While speaking to Andscape in 2020, Jasmine described her dad as "so soft" and "super involved" as a grandfather. She also spoke about Jordan's reaction to becoming a first-time grandparent.
"It took him a minute to actually understand like, ‘Dang, I’m a grandpa,’" Jasmine shared. "He never wants to feel like he’s old, but he is a grandpa, and he loves it. He loves playing with his grandson and it’s something that I think he never knew he was gonna love as much as he does."
While Jasmine Jordan doesn't play basketball, she is connected to the sport through her dad's Jordan brand. Having studied sports management at Syracuse University, she was previously a basketball operations coordinator for the Hornets. Jasmine currently works as a field representative in sports marketing for the Jordan brand.
