Jordan and Yvette Prieto, a Cuban-American former model, dated for a number of years before he proposed in December 2011 and they wed in April 2013.

Word of Jordan’s wife’s pregnancy first surfaced last November.

The six-time NBA champion and his first wife, Juanita, divorced in 2006 after 17 years. They have three grown children in Jeffrey (25), Marcus (23) and Jasmine (21).

 

Michael Jordan retired from basketball in 1993, 1998 and finally for good 2003, becoming majority owner of the struggling Charlotte Bobcats in 2010.

The athlete, 50, has relocated to Florida with Yvette, 35, when he’s not running the team. The couple wed at his lavish estate in the Sunshine State.

Congratulations to the family on their adorable new arrivals!
