Larsa Pippen discussed her romantic relationship with Marcus Jordan during an interview with Tamron Hall, earlier this week. Appearing on her talk show, Pippen explained that she never “planned” to date Marcus and that it’s something that “just happened.” Their relationship comes after Larsa split with her ex, Scottie Pippen, who was teammates with Marcus' father, Michael Jordan, on the Chicago Bulls.
“Age doesn’t determine your level of maturity,” Larsa, who is 48, explained on the show. Marcus is 16 years younger than her at 32 years old. Larsa also addressed how Scottie feels about the relationship. “That’s how Scottie feels. He has a right to the way he feels,” she said. “I personally don’t really care about what other people … I live my truth, I’m happy.”

Larsa also confirmed that she's been hanging out with Michael Jordan, but downplayed the significance of that. “I’ve recently been hanging out with them, but I don’t really want to talk about them. I feel like it’s not about, you know, my parents or his parents — they’re all happy; our whole family’s fine,” she admitted. “Everyone’s fine. When you’re an adult, your parents just want to see you happy. We’ve spent holidays together. We’re in a great place.”
As for whether she and Scottie have discussed the relationship, she said that they're focused on parenting. “The only conversations we have are based on our kids,” she said. “I don’t ask him who he’s dating, he doesn’t ask me who I’m dating. As long as my kids are happy … my kids love Marcus. We travel together, my kids really enjoy spending time with him. I feel like I’m in a great place and that’s the most important thing.”
Larsa and Scottie were married from 1997 through 2021. They share four children together: Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin, and Sophia. The couple first split in 2016 but reconciled soon afterward. Two years later they began the official separation process. Check out Larsa's discussion with Tamron Hall below.
