NBA superstar Michael Jordan and his wife Juanita.

Michael Jordan and his wife, Juanita, filed for divorce Friday after 17 years of marriage.

"Michael and Juanita Jordan mutually and amicably¹ decided² to end their 17 year marriage," the couple said in a statement issued through the lawyers. "A judgment³ for dissolution of their marriage was entered today."

Juanita Jordan previously⁴ filed for divorce in January 2002, but withdrew her petition a month later when the couple announced they were attempting a reconciliation⁵.

During her last divorce petition, Juanita said attempts to reconcile their marriage had failed and future ones "would be impractical⁶ and not in the best interests of the family."

The couple met at a Chicago restaurant during his second season with the Bulls and were married Sept. 2, 1989, in Las Vegas. They have three children: Jeffrey, Marcus and Jasmine.

The 43-year-old Jordan, a part-owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, led the Bulls to six NBA titles and was a five-time league MVP. He lives in Highland⁷ Park, Ill.

NBA巨星迈克尔·乔丹与结婚17年的妻子胡安妮塔于本周五向法院提出离婚诉讼。

乔丹与胡安妮塔在通过双方律师发表的一份声明中表示：“迈克尔·乔丹和胡安妮塔·乔丹经友好协商，决定结束两人17年的婚姻生活。离婚判决从即日起生效。”

胡安妮塔·乔丹曾于2002年1月提出离婚诉讼，但一个月后又撤回了诉状，并表示她和乔丹正在尝试调解。

胡安妮塔说，上一次的调解并没有成功，所以今后再进行调解“也没什么意义，而且对整个家庭也没什么好处”。

乔丹和胡安妮塔在芝加哥的一个餐馆相识，当时乔丹正在公牛队打第二个赛季。两人于1989年9月2日在拉斯维加斯结婚，之后生了三个孩子：杰弗里、马库斯和“茉莉”。

43岁的乔丹目前是NBA夏洛特山猫队的合伙人，他曾带领芝加哥公牛队夺得六届NBA总冠军，并五次获得联盟“最有价值球员”的称号。乔丹现居住在伊里诺斯州的高地花园区。
