Despite being married to someone else at the time, Yolanda Hadid shared her amicable relationship with her first ex-husband Mohamed Hadid during her three seasons on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Fans got an inside look into Yolanda's happy at-home life with her second husband, David Foster, and her friendly co-parenting relationship with Mohamed, the father of her three children. Yolanda and Mohamed were married for six years before divorcing in 2000. Together, they share their two daughters, Gigi and Bella Hadid, and son Anwar Hadid. The Hadid kids have carried their mother's legacy in modeling and fashion.
Mohamed acquired his wealth and riches by working as a real estate developer. The Jordanian-American is known for building luxury hotels and mansions in the ritzy areas of Los Angeles. Born on November 6, 1948, in Nazareth, Israel, Mohamed rose from rags to riches following a challenging childhood that included being taken by his mother to Damascus, Syria, after his birth. From two past marriages, Mohamed is a father to five adult children, three with RHOBH's Yolanda and his two daughters, Marielle Hadid and Alana Hadid, from his first marriage to Mary Butler.
As a successful luxury real estate developer, Mohamed has had the pleasure of working with big-name clients like Michael Jackson and Sylvester Stallone. He acquired his skill for designing properties after landing in the profession in his youth. Mohamed first ran a shirt business and a limousine company before trying his hand at real estate development in the 1970s, The Sun reports. Mohamed always had a love for cars that started back when he lived on the Greek island of Rhodes and imported classic cars to sell in Washington. Through his many professions, Mohamed had the pleasure of traveling the world and expressing his creativity for a hefty price.
Much like Yolanda's divorce from David, the former supermodel hasn't said much about what caused her divorce from Mohamed. However, she has shut down claims that Polish model Joanna Krupa caused their split. "Joanna Krupa did not cause Mohamed and I's divorce," Yolanda wrote on her Bravo blog after Brandi Glanville brought up the claims on RHOBH. "Unfortunately, infidelity did, but at this point, 12 years later, we have left that negative chapter behind and have moved on to be friends and are united parents to our children (sic)," Yolanda explained. While it was cheating that led to Yolanda and Mohamed parting ways, the business mogul has remained a present father and close friend to Yolanda.
Fans got to see how well Yolanda and Mohamed got along despite them both being with other people at the time Yolanda appeared on RHOBH. Mohamed is known to remain private and not one to share his life on reality TV. However, he agreed to make appearances on RHOBH to support Yolanda at the time. Their family unit has remained solid regardless of their romantic partners. Yolanda and David don't share the same friendly relationship that she does with Mohamed, but having children forced exes to find common ground.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.
