Jasmine took to Instagram to write a sweet message about having MJ as her father. She also mentioned how wonderful he is as a grandfather.

 

Jasmine has one child, a son, who was born in 2019, and she has spoken about how MJ loves being a grandparent.

“Michael Jordan, the grandpa, is soft. My son definitely has my dad wrapped around his finger,” Jasmine said. “He loves being a grandfather, and my son is his first grandchild.”

Jasmine also spoke on how her father didn’t want to be called grandpa at first.

“He had to warm up to it,” Jasmine said. “At first he wanted my son to call him ‘Mike’ or ‘Michael’ and I’m like, ‘Dad, we’re not doing this. You have to accept the grandpa title. It is what it is.’

“They hang out as much as they can. We’re on FaceTime and Zoom like 24-7 it feels like,” she said.

Michael Jordan appears to be a wonderful father, and grandfather. It was certainly a nice Father’s Day post by the little girl we all remember seeing during Jordan’s last three title runs.
