“I’m Going to Raise You How I Think You Should Be..”: Michael Jordan and Ex-Wife Juanita Had Different Approaches to Parenting, Once Admitted Daughter Jasmine

A great example of dedication and hard work can be seen in Michael Jordan. On the court, he made many hits that set standards in the history of the NBA. In addition to playing basketball, he was building a billion-dollar empire off the court. 

The values he followed helped him achieve this goal. His values not only helped him reach the goals of his career, but they also showed up in his daily life. And we can see them reflected in his children. In addition, they are making great contributions to their fields of expertise.  There is no doubt that sons Marcus and Jeffrey Jordan are making an impact both on and off the court.

There are many expectations that come with having a father who is one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Additionally, MJ has a daughter, Jasmine Jordan, with his ex-wife, Juanita Vanoy. Currently, Jasmine works as a field representative for the Nike-associated Jordan Brand, her father’s own brand. 

Her growth as a field representative in the sports marketing department can be seen in the results she has achieved. There are undoubtedly some merits to being a child of Michael Jordan in this world. However, his kids continue to hold on to the values and beliefs they were taught by their parents.

As part of the interview, she was asked why she and her siblings are not living the glamorous life of Jordan’s children. According to her, her mother, Juanita, and her father Michael both had different approaches to parenting.

Because of this, for her and her siblings, preserving this life and knowing its value was crucial. She described the different upbringings and parenting styles she receives from her parents. 

“My dad always said, ‘You go out and do what you want, if you want to have that life I support you.’ My mom was more about, ‘I’m going to raise you how I think you should be and once you become an adult you decide what you want to do,'” she said.

Following that, she talked about how fortunate and grateful they were to be in their situation and how much they value their life. She mentioned some stories about growing up and celebrating little things. She further discussed how her parents always made sure that they have a grounded outlook on life.
