HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

The second photo also showed off the mother-son bond between Jasmine and Rakeem, with the pair facing away from the camera, although the 28-year-old could be seen kissing her son on the cheek. The post was captioned:

"My Heart in Human Form. Thank You for picking Me to be Your Mother."

Jasmine's fiancé, Christmas, also shared similar photos taken at Rakeem's second birthday on his own Instagram page as he wished the NBA icon's daughter a happy Mother's Day.

Christmas' posts showed a different angle of the birthday photos, which featured Jasmine's loving smile as she held her son while wearing a fun printed T-shirt from Rakeem's birthday.

FROM FRIENDS TO LOVERS

Jasmine and Christmas welcomed their son on May 4, 2019, just under a year after they announced their engagement. Christmas proposed to Jasmine in June 2018.

Although the pair both attended Syracuse University where Christmas played basketball, their love story truly began after graduation. The former NBA player was Jasmine's first friend in college but only realized he had feelings for her after college.

FIRST-TIME GRANDFATHER

The birth of Jasmine and Christmas' son further solidified their relationship as they started their family of three. Rakeem's birth also marked a great moment for Jasmine's father, Jordan, who became a grandfather for the first time.

Jordan, a six-time NBA championship-winner known for his tough, go-getter mentality on the court, was completely smitten over his grandson who brought out his softer side.

JORDAN'S FAMILY TREE

While Jordan is a first-time grandfather, he already has experience with kids as a father-of-five. The sports star has identical twin daughters Victoria and Ysabel with his current wife, Yvette Prieto, while he shares his older kids with his first wife.

The former Chicago Bulls player was married to Juanita Vanoy for 17 years between 1989 and 2006. Together they welcomed three children, sons Jeffrey and Marcus, and daughter, Jasmine.
