In an interview with PEOPLE in 2018, Hadid shared how she and Jingoli first met on her family farm in Pennsylvania.
"I made a love spiral and wrote down exactly everything that was important to me in a man and he magically just rang the doorbell at the farm," she said.
She also shared that they have similar life experiences bonding them together. "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," she said. "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."

In addition to his construction company, Jingoli is the founder of the nonprofit The F.A.R.M. Team, or the Facilitating Active Recovery Mission. The organization brings young people in recovery to work on Jingoli's family farm, Harmony Hollow, in order to build connections and forge a sense of responsibility. Jingoli also connects the people from F.A.R.M. to professionals in his network to help them find careers.
"It is less about the farming, and much more about the camaraderie and the sense of responsibility," Jingoli explained in a 2015 interview with PhillyVoice.com. "Responsibility for showing up on time, for being part of a team, for having others depend on you, for having other living things depending on you. ... The farm is simply one stop on a way to a career, whether with our company or other companies. I see this every day with young people working on the farm."
