resonated with me,” she said about Making a Model. “I’ve been really struggling with the fact that the new generation is becoming so disconnected with family, from their moms — everybody is so busy on their phones and life is out there, yet we forget to be intimate with those closest to us. So I just thought it’d be great to bring the [contestants’] moms and just be two months without a phone.”
Yolanda Hadid shares updates on her boyfriend and farm life
Since then, Yolanda has provided occasional updates on her personal life, including her relationship with Joseph Jingoli and her new life on a Pennsylvania farm.
“I’m very much in love with my boyfriend,” Yolanda said in a vintage BravoTV.com interview. “What has connected us is probably horses and the farm life. And we live 10 miles apart so it’s kind of perfect.”
