Spending the good part of two decades with the most iconic NBA star of all time is bound to bring its fair share of memories. Basketball superstar Michael Jordan married businesswoman Juanita Vanoy in Las Vegas in 1989. They were together for 17 years and had three children together.
When they decided to amicably separate, Juanita was awarded one of the largest divorce settlements in history. She received a settlement of their seven-acre Chicago estate and 168 million dollars! Vanoy got custody of the children, and she did not marry again. Michael married his model girlfriend Yvette Prieto in 2013, and they had twin daughters in 2014 named Ysabel and Victoria.
John Stamos – Rebecca Romijn
"Full House" actor John Stamos met Rebecca Romijn at Victoria’s Secret fashion show in which she was modeling in 1994. They began dating and married in 1998, after which she famously changed her name to Rebecca Romijn-Stamos. Stamos had just finished his time as Uncle Jesse, and Romijn’s acting career was taking off.
They were married for six years when they announced their separation. There are rumors that they split because Romijn didn’t want to start a family, while Stamos did. Stamos recently became a father for the first time, at the age of 54, with his second wife, Caitlyn McHugh. Romijn married actor Jerry O’Connell in 2007. They are still together and have two kids.
Robert Redford – Lola Van Wagenen

The couple had four children: Scott Anthony, Shauna Jean, David James “Jamie,” and Amy Hart Redford. Tragically, their eldest son Scott died at the tender age of 2.5 months. Although they have been divorced for many years, Redford and Wagenen are still close.
