Date of birth: November 18, 1988

Jeffrey Michael Jordan is Juanita’s oldest son. The woman was in the fifth month of her pregnancy with Jeffrey when she had to hire a lawyer, who needed to make her baby father Michael Jordan fulfill his parenthood duties. The boy’s parents were still unmarried when he entered this world. They wedded a little later, at 3.30 am in the cozy church in Las Vegas.

Jeffrey Jordan was a high school pupil when his parents divorced. But they had joint custody, so Michael didn’t disappear from the life of Jeffrey and his siblings.

In his youth, Mr. Jordan Jr. played basketball, and everybody was sure, he would follow his father’s pace. He was one of the best players at Loyola Academy, from where he graduated in 2007. After that, he entered the University of Illinois, where he studied psychology and played for the basketball team “Fighting Illini”. He attracted high media attention as an aspiring basketball player. Some of his matches were watched by millions of people on TV.

In spite of massive initial success, Jeffrey retired from basketball in 2012. He escaped from the public attention and worked quietly as a Nike manager.

In 2018 he proposed to a long-term girlfriend Radina Aneva, a computer science specialist. They wedded in May 2019. His wife is of Bulgarian ancestry.

Jeffrey has warm relationships with his younger full siblings, Marcus and Jasmine. He has two half-sisters, Victoria and Ysabel, from his father’s side.

Date of birth: December 24, 1990

Juanita was blessed with another cute healthy boy in 1990 – Marcus James Jordan. The boy adores his mother and often posts pictures with her.

Like his father and older brother, he played basketball for the university team (he studied at the University of Central Florida). Although Marcus was an aspiring young player and had a chance to become a renowned basketball star, he decided to quit basketball and chose another career way. But let’s start from the very beginning.

He is the second child in the family of the sports celebrity Michael Jordan and an office worker, Juanita Vanoy. He was born a year after the official registration of their marriage. The boy grew up with his parents and siblings in Highland Park, IL.

Since the earliest years basketball had been an inseparable part of his life. He practiced this game in the company of his father and brother. Later he continued to play for the Loyola Academy team (he studied there). After that, the boy transferred to Whitney Young High School and joined basketball players there. In 2009 he led his team to the victory in the championship.

After graduation from school, he entered the University of Central Florida. He played college basketball, but in 2012 decided to quit this kind of sport. But he continued to get an education at the University. Since 2016 Marcus is an owner of the shoe shop “Trophy Room”.

Date of birth: December 7, 1992

Jasmine Mickael Jordan loves his father to death, and she tells, she had never been blinded by his money or fame. “For me, he was just a man, who worked. And that was normal”, she confessed once in her interview.

Like other Michael’s kids, she is closely connected with basketball. Being an enthusiastic player in her young years, now she is a sports marketer and helps her father to develop his brand.

Recently, Jasmine tied a knot with an NBA player (no wonder, isn’t it?) Rakeem Christmas. First, they met in a college and were just friends, but then Rakeem confessed, he has some feelings for Jasmine. They dated for three years till Mr. Christmas dared to propose her. She said, “Yes!”, and they got married legally. In April 2019 Jasmine welcomed a son Rakeem Jr, thus having made Juanita and Michael Jordan a grandmother and grandfather.

Mrs. Jordan-Christmas is closely-knitted with her mom. She never gets tired to thank her for everything she does for Jasmine and her baby boy.

Bio

Juanita Vanoy gained wide popularity as a wife of a big sports star. During seventeen years she was married to Michael Jordan, gave birth to his three kids and then filed for divorce, which cost Mr. Jordan $168 million. Their separation was immediately ranked as the most expensive in the world. Women all over the world supported Juanita – no wonder because the reason for the marriage dissolution was Michael’s rumored infidelity. The interest to beautiful and determined lady Juanita Vanoy and her fate was becoming bigger and bigger.

She was born in the family of John and Dorothy Vanoy on June 13, 1959. Her father is still alive, he is a military veteran, while her mother has been in a better place since 2005. She was the fifth of six daughters in the family. Juanita comes from the South Side of Chicago. Michael’s ex-wife comes from a simple poor family, and as her friends say, she has never forgotten, where she comes from.

Juanita met Michael at one of Chicago restaurants in 1985. They dated for several years, and Jordan even proposed her, but after that their relationships appeared in a slow phase. In early 1988 Juanita got pregnant. It took her several years to convince Michael to marry her and to take responsibility for his baby. They say, she even hired a lawyer and made Michael do a paternity test. In September 1989 they wedded and then gave birth to two other kids (in addition to their first one, who was born in 1988).

Juanita was an office worker when she met Michael. After their wedding, she left the job and focused her mind on charity. In 2002 she filed for divorce for the first time, but both managed to reconcile. In 2006 they decided to separate again, and this time both were very serious about their decision.

Nowadays Juanita Vanoy stays out of the limelight. She resides in Chicago, IL. The woman spends a lot of time with her kids and granddaughter.
