14 DAY TRIAL // Twin kids equal double the fun! Former Chicago Bulls player Michael Jordan will be getting more than he bargained for, as sources report he and his wife Yvette Preto will be having identical twin girls.
Leaving aside jokes of a possible basketball team in the making, for Jordan this must be wonderful news. He is already the proud father of three children from his previous marriage. The 50-year-old basketball legend is the father of Jeffrey, 24, Marcus James, 22, and daughter Jasmine, 19, from the 17-years marriage with Juanita Venoy.
Michael and Yvette, a 34-year-old Cuban-American model, were married back in April in what was a very lavish ceremony. The church procession had 300 guests, among which some famous names were also in attendance: Usher, Tiger Woods, Robin Thicke and Spike Lee, to name but a few.
The actual wedding took place at the Bear's Club in Jupiter, Florida. The tent set up for the event measured 40,000 square feet (3716.1 square meters) and it hosted over 1500 people. There were many former basketball players such as Scottie Pippen and Patrick Ewing, as well as performances from Usher and Robin Thicke.
Back in November, the couple announced that they were expecting, but this recent piece of news shows Michael will be getting a bigger gift this Christmas, albeit somewhat late. Yvette is currently 8 months pregnant. More details about the pregnancy could not be obtained at this time, since sources close to the Jordan family are said to be super secretive.
It remains to be seen if the Jordan girls will be competing in the WNBA at one point in their future, but it's safe to say they have a pretty good start as far as genes go.
In other Michael Jordan-related news, his extravagant mansion he put up for sale has failed to draw in any auctioneers. The home in Highland Park, Illinois first went on sale in February 2012 for $22 million (€14.5 million), then dropped by $8 million (€5.8 million) last summer. Still, there were no offers for the mansion.
