(Newser) – Michael Jordan has a new reason to be walking on air: He's engaged to girlfriend Yvette Prieto. The 48-year-old has been dating the Cuban-American model, 32, for three years. Jordan, who divorced his wife of 17 years in 2006, popped the question to Prieto on Christmas day, his spokesperson confirms to WCNC. The NBA legend, now majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, has three children with his ex-wife Juanita.
