NBA icon Michael Jordan, 60, enjoys vacation in Italy with wife Yvette Prieto and his twin daughters as they take boat trip in rare public appearance

NBA legend Michael Jordan has been spotted in Italy, enjoying a vacation with his wife Yvette Prieto and his twin daughters.

 

 

The 60-year-old, who won six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls between 1991 and 1998, is spending time with his family on the island of Sicily.

Jordan, sporting an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore watch worth around $40,000, was seen heading out to a luxury yacht alongside Yvette and their identical twin daughters Ysabel and Victoria.

Jordan’s feats on the court made him one of the most successful and recognisable athletes on the planet but these days the NBA icon keeps a low profile.

He and Yvette met in a Miami nightclub in 2008, and Jordan proposed to the Cuban-born model three years later. They married back in 2013 and a year later they welcomed their daughters, now nine.

Last month, MJ and Prieto, 44, headed out on a rare date night in Nashville to celebrate the start of the NASCAR Ally 400 race weekend.

Reports have emerged which claim MJ is selling his majority stake in the Charlotte Hornets

In recent weeks, Jordan has been in the headlines amid reports he is selling his majority stake in the Charlotte Hornets for an eye-watering $3BILLION, after 13 years as the owner of the NBA team.

Only recently, they picked Brandon Miller as No 2 overall in the 2023 Draft, and while MJ is said to be keen to relinquish overall control, he is reported to be keeping a minority stake in the team.

Jordan purchased a minority stake the Hornets back in 2006, but became the majority owner of the team in 2010.

Jordan’s tenure with the Hornets has been fraught with poor results, unlucky deals, and bad management – including by Jordan himself.
