Michael Jordan and his wife filed for divorce
Michael Jordan and his wife, Juanita, filed for divorce Friday after 17 years of marriage.”Michael and Juanita Jordan mutually and amicably decided to end their 17-year marriage,” the couple said in a statement issued through their lawyers. “A judgment for dissolution of their marriage was entered today. There will be no further statements.”
Juanita Jordan previously filed for divorce in January 2002 but withdrew her petition a month later when the couple announced they were attempting a reconciliation.
The couple met at a Chicago restaurant during his second season with the Bulls and were married Sept. 2, 1989, in Las Vegas. They have three children: Jeffrey, 18, Marcus, 16, and Jasmine, 14.
