Jalen Hurts’ 2025 got even better this week as he was spotted having dinner with Michael Jordan.
Hurts, who was named Super Bowl LIX MVP after he scored three touchdowns in the Eagles’ win over the Chiefs, has been signed to the NBA legend’s Jordan Brand since 2023.
And the pair were pH๏τographed spending some time together at Mary Lou’s in Palm Beach on Saturday, roughly a month after Philly’s blowout 40-22 win over Kansas City.
In the pH๏τo, which has surfaced on social media, Hurts – dressed in a tan jacket – appears to be engaging in conversation with Jordan while the former Bulls star listens.
The six-time NBA champion wore a light grey hoodie to the meal.
Hurts hasn’t been shy in representing the Jordan Brand (which is owned by Nike) in recent weeks, as his impressive Super Bowl performance came while he was wearing a pair of Air Jordan 11 PE cleats.

Jalen Hurts has been representing Jordan brand of late, both at the Eagles’ Super Bowl parade (left) and during the game itself, with his cleats
Aside from his brand, Jordan (seen in October) also owns a NASCAR team, 23XI Racing
At the subsequent parade, he also wore a ‘Love, Hurts’ hoodie from Jordan Brand, amid the company’s new campaign named for the quarterback.
The Eagles pᴀsser is one of several NFL stars signed to the company, including Maxx Crosby, Puka Nacua, Dak Prescott, Davante Adams and more.
The brand also sponsors the likes of Luka Doncic, Zion Williamson and Jayson Tatum in basketball.
Aside from his brand, Jordan also owns a NASCAR team, 23XI Racing.
However, 23XI and another team, Front Row Motorsports, have now been accused of being in an ”illegal cartel’ in a stunning countersuit from NASCAR.
The countersuit from NASCAR comes after 23XI and Front Row filed a joint anтιтrust lawsuit against the stock car series back in October after alleging that the new charter system – NASCAR’s equivalent of a franchise model that ᴀssures charter holders certain financial guarantees and a place in all 36 Cup Series races – limits compeтιтion by unfairly binding teams to the series, its tracks and its suppliers.

The two groups branded chairman Jim France and his family ‘monopolistic bullies’ in the suit while vowing to stand up to them and ‘refuse to be victims’.
However, NASCAR this week launched a counterclaim against 23XI, Front Row and Curtis Polk, a 23XI co-owner who has advised Jordan for decades.
In a 30-page filing, the organization contends that Polk ‘willfully’ violated anтιтrust laws by orchestrating anticompeтιтive collective conduct in connection with the most recent charter agreements, while accusing him of leading the alleged ‘illegal cartel’.
23XI and Front Row were the only two organizations out of 15 that refused to sign the new agreements, which were presented to the teams last September in a take-it-or-leave-it offer a mere 48 hours before the start of NASCAR’s playoffs.
