You don’t have to enjoy basketball to enjoy The Last Dance. ESPN 10-part documentary revolves around basketball legend Michael Jordan and the 1997 to 1998 Chicago Bulls of the season, which offers an intimate look at MJ’s impressive career. Unfortunately, if you want to learn more about your personal life, you may be disappointed. Michael does not meet with his wife of seven years, Yvette Prieto, until the year 2008, which was a decade after Michael led the Bulls to six NBA championships and then retired from the team. It may not be the focus of The Last Dancebut the story of how Michael and Yvette met is definitely worth knowing.
Michael and his first wife, Juanita Vanoy, split in 2006 after 17 years of marriage. Two years later, he met his second wife, Cuban model and Miami native Yvette Prieto. According to The people, the couple met in a Miami night clubwhere Michael was apparently injured. After three years of dating, Michael popped the question in December, during the holidays, and in April of 2013, he and Yvette tied the knot in front of 300 guests at Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, FL.
Seven months after walking down the aisle, the newlyweds announced that they were waiting forand in less than three months, Yvette gave birth to identical twin daughters, who they named Victoria and Ysabel. Since then, the very private couple has spent very little time in the public eye, and that didn’t even speak about their relationship or the one to the other with the press. However, on the rare occasions that do step out together, they always look sweet as heck. Here’s to hoping you continue to enjoy your privacy and make each other happy.
