While Michael Jordan's The Last Dance follows his last season with the Chicago Bulls, the documentary leaves out details about Jordan's family. Jordan mostly kept his personal life private, including his first marriage to Juanita Vanoy. The couple had three children before their divorce – Jeffrey, Jasmine and Marcus Jordan. Marcus started as a basketball player just like his father and now also runs a boutique which sells Jordan-inspired boutique.
