Refusing To Accept The Fact
Juanita Vanoy and Michael Jordan married in 1989. 1988 brought them Jeffrey Michael Jordan. Michael doubted he was the father. In 1988, Juanita told attorney Michael Minton she was pregnant, and never married, and Michael Jordan was the father. She assumed a lawyer was needed to elicit Michael’s attention, cooperation, or answer. Michael “confirmed paternity within months,” and Jeffrey attended their Las Vegas wedding. The couple had Marcus in 1990. 1992: Jasmine was born.
Not surprisingly, all three kids adore sports. Like their dad, Jeffrey and Marcus played college basketball. Jeffrey played for Illinois; Marcus for UCF. Neither turned pro. Jasmine has her mother’s business savvy. She studied sports management at Syracuse University and now works for Nike Jordan Brand, making her parents proud.
