So, you hear folks talking about celebrity splits, and yeah, some of them are real wallet-busters. Michael Jordan’s divorce from Juanita Vanoy, though, that was a pretty significant one in its own right, especially for its time. It wasn’t just a footnote; it made headlines.
How I Stumbled Upon This Old News
Now, you might be thinking I’m some kind of celebrity gossip hound. Not really. My interest in this, or rather, my re-discovery of it, happened completely by accident. I was in the middle of a massive clear-out a while back. My garage was overflowing with junk I’d accumulated over the years. Stuff I hadn’t seen in ages. You know how it is.
My “practice,” if you wanna call it that, was basically me battling dust bunnies and trying to decide what to keep and what to toss. It was a whole weekend affair, let me tell you. And amidst all that, I found a box. This box was like a time capsule – old newspapers, magazines, clippings. My mom, bless her heart, used to save everything she thought was important or interesting.
What I Found
So, I started sifting through these yellowed papers. My “record-keeping” for this little unplanned project was just me, on the floor, going through piles. Most of it was pretty mundane, local news, old ads that were kinda funny to look at now. But then, bam! I hit a stack of sports sections and entertainment pull-outs from the early to mid-2000s. And there it was, story after story about the Jordan divorce.
- Headlines about their initial separation attempts.
- Lots of speculation pieces (you know how the media gets with big names).
- And then, the actual news about the final settlement when it eventually happened.
I must have spent a good hour or two just sitting there on the dusty garage floor, reading through these old articles. It wasn’t like I was doing some deep investigative journalism, more like falling down a nostalgic rabbit hole. The figures mentioned were eye-watering back then, and honestly, they still are. It was all there – the timeline, the reported settlement numbers, the whole shebang. It really brought back how big of a deal it was when it went down. It wasn’t just sports news; it was front-page stuff for a while.
It’s funny how you forget things, and then something just jogs your memory. That box of old papers did it for me. So yeah, that’s my little story of how I ended up re-learning all about the Michael Jordan divorce. Just a guy, a dusty garage, and a pile of old newsprint. Sometimes, the most random things trigger these trips down memory lane, right?
