Michael Jordan and Juanita Vanoy, Reggie Theus
Michael Jordan, the legendary star of the NBA, first met Juanita Vanoy in 1984. After some time of dating, the pair was hitched in 1989. Before becoming married to the NBA GOAT, it was claimed that she dated former Chicago Bulls star Reggie Theus which Jordan was unaware of.
Michael Jordan is a name that you have definitely heard a lot, even if you have never laced a pair of Jordans or set foot inside a basketball court. Jordan and Juanita Vanoy connected quite early in their professional lives. Juanita was a loan officer seeking an associate’s degree at the same time as Jordan was beginning his professional basketball career with the Chicago Bulls.
They were introduced by a friend who believed they would make a great couple and met for the first time in Chicago during a Bulls game. Jordan appears content with his wife Yvette Prieto now, but prior to the Cuban beauty winning Mike’s heart, he was married to and passionately in love with Juanita Vanoy.

Michael Jordan is among the best basketball players of all time and is often regarded as the NBA ‘GOAT’. Jordan established the NBA superstardom as a tremendous athlete with a rare combination of technical talent, ease, speed, power, artistry, improvisational abilities, and an unquenchable competitive desire. A few of his achievements include being named the NBA’s Rookie of the Year, five-time MVP, six-time champion, MVP of the NBA Finals, defensive player of the year, selection to the 50th and 75th Anniversary All-Time Teams, selection to the NBA All-Star MVP team three times, ten scoring titles and induction into the Hall of Fame.
Michael Jordan is highlighted as one of the greatest scorers in NBA history and has won 10 scoring titles with a career average of 30.1 points in the regular season and 33.5 points in the playoffs. Michael successfully completed two “three-peats” with the Chicago Bulls between 1991 and 1993 and once again between 1996 and 1998, going 6-0 in the Finals each time. He is recognized for improving the prestige of the league and is known for building on the accomplishments of players who came before him, including as Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Julius Erving. Jordan is contrasted with other athletes who have succeeded as their own “brands” and who, because of their familiarity, have turned into icons for endorsements.

Juanita Vanoy had a relationship with a Bulls player before MJ. Reggie Theus, a Bulls player from 1978 to 1984, dated her. He claims credit for Chicago getting Michael Jordan because the Bulls teams he played on were so dreadful. Although the exact timing of Juanita and Reggie’s relationship is a little hazy, the two dated for around a year in 1983 and Jordan didn’t even came to know about it. When the excitement halted, Juanita finally found Jordan. They had three children together after their marriage, and they obtained a legal divorce in 2006.
Vanoy lived a quiet life the entire time after her split with Michael. She scaled back her lifestyle and began taking care of the necessities, including her friends and children. Vanoy retreated from the spotlight and refused to make public appearances. Additionally, she is a co-owner of the nonprofit “Michael and Juanita Endowment Fund.” This company contributes to a charity that promotes civic and educational goals. She had held the position of organization chair. She has also worked in the real estate industry in addition to this.
