?Happy 98th Birthday?: Unfazed by Children?s Absence, Michael Jordan?s Ex-Wife Juanita Celebrates Major Milestone With Loved Ones

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.

A few hours ago, Juanita Vanoy took to Instagram to share a post with her limited but loyal followers. It highlighted a picture of Juanita?s father and Michael Jordan?s ex-father-in-law, John Vanoy, sitting in the front and beaming widely toward the camera. His wife sat beside him. Juanita Vanoy, on the other hand, joined three others in holding up a ?98? shaped balloon.

The photo was taken during a celebratory moment as the Vanoy family marked their eldest member?s 98 birthday. Through a series of Instagram stories shared by Jordan?s ex, people could get a glimpse of the effort taken in making the day special for John Vanoy. “Happy 98th birthday,” she wrote.

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 Beyonc?’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.

Juanita Vanoy shared her approval of Larsa and Marcus?s relationship

32-year-old Marcus has been publicly involved in a relationship with 49-year-old Larsa Pippen. The couple has been the subject of conversation amongst many NBA enthusiasts, mostly due to the fact that Larsa is the ex-wife of Michael Jordan?s former teammate Scottie Pippen.

Since they went public with their relationship, people have wanted to know what Marcus? parents think about the couple. While His Airness has stated his disapproval, Juanita has gone in the opposite direction. Barely a day ago, Larsa uploaded a new post on Instagram. Everyone expected Marcus to leave a heartfelt message. Not many, however, would have caught Juanita Vanoy also leaving her thoughts in the comments section.

Admiring the woman who may possibly soon become her daughter-in-law, she remarked, ?You look fabulous darlin,? accompanied by a ?heart-eyes? emoji. Larsa Pippen replied to Vanoy’s kind words with a heart emoji. From the looks of it, the popular couple seems to have the blessing of one parent.
