As the offspring of basketball legend MichaelJordan, Jasmine Mickael Jordan has lived her entire life in the spotlight. Born of a man of incomparable talent, much is expected of her, perhaps on the same path as her father, but Jasmine seems to have other plans for her career. She shares her father’s passion for sports, but not in the way the world expects.
Although she is mostly basking in fame and on the strength of her father’s illustrious career in the family, Jasmine Mickael Jordan has accomplished some remarkable feats herself. She also made headlines following speculation about her sexuality. More details about it below.
Biography of Jasmine Mickael Jordan
Just like her mother, she was born in Chicago. In Illinois, United States, her birth took place on December 7, 1992. She was raised as the last child of her father, a Hall of Fame basketball player , and his first wife, alongside two older brothers.
Details of her early educational activities are not public knowledge but she studied up to tertiary level. After studying from 2011 to 2014, Jasmine earned a degree in sports management from Syracuse University in New York. Apparently, his college choice is his own way of following in his father’s footsteps.
Career
Not much has been revealed about the reality that Jasmine Michael Jordan chose for herself, but it’s already clear that she’s not going to shoot the hoops like her dad. Although she is very proud of the man who raised her, she has headed in a different direction in her career.
From what we gathered, she might have a future in fashion design. She is known to have contributed greatly to the success of her father’s famous sneaker collection, known as the Jasmine Collection. She didn’t just lend her name to the collection, she also designed it with women’s needs in mind.
She also describes herself as an extrovert, a trait which has seen her fiddling with the mic at social events. Jasmine has co-hosted some major college-level events, including the Syracuse basketball team’s Midnight Madness event. She has social media accounts on different platforms such as Instagram and Twitter. On the first, she has more than 69,000 subscribers while the second has more than 17,000 subscribers in March 2019.
The family life of Jasmine Mickael Jordan
Jasmine Mickael Jordan was born to now-retired basketball player Michael Jordan and his first wife, Juanita Vanoy. While his father was posting breathtaking records on the court, his mother offered her role models to him as a role model. Jasmine is the youngest of the couple who ended their marriage in 2006 after three children.
From her parents, Jasmine has two older brothers named Jeffrey Jordan and Marcus Jordan. Both brothers were also unable to live up to their father’s legacy, but they played basketball up to the college level at the University of Central Florida. Both brothers left their UCF team at different times, citing personal reasons. They are currently pursuing other projects.
Jasmine also has two younger sisters from her father’s second marriage model Yvette Prieto. The couple welcomed their twin daughters, Ysabel and Victoria Jordan (Jasmin’s half-siblings) in 2014.
Private life
In 2013, Jasmine Mickael Jordan reportedly fueled speculation about her sexuality through the photos and posts she shared with her thousands of Instagram fans. In one of her posts, she apparently revealed that her sexual orientation was lesbian. This follows her confirmation that she was in a relationship with Syracuse University basketball player Carmen Tyson-Thomas. Jasmine continued on this path for a while and made it worse by refusing to discuss her sexuality in public. As a result, speculation swirled that she exclusively loves women, but that claim was quickly quashed when, in 2016, it was revealed that Jasmine was dating a basketball player.
This basketball player who won Jasmine’s heart is Rakeem Noël. Their relationship took a different turn in June 2018 when they got engaged and in December 2018 the biggest news was shared: they are expecting their first child as a couple!
