Yolanda Hadid is officially off the market and heading back to the altar. The 62-year-old former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has celebrated a surprise engagement to industrial real estate tycoon Randy Kendrick. All eyes have turned to her famous supermodel daughters, Gigi and Bella, to see if they will give the relationship their blessing.
The bombshell news comes after Yolanda split from her partner of six years, construction boss Joseph Jingoli. Instead of settling down for a quiet country life on a rustic farm with her 'cowboy' boyfriend, the infamous 'Almond Mom' has favored a high-flying billionaire world. Now, fans are wondering what her protective daughters think about welcoming yet another stepfather into the family.
The Ultimate Mogul Upgrade
Yolanda has a long and calculated history of aligning herself with massive fortunes. She was first married to mega-rich property developer Mohamed Hadid, the father of Gigi, Bella, and Anwar. She soon moved on to Hollywood music royalty with Grammy-winning producer David Foster.
Now, she has snapped up Randy Kendrick, the billionaire founder of Xebec and CEO of Sandow Lakes Ranch Venture. He is a the titan behind the redevelopment of massive industrial plots into advanced manufacturing campuses.
Kendrick proposed with a huge engagement ring. But it is her rapid jump from a quiet country lifestyle straight back to a billionaire's boardroom that has raised eyebrows . The move marks a dramatic return to the staggering wealth that defined her Beverly Hills days.
Will the Supermodel Sisters Sign Off?
For Gigi, 31, and Bella, 29, their mother's happiness is important, but the supermodel sisters are protective of the woman who raised them. Bella and Gigi had front-row seats to the publicised collapse of Yolanda's marriage to David Foster. Global television cameras were quick to document every second of the messy split, which unfolded while the reality star battled severe Lyme disease.
Sources close to the fashion dynasty suggest the siblings are cautious about any new addition to their tight-knit inner circle. The entire David Foster fiasco made them wary of flashy, high-society matches, knowing that every single move would be subjected to relentless public scrutiny.
The sisters are no strangers to turbulent relationships themselves. They have endured their own fair share of messy breakups under the glare of the paparazzi lenses. These shared experiences have made the Hadid clan value family stability above all else. Their mother's engagement has left the siblings to process the sudden change in their family dynamics.
A Billionaire in the Background
However, there may be a silver lining that wins the supermodel sisters over. Unlike David Foster, who thrived in the Hollywood spotlight, Randy Kendrick is known for being intensely private. As the head of a giant logistics empire, his wealth is rooted in concrete and commerce, rather than the toxic celebrity gossip machine of Los Angeles.
For the sisters, Kendrick's choice to remain low-key is a massive plus point. Gigi is currently busy balancing motherhood with her own high-profile romance with Hollywood A-lister Bradley Cooper, while Bella has chosen to pursue a more grounded life away from the runway.
Only time will tell if Gigi and Bella will be standing by Yolanda's side as bridesmaids. But one thing is absolutely certain: the world's most famous model dynasty will be watching this new billionaire stepdad very closely indeed.
