Michael Jordan decided that he would give husband life another go. A publicist for Michael Jordan has confirmed that the NBA veteran did propose to his longtime girlfriend, Yvette Prieto and she responded yes. The story was first released by WCNC in Charlotte.

The former NBA star and the Cuban/American model have been together for over three years now and finally got engaged over the Christmas weekend. Jordan was once married to Juanita Vanoy which ended in 2006 from which three children were conceived, two sons, Jeffrey Michael and Marcus James, and a daughter, Jasmine.

Jordan is presently the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats which is why he recently moved to Charlotte, North Carolina.
