Anything and everything that they do or say makes it to the headlines and garner significant attention from fans. Their relationship seems to be going well as the wedding bells are expected to ring anytime soon.
Pippen recently shed light on the secret to her successful relationship with Jordan, after a highly publicized divorce from Bulls star Scottie Pippen. In an interview with Gibson Johns, Pippen revealed that the secret is their strong bond as friends first. It is no secret that Pippen seems happier than ever as she is in a relationship with Marcus.
She continued, “We already know each other, we already know what we like [and] what we don’t like about each other. So, you already know what you signed up for from the very beginning”. Their secret to a successful relationship left fans amused and inspired. Notably, the first time the two met was back in 2019, and the rumors of them dating swirled in September 2022.
Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen have faced plenty of backlash for their relationship
It is undeniable that Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen have been at the receiving end of extreme backlash for numerous reasons. The famous feud between Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan has acted like an intriguing background to their brewing love. Larsa is the former wife of Scottie, and Marcus is the son of the legendary Michael.
Not only fans, but other notable celebrities and former NBA players are uncomfortable with Larsa and Marcus being in a relationship. Furthermore, the significant age gap of 16 years between them has only made the situation more complex. Even though they are consistently in the face of backlash, Larsa strongly believes that she should be able to date whoever she wants to.

On the other hand, Marcus has stated that he doesn’t need the approval of his dad, Michael when it comes to his dating life.

Additionally, Scottie has maintained his silence about her ex-wife being in a relationship with his former teammate’s son.
Furthermore, the rumors of Larsa and Marcus being engaged also received backlash. Fans could not help but draw a connection between how another Jordan needs Pippen for a ring. The engagement rumors were settled down by the couple, but they revealed wedding plans. Fans await to see how their wedding unfolds whenever they are ready to walk down the aisle.
