Michael Jordan’s wife Yvette Prieto gave birth to the GOAT’s fourth and fifth kids in February, 2014. After having three older kids with his first wife, Yvette gave birth to Ysabel and Victoria Jordan to round out the Jordan starting 5. In one of those “this is gonna make you feel old,” moments, MJ became a grandfather in 2019. His elder daughter, Jasmine, had a son with Rakeen Christmas (a professional basketball player in Turkey). Kid has pretty sick lineage!

Original Post 09/2008
Michael Jordan began dating Yvette Prieto in July, 2008. Prieto is a 31 year old Cuban American model, who previously dated Julio Iglesias Jr. We should also note, that despite internet rumors, they did not get married in December, 2008, and were not expecting a child in February, 2009. As of April, 2013, the couple has filed for a marriage license and the expectation is that they will be married any day.
Late 2008, Jordan and Prieto bought a 5,500 square foot home in suburban Miami. They took out a 30 year mortgage worth $196,000. It’s believed that they took out this mortgage as a way to rebuild Prieto’s credit after she filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2002.
SIDE NOTE RANT: You want to know why everyone hates bloggers? It’s because of guys like Kevin Allen at the Chicago Sun Times. Allen, who I’m sure is a guy that would dispute the fact that he’s nothing more than a blogger, not only posted the address of their new house, but a friggin google map to the place. We’ve been accused of crossing the boundaries of newsworthiness to intrusiveness, but that is a whole new level of invasion. Even we think that’s messed up.
