Everyone certainly knows Michael Jeffrey Jordan by his name, as he is one of the greatest basketball players still alive and healthy as ever.
He is also known by his initials MJ, and he is an American businessman and former professional basketball player. He was born on February 17, 1963 (age 60 years), in Cumberland Hospital.
Aside from having a successful business and long-lasting fame and popularity, he is noted to have been involved in one of the biggest divorce cases in America when he divorces his wife Juanita Vanoy in 2006.
Who is Michael Jordan ex-wife Juanita Vanoy?
The love story between Micheal Jordan and his first-ever wife Juanita Vamoy began when they met for the first time at a Chicago Bennigan’s restaurant in 1984 and were introduced to each other by a common friend.
They met for the second time at a party given by their friend a few weeks after they were introduced. Juanita Vanoy was born in 1959, and is from the Southside of Chicago and was working as a model when she met the basketball superstar Michael Jordan.
According to sources, Michael Jordan’s ex-wife Juanita Vanoy is a few years older than her ex-husband when the two met in Chicago, Illinois.
The couple got married in 1989 and after several years of togetherness and three lovely kids, Marcus Jordan, Jasmine M. Jordan, and Jeffrey Michael Jordan they decided to get a divorce which was finalized in 2006.
According to sources, Jordan’s gambling addiction and cheating ways led to their divorce and he had to pay his former wife (Juanita Jordan) a then-record $168 million dollars. Michael Jordan and Juanita Vanoy’s divorce was a very extensively covered topic back in 2006. The divorce settlement of $168 million remains one of the biggest in American history.
Juanita is doing well with her settlements and after her separation from Jordan, she moved to Kingsbury Estates in Chicago with her three kids. Currently, she bought a mansion worth $4.7 million in 2007. Vanoy now lives a modest life learning yoga, traveling to her favorite places, and collecting art.
