While he was enjoying great success with the female gender during his heyday in the NBA, Michael Jordan dated Robin Givens, who later became Mike Tyson’s wife. A romance about which he spoke with great honesty.
If he admits to having long experienced big difficulties with the art of flirtingthese quickly disappeared following his arrival in the NBA, Michael Jordan indeed accumulated many conquests once he arrived in the ranks of the league, among which the famous actress Robin Givens. This, before the latter ran into the arms of Mike Tyson, with whom she even married in 1988.

Convinced that he had simply acted as a springboard for his ex, Mike seemed more than relieved not to play the role of the legendary boxer in this scenario. This has in any case led him to develop a great distrust of women:
Michael Jordan : Right now, I don’t trust any woman except my mother.
Rather than showing pride in having formed a couple with Robin Givens for a few days, Michael Jordan mostly regretted having dated her. For him, the actress was simply looking to boost her stock, and not to develop a lasting relationship.
