Youngsters are social media savvy. They even help the older generation figure out the online world. When it comes to NBA icon Michael Jordan, fans have to mostly rely on his children for updates about his family. However, this time, it was his ex-wife, Juanita Vanoy, who celebrated a family member’s commemorative milestone.
Since none of MJ and Juanita’s children were present in person, it was Vanoy who hopped on Instagram to give fans a glimpse of the celebrations. Juanita was MJ’s better half for over 17 years and the couple share three children together.

From his great-granddaughter landing a kiss on his cheek to the rest of his daughters posing along with their husbands, John Vanoy didn’t seem to be deprived of love from any corner. There were many family members on the scene. But viewers couldn’t catch a glimpse of either Michael Jordan or any of his children at the party.
The former couple’s second eldest son, Marcus Jordan, did leave a like on the post. Their daughter, Jasmine, also wasn’t present, despite the fact that she has recently been seen spending more time with her mother.
Despite being divorced for over 17 years now, Juanita Vanoy continues to maintain a non-hostile relationship with her ex-husband. This also includes her trying her best to stay a part of her children’s lives. From hanging out at Beyoncé’s concert to sitting down for a meal, Vanoy has been seen spending quality time with her children. This has also led the 64-year-old to form an opinion that’s completely different from her ex-husband’s.
