After recent visits to Italy’s finest restaurants, Michael Jordan and his wife Yvette Prieto have been enjoying downtime by themselves on a yacht.

There is a heatwave in Europe at present and Jordan was recently pictured fanning himself while out for lunch in Sardinia.

This time, though, he stayed on the yacht and tried to keep cool with a white bucket hat while he had a bite to eat with his wife and their twin daughters. Temperatures in Italy have been breaking 100 degrees recently.

The 60-year-old Jordan was pictured sat at his dining table with his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren while his wife Yvette, 44, was seen walking around the yacht in her workout clothes.

While he has been in Europe, Jordan has caught up with some old friends from the NBA and Hollywood.

The 60-year-old Jordan and Prieto have been seen recently at some of Italy’s finest restaurants

Last week, he was pictured at dinner with Magic Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson at the famous Lemon Tree restaurant in Capri.

The three friends were hilariously serenaded by the restaurant band and Johnson shared an amusing video of himself and Jordan smiling along as the band played to them.

‘Tonight we enjoyed an incredible dinner at the world-famous Da Paolino Ristorante AKA the lemon tree restaurant in Capri, Italy,’ Johnson wrote in an Instagram post.

‘AND I got to hang out with my great friend and the greatest basketball player to ever live, Michael Jordan, and his wife Yvette, Sam (Samuel L Jackson) and LaTanya Jackson, Judge Greg and Linda Mathis, and John and Vicki Palmer.’

Jordan and wife Prieto typically tend to keep a low profile.

The couple met in a Miami nightclub in 2008, with Jordan proposing to the Cuban-𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 model three years later.

They married in 2013 and a year later they welcomed their daughters, now nine.

Before heading to Italy, MJ and Yvette were in Paris and were filmed leaving a restaurant when Jordan was asked if he approves of his sone Marcus, 32, dating Larsa Pippen – the 49-year-old ex-wife of Jordan’s Bulls teammate Scottie Pippen.

With a laugh, he said: ‘No!’.

Then, on a recent episode of Marcus and Larsa’s podcast, both halves of the couple shared their unfiltered reactions to Michael’s remark.

On the one hand, Marcus was ‘dying laughing’ at Michael’s comment, which was ‘hilarious to me’ because ‘I know my dad, right?’

Larsa on the other hand ‘didn’t think it was funny,’ found ‘nothing funny about it’ and seemed bemused that Marcus saw the humor in the situation.

Marcus explained that ‘my whole family, we’re all competitive. The Jordans, like, part of our DNA is to talk s***, you know? And it gets us going. It gets us motivated.’

When he got wind of what Michael said about Larsa, he ‘immediately I thought: “Like, he’s playing. he’s being jov- joking, he’s laughing. He’s, you know, just being playful.’

Marcus waggishly added that his father might have been ‘a little lit’ off tequila at the Paris restaurant Matignon the night of his viral dig at Larsa.
