Yolanda Hadid (also known as Yolanda Foster) is a Dutch television personality and former fashion model best known for starring in the docu-reality series The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Yolanda was born and raised in Papendrecht, a small farmer's town in Holland, where she rode horses, milked cows and loved the farm. She grew up rather fast after her father passed away when she was 7 and, feeling the need to provide for her brother and her single mom.

She became a dishwasher at the local Chinese restaurant at the age of 13. At aged 16 she was discovered by world famous modeling agent, Eileen Ford, and left Holland to become an international model living and working in Paris, Milan, Hamburg, Sydney, Tokyo, and eventually New York.

In 1994 she moved to Los Angeles and started her family with former husband Mohamed Hadid, with whom she has three children, Gigi, Bella and Anwar.

In 2000 she became a single mom and moved to a horse farm in Montecito with her young children and ran an interior design business from home.

On 11-11-11, Yolanda married producer, songwriter and 16 time Grammy Award winner David Foster, who is credited with discovering Celine Dion, Michael Buble, Josh Groban, and many more. They currently live in Malibu where Yolanda juggles a blended family of her own children plus five stepdaughters.

After getting the kids off to school, she puts in a full day at the office running her company, Hopelessly Romantic, a one-stop destination to help men and women "get wise and keep their romance alive".
