Michael Jordan scored the best Christmas gift of all.
The Charlotte Bobcats owner got engaged to longtime girlfriend Yvette Prieto, his spokeswoman confirmed to WCNC-TV.
Since putting a ring on it, the two have been celebrating on a yacht in the French Riveria, according to gossip website Tattle Tailz.
Prieto is a Cuban-born model who has lived with Jordan since 2009.
It’s the second marriage for the NBA legend, who was married to his first wife, Juanita, for 17 years.
They divorced in 2006, with Juanita receiving a whopping $168 million from the split.
Jordan has two sons from his first marriage.
After his marriage to Juanita dissolved, a family friend told the Associated Press that he was “shocked” their marriage didn’t last.
“You read about women wanting his attention. But grown men and children do, too,” Les Coney told the AP at the time. “He’s a magnet. He hasn’t played basketball in five years, but still, people stop and take pictures and ask for autographs.”
“Marriage is hard for any couple, and if you add celebrity to that, it’s even harder.”
