'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' News: Source Claims Yolanda's Condition Strained Relationship With David Foster
On Tuesday, David and Yolanda Foster revealed that they will be divorcing after four years of marriage and it turns out the latter's health crisis affected their relationship as a source reveals loopholes on the couple's marriage.
The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2012, almost a year after she tied the knot with David at a fairy tale wedding on Nov. 11, 2011, and since then, she has shared her struggles and hope for recovery to her fans.
While the couple tried to work things out, being both high on their careers and raising children from their previous marriages, it seemed too hard on both to keep their relationship fresh and sincere after Yolanda's diagnosis.
"Things really changed in their relationship as Yolanda got sick, and then when her health worsened. David travels all the time and they simply weren't spending any time together," a source tells People.
Earlier this year, Yolanda shared in her Bravo blog that she moved into an apartment with David and her son so she can somehow slowly get back to the person that she was before she was hit with the disease. David has obviously done his part to be a supportive husband but it wasn't enough to keep the couple together.
"They just grew apart and the intense stress over her [Yolanda] health and the disease was very hard on their marriage," the insider explains.
On Wednesday, Yolanda took to Twitter and revealed that her love and respect for David remains the same even after the split. "We've grown apart but my love & respect for @officialdavidfoster is still the same, he's been very good 2 me so pls don't judge our journey!" the reality star tweeted.
Meanwhile, Yolanda's co-stars have shared messages of love to their friend who is not only suffering from her disease but is now also suffering from a failed marriage.
Yolanda and David dated for five years before they got married. Yolanda has three children from her first marriage to Mohamed Hadid, while David has been married four times and is father to five daughters.
