NBA star Michael Jordan is famous for his outstanding legacy in the world of sports. He was an iconic player whose basketball legacy and investments in fashion via the Jordan brand have caused him to maintain a high level of relevance.

Amid his celebrity status, he is a father to five kids whom he shares with different partners. The first three are from his failed marriage with Juanita Vanoy.

He later added two kids to the family after marrying his second wife, Yvette Prieto. In 2019, his youngest child Jasmine, from his first ex-wife, made him a granddad.

Jasmine is currently married to former university basketball player Rakeem Christmas. Their son recently turned two, and both parents went to great lengths to celebrate their mini-me.
