In 2012, Jordan was arrested after a drunken argument with two women outside a hotel in Omaha. He was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and obstructing justice, then released. Jordan later pled no contest to disturbing the peace and paid a fine of $250 plus court costs.Jordan opened a high-end sneaker store named the "Trophy Room" in May 2016. Located in the Disney Springs retail area of Disney World in Orlando, Florida, the store closed and the business transitioned to online-only sales three years later.In 2022, he began a relationship with Larsa Pippen.

College Jordan played college basketball at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida.
