In a 2018 interview with PEOPLE Now, Hadid recalled meeting her now-fiancé after she took some time off from dating to focus on herself following her divorce from David Foster.

Hadid, who has lived with chronic Lyme disease since 2012, said that Jingoli being "cute" wasn't the only reason she fell for him.
“When you meet somebody that thought he was going to die, like I felt I was gonna die, you have a whole new appreciation for life and you kind of share that, so that’s really already a common bond that we have,” said Hadid. “To live in the moment, enjoy every day, and not wait. Why take it slow? Let’s just go for it and have a great time.”
