Jordan and his wife filed for divorce yesterday:

Former NBA star Michael Jordan and his wife, Juanita, filed for divorce Friday in a Waukegan, Ill., courthouse. In papers filed at the Lake County courthouse, the couple said their decision to divorce after 17 years of marriage was mutual and amicable, the Chicago Tribune reported. The two have lived apart since February. They are seeking joint custody of their three children, ages 18, 16, and 14, court filings show. Court documents cite irreconcilable differences, and say the Jordans have agreed to a settlement on issues including property and debt, child custody and support, and parenting time, the newspaper said.

Not sure why I still feel validated by stories of celebrity divorce.  For some reason, knowing that the rich, famous and beautiful also stumble through love and marriage eases my own nagging sense of failure on the issue.
