Michael Jordan is a new dad again after all these years... x2!

Victoria and Ysabel are the first children for Yvette, and the fourth and fifth for Michael, who's also dad to Jeffrey, 25, Marcus, 22, and Jasmine, 21, with former wife Juanita Vanoy.

Yvette and Michael started dating six years ago, got married last April and announced their pregnancy in November—they didn't, however, reveal they were having twins.

Michael actually turns 51 next week—something tells me it's going to be a busy birthday. Happy Birthday, Michael!
