Michael Jordan paid Karla Knafel a quarter of a million dollars to keep their relationship a secret from the public eye. 

Michael Jordan and Juanita Vanoy had known one another since the former’s days as a UNC Tar Heel. After dating for several years, the two tied the knot in November of 1989. Their marriage however, wasn’t without some drama of its own. 

Most famously, Jordan wrote a 20-page letter to actress, Amy Hunter, prior to marrying Vanoy, apologizing for not being able to be in a relationship with her any longer, this was due to the fact that the woman he was going t marry was pregnant and so he was forced to cut off Hunter from his life.

10 years later and Knafel tried to get millions more from Jordan. He would go on to file a lawsuit against her and while he admitted to paying her a quarter of a million dollars, he had not paid a cent after that, according to the suit. 

A judge denied Knafel the $5 million he requested as a DNA test revealed her child was not Jordan’s. 

Juanita Jordan would go on to file for divorce citing irreconcilable differences in January of 2002 while also wanting custody of their 3 children.
