Yolanda and David's divorce have been rumored since 2013, when they put their Malibu home up for sale, Variety reports. Even more telling: A few months after filing for divorce in late 2015, Yolanda dumped “Foster” on her behalf and returned it to Hadid. She claimed it was because she wanted the same last name as her children, but it seems she couldn't wait for the adoptions to fall in more ways than one.

Like most of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars, Yolanda was famous for that in her younger days. In her case, she had a modeling career that took her all over the world. Yolanda's celebritydom as a star has been resurrected by reality TV, and according to People magazine, her hunger to return the spotlight has been more predatory than her husband's aspirations, although the famous music producer is still trying to keep up.

David Yolanda wanted to be happy, it is reported, so he appeared on Real Housewives with her, perhaps against his better judgement. A source close to Yolanda told People magazine the music producer loved being on the show because it brought him new group fans, and another source claimed David is all over the series, which is understandable given the amount of drama he portrays. It's hard enough watching wives bicker on television. Just imagine being on set with them.

According to one of his friends, David doesn't like playing second fiddle to Yolanda. At first glance, it seems that the reason might be that he is a 16-time Grammy winner who is now known primarily as the “eye candy” to the ex-model-turned-reality-TV star. While the program began to have an impact on him musical career as chairman of the universally inspired music group, this also influenced his charity work as general director Fonda David Foster. The Daily Mail reports that the show has begun to attach negative connotations to David's name, and its charitable activities suffered.

The most surprising element of David and Yolanda's divorce is that her co-stars were supposedly shocked by the split, as if relationship problems are a foreign concept to the Real Housewives. According to the American weekly, other housewives thought that everything was fine between the two. Apparently, they are too self-absorbed to know that the weather is like outside, let them already know how someone else’s marriage is.

David supposedly wasn't there for her

When the wife is diagnosed serious illness and her husband is absent, which is probably not the last marriage. David reportedly travels a lot due to his work in the music business, and due to his grueling schedule, he can't do as much as Yolanda would like as she battles Lyme disease. Although there is not much he can physically do to help her fight the disease, his emotional support could make a huge difference.

“At the end of the day, David hasn't changed, I have,” Yolanda told The Dr. Oz Show (via the newspaper). “...My goal, my energy goes into making things good, trying to change something, trying to find a cure for my children...life and David really travel, go to concerts, loud music. And I mean, I couldn't, I can barely listen to the radio.”

David, question about her illness?

While he has no doubt that his wife is suffering from Lyme disease, David may have doubted how poorly she was feeling. According to the American weekly, a friend of the composer claimed: “David and his family think Yolanda just wants attention so she can be sick. They believe she is exaggerating her condition. They AND indicate that she never received a legitimate diagnosis or a second or third opinion.”

David later released a statement to US Weekly calling the aforementioned rumors “baseless” and “untrue.” David stated: “I have always had and continue to have the utmost respect and love for Yolanda, which is why it is so upsetting to see headlines questioning her chronic debilitating illness.” He added, “I have been by Yolanda's side over the past four years to the best of my ability as she battled the difficulties of her Lyme diagnosis.”

David moved quickly

A couple of months after Yolanda filed for divorce, David was spotted on a date with actress Selma Blair (which Caitlyn Jenner crashed, oddly enough). Two months doesn't seem like too much time to heal a broken heart. Then again, maybe his heart isn't all that broken to begin with. In this case, Yolanda divorcing him had a choice after all.
