Michael Jordan is kicking back and relaxing on a romantic vacation in Ibiza with his model wife Yvette Prieto this summer.
Jordan and Prieto, who have been married for the last 11 years, were spotted heading out on a speed boat over the weekend as the loved-up couple enjoy some down time on the Spanish island.
The dapper NBA legend, 61, donned a white bucket hat and matching t-shirt with light green and white patterned swim shorts on the boat ride, while also puffing on one of his signature cigars.
Prieto, 44, wearing a beige knitted beach cover up over a bikini, kept her super-expensive diamond engagement ring on her finger throughout.
Jordan is said to have forked out upwards of $1million on the glamorous ring for his future wife before he popped the question back in 2011, and it proved a worthwhile investment with the pair still happily married over a decade on.

Jordan, worth an estimated $3.6bn, recently forked out $15m on a new 82-foot yacht, which he entered into a deep-sea fishing tournament off the North Carolina coast.
However, the former Chicago Bull superstar's latest venture did not go swimmingly.
He reportedly entered his newest boat, a yacht named 'Catch 23', in the 66th annual Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament in Morehead City, according to TMZ.
Jordan was hoping to catch a piece of the prize pool - which totaled $7.5million in cash.
Unfortunately, his crew of seven anglers and a captain failed to place, meaning he failed to take home any money over the weekend. The basketball great was not competing in the tournament himself.
For comparison's sake, the $15m Jordan spent on the new yacht is less than one percent of his reported net worth.
Jordan only recently acquired the boat - which bared the Catch 23 name similar to others he previously competed in.

In 2020 his boat came second to last in the same tournament, despite catching a 442.3 pound fish.
The vessel has been successful in other tournaments - like the 32nd annual MidAtlantic Fishing tournament's white marlin division back in August of 2023.
Sportskeeda previously reported that Jordan competed at a popular billfish event in the Bahamas last year, where he and his teammates reeled in four blue marlins, five white marlins, and a sailfish.
Jordan has also been known to fish with golfer Luke Donald.
In fact, Donald once shared a birthday message to Jordan on Instagram, showing the two out on a boat at sea and captioned the image: 'Happy Birthday to the G.O.A.T.
'The most competitive person I know in everything he does, he always finds a way to win. He's also one of the kindest and most sincere people I've been around.
