Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan have been in a relationship for months, and the couple has received all sorts of criticism from fans. While the two have planned quite a lot for their future, the couple is yet to face the reaction from their families. Marcus, son Michael Jordan, did talk about his father’s reaction to him dating Larsa. While all seemed well, the truth turned out to be different.
The reason behind people raising their eyebrows over the two is their age gap and Larsa’s past. Larsa is the ex-wife of Scottie Pippen, as the two were married for almost 20 years. Their divorce was finalized in 2021, following which Larsa went on to date a few guys before getting together with Marcus.
Marcus, 32, was friends with Larsa, who is 48, for about four years. The 16-year age gap between the two stood out when their dating rumors were revealed. As the news reached the Jordan household, things weren’t as smooth.
Michael Jordan does not approve of his son dating Larsa Pippen
In a recent episode of Separation Anxiety with Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan podcast, Marcus talked about his family’s reaction to his new partner. “I just think there was some shock value to the fact that we were dating. Caught maybe some people on my side of the family off guard a little bit”, said Marcus. Dating the ex-wife of his father’s former teammate was shocking news for sure.
Though MJ never really gave a public reaction to this, he recently did answer a concerning question. As Michael was leaving a restaurant in Paris, he was asked whether he approved of Marcus dating Larsa. To this, Jordan replied, “No.”. While this was his first-ever take on his son’s relationship, Marcus had already caught his family off-guard when he shared the news.
Regardless, the two are in a serious relationship and have admitted to being open to marriage in the future. They’ve been dating for quite some time now, and will possibly get married in the future. Larsa and Marcus recently organized a charity basketball match which seemed to strengthen their relationship in public.
As the two continue to be in a relationship, there will definitely be questions about Michael’s take on his son dating Larsa, though nothing really changes the outcome. Though, it will be interesting to see what the couple has planned for their future.
