Michael Jordan’s wife, Yvette Prieto, is getting praised for helping him do normal stuff.
John Salley, one of Jordan’s teammates, made an appearance on the podcast “Club Shay Shay,” where he talked about Jordan and the positive influence that his wife has had on his life.

“His new wife is the bomb, too.” said Salley. “Her making him do normal things is dope. It’s good for him. It’s kind of crazy.” Salley and Jordan played basketball together at the Chicago Bulls, being a part of one of the most iconic teams in history.
Prieto and Jordan married in the year 2013, and have two children together: Victoria and Ysabel.

Prieto is a Cuban-born model, having worked with designers like Alexander Wang over the course of her career. While the two are very private over their lives, they’ve been photographed enjoying themselves and having a good time on occasions. Per People magazine, the two go out with private security and even have codenames for themselves in public.
Earlier this year, Prieto and Jordan were photographed in Los Cabos, Mexico, where they spend some time with their daughters. Prieto looked stunning in a green bikini while Jordan looked happy and relaxed as he hugged one of their daughters.
