Bruno Mars’ The Romantic Tour is his first world tour in nearly a decade, and even Michael Jordan took some time out to attend his concert at the San Siro Stadium in Milan on Wednesday. Jordan seemed to be enjoying himself at the event, and it turns out he even linked up with Mars backstage.
Mars shared a picture of them holding cigars backstage on Instagram on Thursday, and called Jordan the GOAT.
“Backstage In Milan with THE GOAT,” Mars wrote.

This was a rare public appearance by Jordan, and he was joined by his wife, Yvette Prieto, at the concert. The couple, who got married on April 27, 2013, have been vacationing together in Europe for about a month, and according to Bleacher Report, this is the end of their Italian getaway.

Jordan, who won six titles, six Finals MVPs, five MVPs, one DPOY, and 10 scoring titles, retired way back in 2003, but his popularity has only grown as time has gone by. A lot of eyes were on the 63-year-old at this concert, and that tends to be the case wherever he goes.
Jordan and Prietto were first spotted together in Kefalonia, Greece, in June. He then made his way to Sicily, Italy, later that month. Jordan arrived in the waters of Villagonia Bay on his $115 million yacht, “M’BRACE.” That was the third time he had visited Sicily, and he sure seems to enjoy spending time in that part of the world.
We don’t know what Jordan is going to be up to next, but we do know Mars’ schedule. The 16-time Grammy winner will be performing at Wembley Stadium in London on July 18, 19, 22, 24, 25, and 28. The tour began in Las Vegas on April 10, 2026, and will end in Tokyo on Jan. 28, 2027.
