Michael Jordan’s recent European vacation has sparked concern among fans after photos surfaced from a UEFA Champions League match between AS Monaco and FC Barcelona. Jordan, 61, attended the game at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco alongside his wife, Yvette Prieto, but it wasn’t just his presence at the match that grabbed attention. The six-time NBA champion’s noticeably yellow-tinted eyes raised questions about his health, with fans expressing worry over his appearance.
The photos, shared by Bleacher Report on Instagram, quickly generated a wave of concerned comments. “Is dude high or is his liver shot?” one fan wrote, while another asked, “Can someone please check that man’s liver?” Fans on X (formerly Twitter) echoed these concerns, with one writing, “Why the hell MJ out here with JAUNDICE tho? Eyes lookin like a Vampire In Brooklyn.” Others offered more lighthearted advice, with one fan suggesting, “Mike, get some water,” and another adding, “Bro need some eye drops.”
This is not the first time Jordan’s health has come under public scrutiny. Similar worries about the yellowish tint of his eyes were raised during the release of his 2020 docuseries, The Last Dance, where fans speculated about potential liver issues or other serious conditions.
While some suggest that alcohol-induced jaundice, cirrhosis, or even liver cancer could be the cause, Jordan has never publicly addressed the health concerns that have swirled for years.

Despite the speculation, the Basketball Hall of Famer seems to be enjoying his European summer tour with Prieto, showing no signs of slowing down. The couple has made stops in glamorous destinations like Saint Tropez, Barcelona, and Ibiza, and they are traveling in style aboard Jordan’s mega yacht, the “M’BRACE.”
Jordan and Prieto, who celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary in April, are parents to 10-year-old twin daughters, Victoria and Isabel. Even with health concerns looming in the background, Jordan appears to be relishing his time abroad, with the couple frequently photographed enjoying their luxurious Mediterranean getaway.
In addition to his vacation, Jordan received some good news this week regarding his long-standing effort to sell his $14.8 million mansion in Chicago. The property, which first hit the market in 2012 for $29 million, has been a tough sell, but it appears progress is finally being made toward a sale.
For now, while fans may be concerned about Jordan’s health, the basketball legend continues to enjoy life on his terms, soaking in the European summer with his family.
Whether or not he chooses to address the rumors remains to be seen, but his love for travel, soccer, and quality time with his loved ones is evident.
