Months after his arrest for driving while intoxicated (DWI), drug possession, and other legal issues, Marcus Jordan has taken significant steps to turn his life around. On Sunday, the 34-year-old took to Instagram to share an update on his progress. "40 days sober and counting..." read the message on his Instagram Story, accompanied by a photo from inside a workout room — a clear sign of his commitment to healthier habits.
Marcus Jordan was arrested on February 4
Marcus Jordan, the second-eldest son of NBA legend Michael Jordan, was arrested in the early hours of February 4 in Orange County, Florida. According to reports, his SUV became stuck on railroad tracks, and he was taken into custody after failing field sobriety tests.
In March, TMZ reported that Marcus was seeking to participate in a pre-trial substance abuse intervention program as part of his legal proceedings.

"Jordan's attorneys argued the program would 'not only benefit him personally but also serve the community by reducing the likelihood of future offenses,'" TMZ reported at the time. "They added in the documents that Michael's son 'is amenable to treatment.'"
"It's a step in the right direction for Jordan," TMZ added, "as he stated in court docs back in March, he was struggling with 'challenges' stemming from 'alcohol/substance use' and offered to take courses to address the issues head-on."
Along with the sobriety post, Marcus also shared glimpses of his renewed lifestyle — including photos of himself golfing and enjoying premium steak and sushi meals.
Born in 1990, Marcus is the second-oldest child of basketball legend Michael Jordan. He has an older brother, Jeffrey, and a younger sister, Jasmine. Raised in Highland Park, Illinois, Marcus played as a shooting guard, notably representing the University of Central Florida (UCF) during his college basketball career. However, he never made it to the NBA. After stepping away from basketball, Marcus shifted his focus to business, carving out his own path beyond the court.

Diddy trial: Combs hired porn stars for 'freak off', witness testifies; alleges rapper flew them cross-country

Sean "Diddy" Combs Sean "Diddy" Combs and his former influencer partner hired two male porn stars, who were flown across the country for 'Freak Off' referring to sex parties, according to testimony in a Manhattan court on Friday. In the federal sex-trafficking and racketeering trial, an anonymous witness, identified as "Jane," informed the jury that she contacted the performers separately to join the couple's 'freak offs,' what she termed "hotel nights" during late 2021 and early 2022. She explained that the Bad Boys Records founder, whom she dated for three years until his arrest in September 2024, was attracted to the performers after viewing their content, New York Post reported. She described reaching out to "Cabral" and "Antoine" via Instagram, once whilst under the influence of ecstasy. She detailed their viewing of Cabral's content and subsequent discussions about his physical attributes. 'We watched a few of Cabral's videos back-to-back and we just started talking about Cabral and his size and everything' Jane said during Combs' federal sex-trafficking and racketeering trial. The encounters involved intimate activities, with Jane performing whilst Combs observed. Subsequently, she engaged "Antoine" multiple times for similar arrangements, though the compensation details weren't disclosed. These activities were performed to gain Combs' approval, later evolving into virtual interactions. She stated that Combs requested explicit imagery from the performers. These encounters are crucial to the prosecution's case against the 55-year-old Combs, who faces potential life imprisonment if found guilty of the charges he denies. Jane's previous testimony detailed alleged abuse and coerced intimate encounters. She stated these sessions lasted between 24 to 30 hours from May 2021 to October 2023. The anonymous social media personality is expected to continue testifying for approximately five more days as the trial continues into its fifth week.
