Michael Jordan Divorces Juanita
Basketball star Michael Jordan and wife Juanita have divorced after a seventeen year long marriage. Divorce documents were filed at the Lake County Circuit Court, where according to the couple: “irreconcilable differences have caused an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.” In a statement through their lawyers, the estranged couple said: “A judgment for dissolution of their marriage was entered today. There will be no further statements.”
Earlier in January 2002, Juanita Jordan had filed for divorce only to withdraw after a month after going in reconciliation mode with Michael. The marriage that took place on September 2, 1989 in Las Vegas saw the couple blessed with three children – Jeffrey (18), Marcus (16), and Jasmine (14). The couple has been living separately since February 2006 with Michael living in Chicago, while Juanita living in Highland Park, Illinois.
The couple has resolved to finalize the issue most amicably without creating any controversy or public spat.
