The Secret Romance of Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan: A Timeline of Their Relationship

From September 2022 to June 2023, Larsa Pippen and Michael Jordan's son Marcus Jordan were spotted together multiple times, sparking rumors of a possible relationship Here's a timeline of their alleged romance

Larsa Pippen seems to have found a new companion in her life, and it's none other than entrepreneur Marcus Jordan. However, the two are being cautious and keeping their relationship private. Dating rumors first began to circulate after the former Real Housewives of Miami star and Marcus were spotted having lunch in September 2022. According to an exclusive source, the couple has been spending more time together recently and is trying to keep their relationship under wraps due to the ongoing tension between Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan.

In November 2022, the couple was once again seen enjoying a relaxed day at the beach. Prior to her relationship with Malik, Larsa was married to Scottie, a former Chicago Bulls player who played alongside Michael Jordan, the father of Marcus. While the two basketball legends had a close relationship during their careers in the 80s and 90s, a rivalry eventually developed between them. In his memoir "Unguarded," released in November 2021, Scottie expressed his disappointment with Michael for downplaying their shared NBA history in his documentary "The Last Dance."

Scottie expressed his disappointment in the lack of recognition for himself and his team, stating that while Michael Jordan was glorified, he deserved a significant portion of the blame for the documentary's portrayal. With editorial control and the role of both leading man and director, the final product could not have been released without his involvement. Scottie and Larsa were married for 18 years before their split in 2015, briefly reconciling in 2017 before ultimately divorcing due to irreconcilable differences in 2018. The former couple share four children: Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin, and Sophia.

The founder of Larsa Marie disclosed to Us in January 2021 that she is making an effort to steer clear of dating athletes. She compared it to the dynamic between a nurse and a doctor, where people tend to develop friendships with those in their professional circle. Having been immersed in the basketball world for a significant amount of time, she expressed feeling surrounded by it. Although she does not actively seek out athletes, she acknowledged that they are often present in her social circle. Going forward, she stated that she is definitely trying to avoid getting involved with athletes.

Larsa Pippen and Michael Jordan’s Son Marcus Jordan’s Relationship Timeline

Larsa Pippen seems to have found a new romantic interest in Marcus Jordan, and the two are making an effort to keep their relationship under the radar. The speculation about their dating started after they were spotted having lunch together in September 2022. According to an exclusive source, they have been spending more time together lately and are indeed dating. However, they are trying to keep their romance private due to the tension between Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan.

In November 2022, the pair were once again seen enjoying a relaxing day at the beach together. It's worth noting that Larsa had been married to Scottie, who was a well-known player for the Chicago Bulls and had played alongside Michael, Marcus's father. Although the two basketball legends had a close relationship during their time in the NBA, tensions arose between them over time. In fact, in Scottie's memoir, Unguarded, which was released in November 2021, he expressed his disappointment with Michael for not giving their shared history enough attention in his documentary, The Last Dance.

According to Scottie, Michael Jordan received an excessive amount of praise in the documentary while his teammates were not recognized enough. Scottie also claimed that Michael had control over the final product as the leading man and director, ultimately deserving some of the blame. Scottie and his former partner, Larsa, were married for 18 years before their final split in 2018. The divorce was recently finalized in late 2021, and the couple shares four children together.

In a January 2021 interview with Us, the founder of Larsa Marie disclosed her intentions to steer clear of dating athletes. She likened it to the dynamic between nurses and doctors, explaining that due to her long-standing involvement in the basketball world, she naturally gravitates towards those in the industry. However, she clarified that she is not actively seeking out athletes and is making a conscious effort to avoid them in the future.
