Michael Jordan new wife to be Yvette Prieto can be seen gracing the arms of the basketball great at red carpet events and throughout town.  Jordan proposed to girlfriend Prieto around Christmas of 2011 and they have been working on wedding preparations with no date set in stone yet.  Who knows, they may have secretly married like Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds did over the weekend.

Here are some fun facts and pictures of beautiful Prieto.

-Yvette Prieto is a Cuban-American model

-Prieto's age is reportedly 33.

-The model dated Enrique Iglesias' older brother Julio Iglesias Jr. in the past.  He only had nice things to say about Prieto.  "She's a fantastic girl and I like her. Aside from her beauty, which is obvious, she is loving, simple and very good person," he said in 2003.
Prieto has reportedly moved in with the basketball player in February 2009.

-Prieto has filed for bankruptcy (chapter 7) in 2002.

-Jordan thanked Prieto in his "Basketball Hall of Fame induction speech" in 2009.

-When the couple's engagement was announced last year, the reactions were mixed.  Jordan had a bitter divorce with ex-wife Juanita Jordan and he ended up settling the divorce with nearly $150 million dollars. Fans were worried that Prieto might be a gold digger, or that the couple might end up in the situation as Jordan's first marriage.  Some other fans truly wish Jordan the best for finding new love again.

Here are some of his fans' reactions:

"Michael finally scores again, good luck and may this marriage be everything you want it to be. I just wish you the best coz you gave us your best. GOAT, hope the wife to be knows that she is marrying a colleague of Zeus" wrote Michael Jordan fan.

"This marriage has nothing to do with Michaels money does it?" wrote USMC460.

"Can't believe he's doing this again. Some people never learn or as my grandmother used to say, 'a hard head makes a soft butt every time.' and here's hoping he doesn't cheat on the new one left and right like he did his first wife who was royally compensated for the time spent married to him." say melodisong2.

Another fan defended Jordan and wrote, "If he is happy with this arrangement and she is happy with the arrangement, who are we to complain. I am just glad that she is not some underage girl being sexually harassed by some pervert. I wish the best to him and her as they try to find happiness in world that has so little of it."
