Michael Jordan is not known for his physical attractiveness, he has always been popular with women. Part of this attraction is due to his financial status, as he has had relationships with women from ancient professions or elite escorts. But this figure has only had two wives who have been publicly known.
Jordan and his first wife
He began dating his first wife, model Juanita Vanoy, in 1985 after they were introduced by a mutual acquaintance. After being in a relationship for a long period of time, they had a son named Jeffrey in 1988, which led to their marriage in 1989. The couple also had two more children, Marcus in 1990 and Jasmine in 1992.
Although it seemed like they had a happy family life, not everything was perfect behind the doors of their home. Michael’s affairs and his gambling addiction began to affect his marriage. The first time there was talk of divorce was in 2002, when Juanita couldn’t take it anymore and filed for divorce. However, they managed to reach an agreement and remained married for a few more years. They finally divorced in 2006, and Michael paid his ex-wife $168 million in divorce settlement, in addition to giving her an 8,000-square-foot penthouse.
A new love
Michael Jordan’s second official wife is the Cuban model Yvette Prieto. They met in a nightclub when she was 29 and he was 45. The pre-wedding relationship lasted for about 4 years, and Michael eventually proposed to Yvette. They married in 2013 in Florida in a ceremony that cost more than $10 million and was attended by numerous celebrities.
Just over six months after the wedding, Yvette and Michael welcomed twins Victoria and Isabel. Curiously, not many details have been revealed about the girls and their photos are not published on social media by their parents. It is also rumored that the twins have no contact with their half-siblings.
The love affairs of Michael Jordan
In addition to his official wives, Michael Jordan has had several well-known affairs that have been widely reported. His first love was in high school, where he received a letter with a touching poem. He is credited with a tumultuous romance with elite escort Ashley Dupre. It was also rumored that he had a relationship with Nicole, the ex-wife of actor Eddie Murphy.
Many women have attempted to take financial advantage of Michael, claiming to be romantically involved with him. Two situations in particular have been made public. The first involved Carla Knafel, who accused Michael of reneging on an agreement in which she promised him $5 million in exchange for her silence about their relationship. However, she only paid him $250,000. Additionally, she claimed that he was the father of her child, but a DNA test proved otherwise and her claims were rejected.
The second situation occurred in 2013, when a flight attendant named Pamela Smith sued Michael Jordan. She claimed to have had sexual relations with him in 1995 and to have become pregnant. Pamela wanted Michael to recognize his son and provide adequate financial support. However, the DNA test again showed that the child was not Michael’s, but her ex-husband’s. Pamela had to bear all the legal expenses related to the case.
