Michael Jordan and his wife Yvette Prieto have been spending time alone on a yacht after dining at some of Italy’s best restaurants.
Europe is now experiencing a heat wave, and Jordan was recently seen fanning himself while having lunch in Sardinia.
But this time, he stayed on the yacht and had a bite to eat with his wife and their twin children, trying to stay cool with a white bucket hat. Lately, Italy has been experiencing temperatures above 100 degrees.
While his 44-year-old wife Yvette was spotted strolling around the yacht in her fitness attire, the 60-year-old Jordan was pictured sitting at his dining table with his kids.
Jordan has reconnected with some old acquaintances from the NBA and Hollywood during his time in Europe.

The 60-year-old Jordan and Prieto have been seen recently at some of Italy’s finest restaurants
Last week, he was pictured at dinner with Magic Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson at the famous Lemon Tree restaurant in Capri.
The three friends were hilariously serenaded by the restaurant band and Johnson shared an amusing video of himself and Jordan smiling along as the band played to them.
‘Tonight we enjoyed an incredible dinner at the world-famous Da Paolino Ristorante AKA the lemon tree restaurant in Capri, Italy,’ Johnson wrote in an Instagram post.
‘AND I got to hang out with my great friend and the greatest basketball player to ever live, Michael Jordan, and his wife Yvette, Sam (Samuel L Jackson) and LaTanya Jackson, Judge Greg and Linda Mathis, and John and Vicki Palmer.’
Jordan and wife Prieto typically tend to keep a low profile.
The couple met in a Miami nightclub in 2008, with Jordan proposing to the Cuban-born model three years later.
They married in 2013 and a year later they welcomed their daughters, now nine.
Before heading to Italy, MJ and Yvette were in Paris and were filmed leaving a restaurant when Jordan was asked if he approves of his sone Marcus, 32, dating Larsa Pippen – the 49-year-old ex-wife of Jordan’s Bulls teammate Scottie Pippen.

With a laugh, he said: ‘No!’.
Subsequently, in a recent edition of Marcus and Larsa’s podcast, the pair divulged their candid responses to Michael’s statement.
Marcus found Michael’s remark to be “hilarious,” but he was also laughing so hard because, as he put it, “I know my dad, right?”
However, Larsa “didn’t think it was funny,” “found nothing funny about it,” and appeared perplexed that Marcus could find comedy in the circumstance.
Marcus clarified, saying, ‘My entire family is competitive. The Jordans are, as it were, a part of our DNA. And it energizes us. It inspires us.
He thought, “Like, he’s playing,” as soon as he heard what Michael had said about Larsa. He’s laughing and joking around. He’s only being playful, you know.
Marcus waggishly continued, suggesting that the evening of his father’s widely shared jab at Larsa, he may have been “a little lit” off tequila at the Matignon restaurant in Paris.
