Michael Jordan steps out for rare date night with wife Yvette Prieto in Nashville

There was a GOAT sighting in Nashville.

NBA legend Michael Jordan — who owns and operates 23XI Racing — went out for a night on the town with his wife, Yvette Prieto, last Friday, celebrating the start of the NASCAR Ally 400 race weekend in Tennessee. 

Jordan, 60, and Prieto, 44, were spotted on the red carpet at the Electric Jane, where the two partied and socialized with other celebrities, like country music star Garth Brooks and NASCAR racers Bubba Wallace and Kurt Busch, People reported.

Prieto, a Cuban-born model, met Jordan in 2008 at a Miami nightclub, and three years later, Jordan proposed to Prieto.

The couple tied the knot in 2013 in front of hundreds of guests, which included Spike Lee, Patrick Ewing and Tiger Woods.

The wedding also had performances by Usher and Robin Thicke at Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida.

A little over a year after the wedding in February 2014, the couple had twin girls, Ysabel and Victoria.

Before his marriage with Prieto, Jordan was married to Juanita Vanoy.

The two had three children together, Jeffery, 34, Marcus, 32, and Jasmine, 30, before separating after 17 years in 2006.

On the sports side, Jordan, who owns the Charlotte Hornets, is selling his majority stake in the franchise for a reported $3 billion to a group led by Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall.

He will remain a minority owner as part of the sale.

The Hornets finished 27-55 this past season, the second-worst record in the NBA’s Eastern Conference, and picked Brandon Miller with the No. 2 overall selection in the NBA Draft.

Jordan is looking for more success with 23XI Racing, which includes Wallace, Tyler Reddick, Travis Pastrana and Kamui Kobayashi as racers.

Thus far, the organization boasts four race wins, 22 top-five finishes and 34 inside the top 10 across 89 starts.
