Michael Jordan Scores Another Slam Dunk! Chicago Bulls Star Player Set To Become A Father; Wife Yvette Prieto To Give Birth By April

Michael Jordan is a new dad. Again. For the fourth time.

Jordan and his model wife Yvette Prieto are expecting their first child due in April. It's the first for Yvette, a Cuban-American whom he wed on April 27 in Palm Beach, Florida.

Jordan, 50, has three kids with previous wife Juanita Vanoy.

Considered to be the Greatest Of All Time among the patheon of basketball greats, Michael Jordan is also one of basketball's greatest dunkers having won the Slam Dunk title during All-Star Weekend two times in the mid 80s.

He spent most of his playing years for Chicago Bulls before retiring at his peak in 1993 following the violent death of his father, James. He came back in 1995 and won multiple titles and MVP awards while playing as a Bull.

Jordan retired again in 1998 before playing for Washington Wizards while also as part-owner.

He divorced Juanita after 17 years of marriage and she got custody of the children, the Chicago mansion that they lived in as a couple along with $168 million in settlement.

Of course, that's just chump change to Jordan who is estimated to be worth $650 million and earning $80 million each year.

Jordan seemed to have learned his lesson as he asked Yvette to sign a prenuptial agreement which will pay her $1 million each year that they are married. The amount will bump up to $5 million annually if they divorce in 10 years.

In February this year, Jordan was involved in a paternity suit when Pamela Smith filed a child support petition in Fulton County, GA. She claimed in her suit that she became pregnant after a tryst with the basketball star in 1995.

Pamela gave birth to Taj, or Grant Pierce Jay Jordan Reynolds, in 1996 while he was competing for his sixth NBA title.
