“Yvette Jordan and the babies are doing well and the family is overjoyed at their arrival,” Portnoy said.Jordan is the owner of the NBA’s Charlotte Bobcats, who are currently the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference and have a chance to make the postseason for the first time since he took over as majority owner in 2010.

The reception took place at a private golf club in Jupiter, Fla., designed by Jack Nicklaus. Jordan owns a home near the course.
The couple met six years ago. Jordan has three children — two sons, Jeffrey Michael and Marcus James, and a daughter, Jasmine — with former wife Juanita Vanoy. They divorced in 2006. Jordan won six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls and was a 14-time All-Star and five-time league MVP.
