Meet Yvette Prieto, the current girlfriend of NBA legend Michael Jordan. Yvette is a 30 year old, Cuba-born, Miami-raised model working at her father’s company. Prieto is a very famous fashion model in her country. She started out doing some small-time commercials before hitting on to the bikini calendars and other beach photo shoots.
Before dating Jordan, Yvette was romantically involved with Julio Iglesias Jr, the son of famed Spanish singer Julio Iglesias, in 2001. Before dating Yvette, Jordan was married to Juanita Vanoy for seventeen years before their divorce was finalized in 2006.
Their relationship was first reported last summer in March 2008 when they were seen having dinner together at Michael’s Genuine Food and Drink. According to several reports,they are planning on getting married.
Recently, Yvette and Michael bought a house in sub-urban Miami for $281,000. Jordan and Prieto took out a $196,000, 30-year mortgage on the house, according to public records. Speculation is, the couple took out the $196,000 mortgage because Prieto filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2002. Peep the photo below of the house the couple bought in Miami.
Built in 1996, the couple’s new house has three bedrooms and two baths (according to public records) and sits on a 0.13-acre (5,560-square-foot) lot, according to public records. According to public records, the house measures around 2,517 square feet.
Here are some more pictures of Yvette and Michael with a group of friends celebrating Yvette`s birthday at a restaurant in Miami, FL.
Here are some more pictures of singer Tyrese, Michael , and Yvette visiting the Grand Gala Suite at the 135th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on May 2, 2009 in Louisville, Kentucky.
Prior to dating Yvette and while married to ex-wife Juanita, there were previous rumors of Jordan having affairs with Lisa Micelli and Karla Knafel.
According to several reports, Karla began her affair with Michael Jordan in December 1989. She was a singer in a band that performed in a hotel in Indianapolis, Indiana. NBA referee Eddie Rush told Karla that he knew Michael Jordan and that he was in town to play the Indiana Pacers. Rush called Jordan and Karla and Michael talked on the phone. Knafel became pregnant during the affair and she claims that Jordan “demanded that she abort the baby”. She refused.
Peep the photo below of a younger Jordan and Karla.
Fast forward all the way to 2002, Knafel filed a $5 million lawsuit against Jordan saying that he promised to pay her in hush money about the affair. Knafel also filed a paternity test.Knafel and Jordan fought it out in court. In December 2002, Jordan won the court decision because he claimed that Knafel was trying to extort money from him and DNA test results proved Jordan was not the father.
Here is a 2002 photo below of a much older Karla and Jordan during the time they were fighting it out in court.
Now meet Lisa Miceli, another woman who filed 3 paternity suits against Jordan, which again proved that he was not the father of her 4 year old child at the time.
Peep the the 2008 photo of Lisa during an injuction hearing for her to stay away from Jordan.
After divorcing ex-wife Juanita and before meeting Yvette Prieto, Jordan was photo’d out at a club getting his “grind on” with 2 women. Peep the photo below!
Indian Chick! A black man has to be desperate to want yo ass cuz he has to go deep in south miami to the reservation just to get to yo azz! White man damn sho don’t want you!
She’s Cuban–look out Michael! the whole damn family will be moving in soon. LOL!
I’m surprised that a man with such an enormous ego and money would buy a tired-ass house in west miami. My house on the intercoastal looks waaay better than that crap.Shes “blowing” him just to live in that sh#t! I wouldn’t take anybody to that house and tell them that I live there with Michael Jordan. LOL!!
We’ll I really feel that Yvett is using him as her credit repair. Jordan is 47 and she is 30 after awhile his dick going to stop working, he’s not going to be able to keep up. She may just have his baby for insurance and assurance purposes but it’s not love, it’s what can blue do for you! It looks like both of them are broke but I am pretty sure his ex-wife is loving the alimony about now! He probably has spiders crawling out of his dick!
eu daria td pra ta no lugar dela eu seria a mulher mais feliz do mundo sera que um dia eu vou consegui
Thank you for supporting me deceide about the most beneficial dating site!
What the freak is up with all the stuck up black women in here thinking they are all that and more? who do they think they are goddesses? I think not! if I were a black man I wouldnt want to be with one either..in fact I dated a black women for almost a year last year…handled and controlled her just fine but I got tired of her antics and attitude and dealing with it all the time…its not true at all what they say that once you go black you never go back! because I am going back and never returning. black women are miserable creatures.
Juanita isn’t a golddigger? Who you kidding! She is as digging as an earthworm! All these women after Michael’s money and fame for themselves. If he was a custodian at the local school, you think any of these women would give him the time of day? C’mon people! The rich and famous celebs/athletes will always have groupies because those women are all about gettin rich and moving up the social order through the men they meet and bed. We aren’t talking about Carly Forina here or some other woman that earns her money. THAT is a woman to have respect for, not some highly paid ‘ho like Juanita. What did she do other than spreading her legs for Michael and conning him into marriage once she was pregnant, then stand by until she could make her marital claim? The only thing that is crazy is these celebs/athletes marry these women and don’t wrap to protect from paternity suits.
He should, however, be ashamed of himself — he is too damn old to be out here acting a fool. It’s a shame — midlife crisis. Nothing sadder than the old man at the club!!! Always respect his game, but as a man, he’s pathetic!
MJ is a male whore. Are we supposed to believe that now he has his “trophy” chick (she is NOTHING special, in my opinion, however) he’s done playing? Hell no! He has just found a docile woman who will let him do what he pleases as long as she is taken care of. So good– they’re both happy. He can play and she can go shopping!
Black women deserve men which will love them, and will be faithful to them. As I see it. These women can have him, and others like him. We know that this is not the cream of the crop. His inability to have healthy nurturing relationships indicates deeper issues/ troubles.
Oh! and one more thing…I really feel for any young athlete entering the NBA, NFL, MLB, or any professional sports club single. I told my girlfriend of 14 months that I wouldn’t enter any ball club single. I know people can change, but at that point, any woman is a potential gold-digger/groupie.
It’s a situation where a prenumptial agreement is manditory. But, what can you do? Hopefully you have a childhood sweetheart you REALLY trust.
To Shananay: What makes you think that non-black women are the “epitome of beauty and grace”? To each to one’s own. We can agree to disagree on that one.
I’m just going to keep it real….A person who REALLY knows, loves, and respects his/her culture and its history would NEVER want to LEAVE his/her culture.
I’m with Aikido. If you love your mother at all, why wouldn’t you what a woman similar to the likes of her. But at the same time, that doesn’t mean that black women can’t also be gold-diggers. What’s the difference between a gold-digger and a groupie? I guess one’s white and the others black.
You should be able to date anybody you want.Im so tired of this white and black shit!It doesnt matter to me if the person is green. Im a
black women. I dont care when i see a white women with a black men.I know white girls that date black men and they get treated so badly that they go back to there own race and leave the mix kids with them.some black men aint shit and when they have money they think they are gods.MJ not going to marry that young ass girl hes just having some fun!
There was a time when black men with money had to have a light-skinned black woman on their arm. But now they’ve dropped black women altogether for white and anything else.
Tiger Woods married the whitest white girl on the planet and he still wasn’t satisfied. I hope these non-black women take every penny away from these self-hating nigros. How do they expect a white woman to accept their blackness when they themselves don’t fully accept it?
What the hell is Michael Jordon on these days?? crack, crack is whhack Michael, drop the pasty dried up powder and get back with the Honey Brown Sugar. You’re soo much better than that trash you’re tramping around with. Thats wayyyy beneath you.
To some black men, white women, Asian women, Hispanic women are superior to black woman. To them, these women are the epitome of beauty, grace and symbolize “I made it!”. Note I said “some”, so get over yourselves and bull shit self-righteousness. Work on your bodies, minds and spirit, love yourself first and the rest will fall into place.
Wow, Jeannie Tee, first of all, if you’re Native American, so you’re only one shade off from being what White America consider black anyway. Secondly, I wonder what type of black guys you hang out with that says a black woman pussy is stank…especially when he came from one. Just in case you didn’t know. Any color pussy can stink if you don’t wash it. And lastly, the wrong black dick can stink too, and it can also KILL! Any man that is going up in several women at a time with no protection is just nasty, so as your wife or potential wife, don’t bring that home to me. I don’t care if it’s Michael Jordan or Michael Jackson.
That’s what your concern should be. Don’t be fooled chick…men will say anything to get in your azz, and especially Black men. They also have the whole country thinking that Black women are loud and assertive, but that’s not the case either. It’s about being strong and not putting up with bullshit! Black women have no choice but to be strong and forceful. It was forced upon them. For the most part..black women are not docile. Can’t afford to be. It just amazes me that non black women really think that black women are jealous because a black man with a little money wants to date outside of his race. The fist thing a so call successful black man says out of his mouth is how strong and beautiful his mother is, and then he turns right around and says black women are too loud and boisterous. So what he’s really saying is he loves a strong black women to stay on his ass and make sure he becomes this great man, but after he becomes great, then he wants a docile woman he can walk all over and do whatever he feels. So what does he do….he snatches up a white women because he knows he can do anything he wants at any given time and as long as he gives her access to one of his bank accounts, Mercedes, and endless shopping spree’s,
she’s good. If there was no NBA or NFL, their asses would still be dating the girls from their neighborhood and surrounding communities.
Plus, piece of mind and happiness should be priceless for any woman. Why would any woman compromise that for a dollar…even white women. Counseling my azz…A husband sleeping around and impregnating different women….No Thank You…I consider my life to be more valuable than that, and all the Michael Jordan money in the world can’t buy a clean bill of health.
Please! Leave this man to do what he wants, nobody really knows what happened in his marriage with Juanita, so lets not speculate things, this man wanna live “La vida loca” now, what’s wrong with that? who can judge him?..come on???
inter racial relationships arent a disease you hatin ass heffers! Im native american and ive always been attracted to black men. ppl just have thier preferences. Maybe yall should look at your own selves cuz apparently ur not doin somethin right! lmao.
P.S. most black men i know say that black womens pussies stank.FYI those are not MY words but theirs.
I’m so sick of this. Black men with anything, as long as it is not black. It makes me sick to my stomach. I don’t have a problem with people loving each other. But, the epidemic in place at the moment with black men coupled with non blacks is really something else. MJ marrying 30 year. Juanita was after his money. What do you think this fresh out of bankruptcy chick is on. Difference, Mj want to prance around and pose for pics with this one. SICK!!!
Jordan still makin money… u see all those kicks that have been made since the divorce? pretty much hella good retros. juanita, u lost big time wen u divorced the number one man in basketball ever. I DONT CARE how much u got out of it.
MJ’s legacy is much bigger than you.
Good For Juanita – Wake up and quit hating! MJ is rich, he’s retired, he’s famous…the only thing missing was a young hottie and now he has one!
Probably the best $168 million he ever spent!
Micheal anything but a white women, damn get ready to loose half of your fortune….again.
Ok all the black women are jelouse:) Black men dream of white women cz they aint loude and crazy as black women.. The truth is none of the men like that attitude in your face,and acting crazy and wild… so MJ you got your wish,have fun and enjoy ur personal life with a normal woman..
MJ next deal is called POCLT and it might work. So his big earning days might be ahead of him.
BOOOOOOOOO! MICHAEL JORDAN! BOOOOOOOO!
YOU TRIPPED! BOOOOOOOOOOOO! YOU TRIPPED!
Oh, I thought Yvette was one of MJ’s children. Speaking of children, I wonder how confused the real MJ children are?
This is amazing!! So many women in here yelling how bad Mike is and how stupid he is, while expressing how smart his wife is. And then they put down his new girlfriend. Really? What’s the difference? Juanita got pregnant, got married, got divorced and got paid. That’s it. She is not to be supported for this and this does not make her smart. This is not much of an accomplishment. She did the same thing women have done for years. Open legs lead to fat pockets. But anyway, if Mike is happy, let him be.
And secondly, I get so tired of hearing how Juanita was there for him and how she stuck by him. I seriously doubt anyone on this site knows either of them and can not come close to making a that generalization. She may have made his life a living hell at home. I’m not saying she did, but one can’t just make her out to be the victim based on perception. It’s funny, he cheated it’s his fault. If she would have cheated on him, (or it came out that she did) the same women on here would be stating it was still Mike’s fault for not giving her what she needed. Well, I guess all she $168M.
THIS GIRL IS JUST A LITTLE WHORE LOOKING FOR HIS MONEY. NO WONDER HE LEFT HIS WIFE. HE JUST COULDN’T RESIST HOT STUFF NO MO! MICHAEL IS REALLY A DUMBASS!!. MAYBE IT AIN’T SHIT TO MIKE 168 MILLION. BUT IF I WAS JUANITA I WOULD HAVE KICKED HIS ASS OUT SO FAST FOR 168 MILLION HE WOULDN’T HAVE KNOWN WHAT HIT HIM!!
Wow Juanita is not a smart woman at all! 168 million ain’t shit to Mike, he has over 800 million in the bank and still gets mad money everytime you buy a pair of Jordan’s. She should stayed with him cause now she doesn’t have to worry about him cheating cause he is done playing. What a dumbass lol.
Look at that black azz negro. It takes the blackest dude on the planet to want a white chic. Mike jordon is a self hater.
MICHAEL JORDAN PUTS SHAME TO ALL MEN LIKE HIM. HE GO AND MARRY A WONDERFUL WOMAN WHO STOOD BY HIS SIDE FOR YEARS HAD HIS CHILDREN JUST TO SLEEP BEHIND THESE OTHER GOLD DIGGIN WOMEN HE HAS SLEPT WITH. THEY GOT ANGRY WHEN HE DIDN’T LEAVE HER AND TOLD ALL, WANTED MONEY IN RETURN. HHHHHMMMM SOUNDS LIKE CHA CHING! TO ME
THEN ONE AFTER ANOTHER HE DROWNS HIMSELF INTO A NEVER ENDING LIFE OF BEING USED WHY?
HIS CHILDREN WILL FOREVER REMEMBER THIS AND WHEN THEY’RE ADULT I WONDER WHAT THEY WILL SAY TO HIM. I WONDER HOW THEY WILL TREAT HIM. AFTER LEARNING HOW MY FATHER TREATED MY MOTHER THIS SAME BEHAVOIR OF CHEATING WITH GOLD DIGGING WOMEN I DON’T HATE HIM, BUT HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR HIS PATHETIC LIFE AS A LONER RIGHT NOW, BEING TAKEN FOR ALL AFTER HE BECAME DISABLED. GOOD FOR HIM NOW HE CAN SUFFER THE PUNISHMENT MY MOTHER DID I PRAY FOR HIM, BUT NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT, IT’S HIS BED TO SLEEP IN.
I GUESS AFTER A CERTAIN AGE OF GETTING ALL THAT ATTENTION ON THE ROAD MEN WANT MORE. WELL LADIES AS YOU SEE IF YOU ARE MARRIED TO ONE OF THESE THINGS AND THEY HAPPEN TO BE BLACK RACE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE IT ALL TOGETHER BECAUSE HE WILL TAKE OFF. MY PREF BLACK LADIES IS ANOTHER. I MADE THE CHOICE NOT TO GET MYSELF INTO A RECKLESS RELATIONSHIP WITH MEN WHO NEVER HAD ANYTHING AND NOT USE TO ATTENTION. ESPECIALLY THE DARK ONES.
MY MAN AND I OF 20 YRS SO FAR AND GOING, I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE HAPPY. I AM NOT JUST SPEAKING FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE, MY FRIEND YVETTE HAS BEEN MARRIED FOR 30 YRS NOW. WE ALL HAVE A LITTLE CLUB OF WOMEN WHO DATE OTHER RACES. ALL HAPPY, FAITHFUL,HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS. WE HAVE OUR UPS AND DOWNS BUT FOR THE MOST ME BEING FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY I FOUND BLACK WOMEN LIKE ME IN THE US ARE NOT TOO HAPPY WITH THE BLACK MAN. WARNING BLACK LADIES PLEASE TRY IT YOU WON’T REGRET IT, AND THAT
MYTH ABOUT BLACK MEN HAVING IT ALL IS JUST WHAT IS IS A MYTH LOL.
Dummie! I guess I won’t be going to any Bobcats games. I’ll settle for the Panthers any day.
The respect I had for MJ has dropped tremendously. I believe a man should be a respectful man and know when someone is dupping him for his money, his this trash he is with now. He had a strong woman, I’m glad she got him for a grip of his cash. As a person MJ lacks insight, and moratily. Thats why he had his own dad killed. You are only completing what you have been told to MJ, climbing the ladder. Freakin’ Mason.
It seems Roscoe had hit the nail on the head. To add further (to what I’ve heard) Juanita was like a groupie herself. She had slept with a couple of player, I won’t name, but hit the Jackpot by getting pregnant by Michael. Due to the pressure from business ties and family it was decided that it was in his best interest to marry her. She had already had the son and was living in a condo in downtown Chicago. He had so much influence over the media that they would not print negative reports about him because he threaten to cut them off if they did. He was a main money maker for many media outlets in his time. Hence how could those affairs and possible children go unheard of for so many years. He was out in the public with these ladies. I just wish I would have met him and could have been Juanita. LOL. That’s right, I said it.
Sorry, but mike is a fool to marry anyone again. Yvette is not all that and mike isn’t either. He may have the money, but he will get messed up because he has had jungle fever all the time. Futhermore money isn’t everythang when it comes to being happy. He is not happy, he is known as being cheap when it comes to buying women especially in chicago and he is not that much of a good man. He just happens to be a black man with talent, money but no swagger. Most black men only deal with white women because they can’t handle the black women they come in contact with!!! And most white women only deal with black men because they are gold diggers!!! because if the black man did not have the money they would not have nothing to do with them. MJ is such a fool and she will take him to the cleaners with the money!!
Mike got married in the first place because Juanita got was pregnant. They had actually broken up BECAUSE Mike felt like she was after him for his money. She later informed him she was pg. There was a lot of pressure on him from family and business interests to “do the right thing” and so he married her. I’m surprised it lasted as long as it did.
MJ and his ex wife never looked good together. She always looked like his older sister and you could tell they were miserable. Good move!
don’t hate on Michael Jordan you WILL go to hell.
Juanita has done wonderful for herself – her financial future is secure, she has something to pass down to her children, and she has a gorgeous boyfriend –
and since she was no “gold digger”, obviously happiness and peace of mind meant more to her than holding on to a cheatin’ husband just to get more money – higher standards prevailed.
Good for her!
What some of you failed to realize is that mj didn’t stop earning money after the divorce. In fact he is now worth $550m. Juanita was stupid for letting that divorce happened. A white woman would have said “no we are going to counseling”. Now this girl is going to marry mj and have kids with him. She and her feature kids are going to inherit all that money one day.
Wow Yvette is beautiful! Go mj!
Mike… she ain’t got shit on Juanita. Tracee, they aren’t better ball players because Juanita wouldn’t let him push them as children. They have the talent and the genetics, but they never developed the drive and determination that comes with knowing what your going to do with your life from day one because someone pushed you.
It took 3 paternity test before that woman would go away! now she is trying to figure-out who in the hell fathered that “black” baby of hers. LOL! Michael got the Puzzy and the last laugh.
He needs to go somewhere and spend time with his sons,if he had, maybe they would be better basketablall players.
His former wife Juanita is the baller here! She made out HUGE because she was his WIFE when Mike was in his prime (in all areas), and all eyes were on her. She did well staying with him despite the “allegations” and “rumors” of him being unfaithful. Resources reported she banked 168 MILLION from the divorce (way more than Strahan’s former wife), so who’s the baller! I give Michael Jordan much props for being a FANTASTIC basketball player, but his game is long over and he looks like a washed up $2.00 pimp from the 70’s! Meanwhile, I can only imagine Juanita is somewhere laughing her head off every time she sees him in the media still trying to hold onto a smidget of his youth. Juanita beat him at his own game. When will black men learn that they will never get over on black women? They may have TEMPORARY, BRIEF moments of having fun in the sun – but the BLACK WOMAN will always receive her just reward for gracefully tolerating his nonsense!
Actually SHE divorced him and tried YEARS before but he did not want to give up half..
In the end-she made a wise decision-she looks better and her man is gorgeous!!! and she got something like 70 mil..she is a smart woman!!!
now she does not have to worry herself w/MJ’s cheating, she can ENJOY life.. smart woman!!!
I think Michael made the right decision. Cut the ‘dead weight wife’ and get on with living. Life is short!
I see why Michael Jordan got a divorce. LOL
