Yolanda Hadid is happy to be alive.

The 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' actress has had to go through a lot since she developed Lyme disease. Again and again she has to struggle with the bacterial infection that is transmitted by ticks - but she still looks to the future with confidence. Yolanda said in an interview with the New York Post: "I'm great. I'm happy to be here and I'm happy to be alive." It is particularly difficult for her that the illness cannot be seen: "You look normal, but you die inside. People find it difficult to understand."

After the separation from husband David Foster, Yolanda is not yet ready for a new love. She told Entertainment Tonight a while ago, "I'm still a little shy. I'm not ready yet. I just enjoy life and that I'm fine. Being able to work again. I enjoy spending time with my children. Life is so great right now. Everything is good. "
