Michael Jordan and His Wife Are Dunzo

Michael Jordan and His Wife Are Dunzo
"Michael and Juanita Jordan mutually and amicably decided to end their 17-year marriage," the couple's lawyers said in a statement.

"A judgment for dissolution of their marriage was entered today. There will be no further statements."

The former Chicago Bulls star, 43, and his wife met at a restaurant in Chicago and wed in Las Vegas on Sept. 2, 1989. They have three children: Jeffrey, Marcus and Jasmine.

Still, some friends were surprised by Friday's announcement. "I'm shocked and disappointed that their marriage didn't work," family friend Les Coney, "I think they're wonderful people and I have no doubt they'll be putting their kids first."
