"We've shared 9 beautiful and joyous years together. During that time we experienced love, friendship and the inevitable challenges that come with managing a marriage, careers, blended families and health issues."
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills couple married in a lavish ceremony on November 11, 2011, which was attended by A-listers Michael Buble, Natalie Cole, Donna Summer, Peter Cetera, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Kenny G, the Canadian Tenors, Barbra Streisand, Oprah Winfrey, Muhammad Ali, and Neil Sedaka.
The pair doesn't have any children together, but David has often been a supportive stepfather to Gigi, Bella, and Anwar, Yolanda's three children from her first marriage to Mohamed Hadid. The pair recently sold their lavish Malibu mansion and had been living in a smaller apartment with Anwar as Yolanda continues to battle Lyme disease.
The new season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premieres tonight, which is an odd choice to make this kind of announcement. We wish Yolanda, David and the rest of the family the best of luck during this difficult time.
What are your thoughts? Do you guys see this coming? Thoughts on announcing the split during RHOBH premiere night? Sound off in the comments below!
