Juanita and Michael went on to have three children, two sons and a daughter: Jeffrey Michael Jordan (born 1988), MarcusJames Jordan(born 1990), and Jasmine Jordan (born 1992). Both sons would go on to play college basketball but did not pursue the NBA. Today, Jeffrey works for the Jordan Brand on the digital team. Marcus is the founder of a boutique store called the Trophy Room, but in recent years, he has earned headlines for datingLarsa Pippen. In addition to being 16 years older than Marcus, awkwardly, Larsa was married to Michael's Bulls teammateScottie Pippenfrom 1997 to 2021.  Jasmine worked for a time for the Charlotte Hornets (her dad previously owned the team). Today, she is an executive at Nike. Jasmine made Juanita and Michael grandparents in 2019 when she welcomed a son with her husband, NBA player Rakeem Christmas.

Juanita was famously pictured by Michael's side when he made his second NBA retirement announcement in 1998 after 13 seasons and six NBA titles:

Juanita worked as a successful model and secretary for many years. She was working as a loan officer while also earning a degree when she met Michael Jordan at a Chicago Bennigan's restaurant in 1984. The two were introduced by a mutual friend. At the time, Michael was an NBA rookie heading into his second season with the Bulls. They met for a second time at a party a few weeks after they were introduced and instantly hit it off.
