Gossip: Michael Jordan
The former NBA superstar will soon marry for the second time.
Michael Jordan will soon marry for the second time. The former NBA superstar, 50, last week applied for a marriage license with Cuban-American model girlfriend Yvette Prieto, 34, in West Palm Beach, Fla., and they’ve reportedly set a date for April 27. The pair have been dating since 2008, shortly after Jordan and his first wife, Juanita, divorced. The Charlotte Bobcats owner will be hoping his second marriage goes better than his first; his divorce settlement reportedly cost him a then-record $150 million.
