In September 1989, Juanita Vanoy married the legendary Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls. The couple was married until their divorce in 2006. A private investigator once claimed that Jordan indulged in extramarital affairs more than a dozen times while still married to Vanoy. According to the allegation, he had an affair with none other than Vanessa Williams, a former Miss America.
Despite their 17-year marriage and subsequent divorce, Vanoy and the NBA legend have never derided one another in public. Most people aren’t aware that their marriage was once rather controversial, though.
In 2002, Vanoy filed for divorce, claiming they had irreconcilable differences, she eventually withdrew her case. Juanita had to cope with gambling, stalking, and paternity allegations against MJ as well as infidelity.
It wasn’t all that shocking when suspicions started to circulate that the Bulls legend might have been dating actress Vanessa Williams. The Washington Post reported in 2002 that there were widespread speculations that Williams was seeing nobody other than MJ.
Williams has had several high-profile romances, with two of the most notable ones including Rick Fox of the Lakers and Arnold Schwarzenegger. In reality, Fox and Williams were married from 1999 to 2004 and have a child together. Therefore, if the reports about Michael and Vanessa were accurate, their infidelity would have interfered with Vanessa’s marriage to Rick Fox.
Who is Vanessa Williams and what is her net worth?
American singer, actor, and producer Vanessa Williams has a net worth of $25 million, according to Celebrity Networth.
Although she first rose to fame as Miss America in 1984, her acting and singing success eventually came to define her career. Williams was formerly viewed as a contentious person due to a well-reported scandal, but she is now one of the most recognizable figures in entertainment.
Where is Juanita Vanoy now?
Since her divorce from Jordan, Juanita Vanoy has led a secluded life. She restricted her lifestyle and started taking care of her friends and her kids’ basic needs. Vanoy withdrew from the spotlight and steadfastly declined to appear in public. She also shares ownership of the nonprofit “Michael and Juanita Endowment Fund.”
This business gives to a charity that supports civic and educational objectives. She worked in the real estate sector in addition to holding the role of organizational chairperson.
