It’s hard to keep track of how long Michael Jordan and his wife Yvette Prieto have been in Europe.
The NBA legend and former model, who’ve been married since 2013, were photographed swimming off the coast of Villefranche-sur-Mer, a resort town in France, on Monday.
Jordan was seen sitting on a private deck, where he and Prieto, 44, were joined by a few pals.
The 60-year-old — whose sale of the Charlotte Hornets was reportedly approved for an approximate $3 billion valuation on Sunday — looked on while a bikini-clad Prieto prepared for a swim.
Other photos showed Jordan diving into the ocean with his clothes on, as well as the couple laughing with the group.
Jordan has made headlines throughout July for business and pleasure.
Earlier this month, the couple, along with their 9-year-old twin daughters, Victoria and Ysabel, enjoyed a family trip to Italy, where they were photographed taking a boat tour off the coast of Sicily.

Jordan and Prieto also met up with their friends — Lakers legend Magic Johnson, actor Samuel L. Jackson and Judge Greg Mathis, and their respective wives — for a group dinner at the world-famous Da Paolino Ristorante in Capri.
Just days before they were spotted in Italy, Jordan stirred buzz online when he was asked by a paparazzi in Paris whether or not he approved of his son Marcus’ relationship with Larsa Pippen.

Marcus, 32, and 49-year-old Larsa — who was previously married to Jordan’s former Bulls teammate, Scottie Pippen — addressed the situation on their “Separation Anxiety” podcast a few days later.
Marcus claimed his father’s reaction was a joke and the result of too much tequila, and explained that Jordan had texted his son to warn him about the paparazzi encounter before the news broke.
Meanwhile, Larsa said she felt “traumatized” and “embarrassed” after the situation blew up in the media.

Marcus also explained that the “root” of the matter becoming a hot topic is that many focus on his dad’s relationship with Pippen, which has soured in recent years.
Larsa’s divorce from Pippen, 57, was finalized in December 2021, roughly three years after she filed.

Prior to the dating buzz, Jordan and Prieto attended the Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway in June.
The couple met at a Miami nightclub in 2008, two years after Jordan divorced his first wife, Juanita Vanoy, who is Marcus’ mother.
