Michael Jordan’s personal life hasn’t been nearly as aspirational as his professional career. Although Jordan’s marriage to Vanoy ended with court battles and settlements, their relationship started the same way. Vanoy actually got pregnant with their first child prior to marriage, and had to get a lawyer involved for Jordan to take responsibility. “She told me she was pregnant, unwed, and that the father of the child was Michael Jordan,” shared Vanoy’s lawyer (via the Washington Post). “She felt she could not get Michael’s attention or cooperation or response without the retention of a legal representative.”
Fortunately, Jordan and Vanoy eventually got on the same page, later marrying on September 2, 1989. And while they enjoyed many years together, things turned sour once Jordan allegedly started to cheat on Vanoy. Over the years, it’s been rumored that Jordan actually engaged in several outside relationships. However, Karla Knafel’s name gets thrown around the most when speaking of Jordan’s alleged infidelities. In 2013, Knafel even sued Jordan over the paternity of her then-17-year-old son, meaning the alleged affair would have taken place between 1995 and 1996. However, a judge threw the case out after determining that Knafel had already established paternity elsewhere, per TMZ.
Even so, private attorney Ernie Rizzo alleged to the Washington Post that he’d witnessed Jordan act inappropriately with several women over the years. And while his statements haven’t been confirmed, it certainly seems like a lot of potential headache.
