Michael Jordan's wedding won't be postponed due to claims of love child

Michael Jordan is set to wed model fiancée Yvette Prieto next month. One thing is for sure, new claims that he has a 16 year old love child won’t stop or postpone the wedding.

Pamela Smith, 48, claims she slept with Jordan in 1995 while he was still married to his first wife, Juanita Vanoy. Smith went on to claim that she became pregnant with Jordan’s baby.

Jordan and Prieto’s lavish wedding is scheduled to take place on April 27 in South Florida. It will most likely be held at Jordan’s mansion on Jupiter Island.

Smith filed her lawsuit against Jordan in Fulton County, Georgia on February 6. She is asking that Jordan be forced to pay child support for their son, Grant Pierce Jay Jordan Reynolds, aka Taj.

She is also requesting Smith be responsible for Taj’s medical expenses. Smith wants a paternity test to prove that Michael Jordon is in fact her son’s father.

In December, Smith’s son posted a video on Youtube claiming Michael Jordan was his father. In the video he said, “I have some exclusive, exclusive information I feel like everybody should know. If you’ve been hearing any rumors about Michael Jordan’s son on Twitter, Instagram, any of that, it’s true.”

The young boy went on to say, “He [Michael Jordan] should be more in my life about it too, cause if I was somebody’s dad, I would want to be in my kid’s life, ya feel me? So the reason I’m making this video is for everybody to know, for him to come out of the dark and stop being secretive about it.”

Pamela Smith has also asked the judge to make Jordan her son’s official last name.
