It’s been a whirlwind few months for the Jordan family, with Marcus Jordan stealing the spotlight for his dating life.
But this time, it was his older brother, Jeffrey Jordan, who took center stage.
Celebrating his 36th birthday, Jeffrey shared a series of nostalgic childhood photos on Instagram, and the love poured in.
From heartfelt words from his mom, Juanita Vanoy, to warm wishes from friends and celebrities, it was clear Jeffrey’s big day was one to remember.
Jeffrey dropped a throwback post featuring moments from his earliest days—one photo of him as a baby on MJ’s lap and another showing Michael Jordan at the hospital with Juanita.
His caption read, “36 ✨🦂 ♏ #MJMondays #111888 🧎🏾➡🧘🏾♂🙏🏾🤲🏾🙌🏾.”
In true Juanita fashion, his mom chimed in with her signature humor, commenting, “Game went into OT 🙃.”
Meanwhile, his wife Radina Aneva also showered him with affection, writing, “Happy birthday, love! 🥳🎉🥰❤.”
But the love didn’t stop there. Notable figures from the sports world jumped in to celebrate Jeffrey’s milestone.
2x NBA All-Star Isaiah Thomas gave a shout-out with “Happy birthday killa 🏁,” and former NFL player 3x Pro Bowler Desmond Demond Bryant, added, “Happy birthday bro!!!”
Meanwhile, Juanita took to her own Instagram to keep the celebrations going.
She shared a photo of herself with Jeffrey, captioning it, “Today is my oldest son’s birthday.
Pls join me in wishing Jeffrey @heirjordan13 a very happy Birthday.”
Even rapper Nicki Minaj joined the party, posting a photo of a young Jeffrey playing golf with the caption, “The Follow Through • •🎈Happy Birthday Bro – Love You 4L🎈.”
As for Michael Jordan? The NBA legend doesn’t do social media, so his way of celebrating Jeffrey’s birthday remains a mystery.
But count on Juanita to fill up the online presence.
MJ’s ex-wife Juanita shows up for Jeffrey
Jeffrey Jordan, the eldest son of NBA legend Michael Jordan, has been married for five years now.
To mark the milestone, Jeffrey shared a heartwarming tribute to his wife, Radina Aneva, on Instagram.
He wrote, “Can’t believe it’s Year 5, and we’re still enjoying the ride!
It feels like yesterday I first saw you @ Venice Beach; but at the same time, it feels like we’ve been together forever.”
Among the flood of congratulatory comments, Juanita Vanoy, Jeffrey’s mother, left a message that warmed everyone’s hearts.
She wrote, “To my son & daughter-in-law: Happy Anniversary, may you have many more anniversaries ahead. Love you both.”
Jeffrey’s relationship with his mom has always been special, especially considering the challenges of growing up in his father’s immense shadow.
Trying to step out of Michael Jordan’s legacy on the court was no small feat, but Jeffrey found a way to honor his mother while carving his own path.
In fact, when Jeffrey played basketball at the University of Illinois, he chose to wear jersey number 13—a nod to Juanita’s old basketball number.
Born on June 13, Juanita had passed down her love for the game to her son, and his choice to wear her number was a touching tribute to the woman who raised him.
