Michael Jordan may have been able to put that recent paternity suit filed by Pamela Smith behind him for now (Pamela dismissed the suit), and now the NBA legend can focus on his upcoming nuptials. Jordan is set to marry fiancée and Cuban-American model Yvette Prieto next month, and according to reports, the basketball star is trying his hardest to make sure the big day is also a private one. And these days, it’s not easy to keep your wedding a private occasion when you are a celebrity, but apparently Michael and Yvette are attempting to do just that by limiting what their wedding guests can bring to the wedding and asking them to commit to not talking to the press.
The Chicago-Sun Times reports:
The Jordan-Prieto invitation for their April 27 black-tie celebration in Palm Beach, Fla., also included an instruction card telling guests not to share any details, plus a request not to talk to the press — or family members or friends, who just might blab to the media.
Guests also were told to leave at home all cameras and cellphones, lest they be used for taking photos.
In addition to Jordan’s attempt to keep his wedding guests quiet, the retired basketball player is also attempting to keep his fortune in the event that things don’t work out with his current wife to be. Reports claim the basketball legend has managed to get Yvette to agree to a pre-nup that claims she will only get $1 million for every year they were married. And if Yvette manages to stay married to Jordan for ten years, the amount goes up to $5 million a year. This is a pretty mild payout considering that his first wife Juanita walked away with $168 million after their divorce.
My gold digger radar just went off. Interesting how they all claim to be “models.” Please…
LOL. If she’s a gold digger, she’s a dumb one because she won’t walk away with much. Mike could dump her in three years, and she’d only walk away with $3 mil compared to Juanita’s $168 mil. Fail.
THIS.
Is all this necessary? LOL.
I guess. I’m not sure what he feels the needs to hide. I guess ole girl doesn’t care as long as she doesn’t have to work another day in her life.
I doubt they’ll be successful in trying to keep things quiet. No one ever is.
Oh please. It’s a wedding. Why be so secretive?!
That pre-nup reads like Mike knows he’s marrying a gold digger. LOL.
LOL right.
He learned by getting trapped by the biggest god digger of them all.
*Looks at the pre-nup specifics* Yeah, Juanita wins. She got half his fortune and doesn’t have to deal with his trifling a-s anymore to stay paid. Ha.
THIS!
Honey, Juanita was smart. She’s sitting pretty somewhere and probably has a new man too. LOL!!!
THE ALL MIGHTY $$$$$$$$
I guess. Good luck to them.
LOL at the pre-nup. So basically, Miss Thang gets an allowance for all the years she puts up with Michael’s dog ways. Man, this is why it’s so important that women get their own money!!!! Stop letting these fools buy you. It’s not worth it!!!
I have a feeling this marriage won’t work out…she looks so young.
I agree with the posters laughing at that pre-nup. But let’s be real, as long as Mike can get people to buy the same shoes over and over again, he can afford to get married. LOL.
What’s all the secrecy about? Is anybody checking for Jordan? He’s like a D-List celeb now… especially with all the new athletes making waves with way more interesting news.
I have to agree boo. I don’t think anyone really cares. lol
Thank you.
Sure, right, but if he stepped to you would you delcine, Yeah, just what I thought. $$$
You must be one of the brainless people that keep him rich by buying the same damn shoes over and over again. If so, I’d expect you to believe the myth that all women want athletes and don’t want to have their own money. To think otherwise might take more intelligence then you’re capable of. Newsflash, not every woman wants an athlete or the hassle of being with one. He probably has several STDs. It’s 2013, please don’t be a fool and think women aren’t out here getting their own money and not being gold diggers in the process.
Jordan a d-list celeb? Please. he is an icon who is still one most famous people in the world
Much ado about nothing.
Anytime I hear anything about him, I just roll my eyes. I don’t know about her but he has been known to be a hound dog in these parts even when he was married. I just don’t know about him any more.
