Wedding bells are ringing for the pair!

It seems that this Christmas the marriage bug is hitting a number of celebrities - as Matthew McConaughey, John Legend and Steven Tyler all announced their engagements this week - and Michael Jordan is the latest to propose to model, girlfriend, Yvette Prieto.

Us Weekly report that Michael's representative confirms the basketball superstar, 48, asked his girlfriend, Cuban model Yvette Prieto, 32, to marry him over the Christmas weekend.

The couple have been dating for three years and this will be Michael’s second marriage - as he and his wife of 16 years Juanita Vanoy parted ways.

The couple had planned to get divorced back in 2002  but they tried to work things out which proved to be unsuccessful - before finally ending their marriage in 2006.

The star and his former wife who owns the NBA team the Charlotte Bobcats, have three kids: sons Jeffrey Michael, 23, and Marcus James, 21, and daughter, Jasmine, 18.
