This will be Jordan's second marriage. The Charlotte Bobcats owner and six-time NBA champion divorced his wife of 17 years, Juanita Vanoy in 2006. The couple have three children.

Juanita was reportedly granted a $168 million divorce settlement, one of the largest publicly recorded celebrity settlements in history at that time.
