(CNN) -- NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan has been off the court for years; now, he's off the market. The sports star is getting married again, his publicist Estee R. Portnoy confirmed to CNN on Thursday. Jordan and longtime girlfriend, Yvette Prieto, got engaged on Christmas Day, CNN affiliate WCNC reported. The couple has been seen at various high-profile public events in recent years, including the Kentucky Derby, golf outings and vacations. Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to six championships -- two three-peats -- in the 1990s, before finishing his career with the Washington Wizards in 2003. He retired twice -- the first time to play baseball, the second time to be with his family.

Marriage would be Jordan's second; he and Juanita Jordan divorced in 2006
Instead of a basketball wife, @placeholder enters the engagement largely as a golf wife, judging from her public appearances.
