Michael Jordan’s Kids
Michael Jordan is the father of five children. Three of his kids are from his former marriage with Juanita Vanoy. Their names are Jeffrey, Marcus, and Jasmine. Michael and his first wife divorced in 2006. Later on, he married his second wife, Yvette Prieto, a model. Yvette is a Cuban-American.
The duo tied the knot 6 years later in 2013 after the first meeting in 2007 in a Miami nightclub. Their lavish wedding ceremony was held at Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the Sea and then had its reception at Bear Club in Florida. The wedding cost them a whopping $10 million. Though that just plays money for the former NBA player who has a net worth of $2.1 billion. Michael and his new wife were then blessed with identical twin girls named Victoria and Ysabel.

On one such occasion, Marcus had to ring his mom and tell her that his dad was picking on him. Michael treated his kids just like he treated any other basketball player when he played with them. According to Marcus, everything had to be earned. He was a freshman in high school at the time of a hilarious phone call.

Marcus pursued the sport to college in the University of Central Florida. His brother joined him on the UCF basketball team later on. When playing in college, Marcus caused his University to get sued by Adidas. This happened because Marcus decided to wear Nike Air Jordans to a game instead of Adidas.
His college had to pay millions of dollars to Adidas for breach of contract. Marcus then later quit the sport in August 2012 despite being an outstanding player. He had scored 1,100 points for his team by the time he left. He graduated from college with a degree in hospitality management. Currently, Marcus runs his own online shop where he sells fashion wear based on the Jordan brand. His business is named Trophy Room.
