"I haven’t hung out with his dad" - Larsa Pippen reveals she hasn't interacted with Michael Jordan since she started dating Marcus Jordan
Although Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan's relationship has continued to make headlines, the ex-wife of six-time champ Scottie Pippen hasn't hung out with Michael Jordan recently. Despite the fact that Larsa has said that she and Marcus do everything together, spending time with Marcus' father hasn't been on the agenda.
During a recent appearance on Whine Down with Jana Kramer, Larsa Pippen explained that she hasn't hung out with Jordan while dating his son:
"No, I haven’t hung out with his dad. ... I've only hung out with his mom."
As Larsa explained, the Jordan family is incredibly private. Despite that, and the recent comments that Jordan made to paparazzi while leaving a restaurant, behind the scenes, the Hall of Famer is reportedly supportive of the relationship.
After spending the holiday's with Marcus last year, only time will tell whether Larsa has the chance to hang out with Marcus' father this year for the holidays.
Larsa Pippen’s rocky past with Michael Jordan this year
While Larsa Pippen and Michael Jordan may not have hung out since she began dating MJ’s son, there was recently some tension in the family. As previously mentioned, while leaving a restaurant recently, a member of the paparazzi asked Jordan whether or not he approved of the relationship.
As he passed by, Jordan laughed before then saying no. The response earned plenty of attention on social media, with wild theories flying about the relationship, and Jordan’s disapproval.
During a recent episode of their Separation Anxiety podcast, the duo spoke about the situation, with Larsa Pippen stating that she wasn’t too pleased by MJ’s remarks. As she explained, she was “traumatized” by the incident, and didn’t find it funny whatsoever.:
"I kinda felt like it went everywhere and I was kind of embarrassed.”
As Marcus went on to explain, MJ texted him to let him know that he does approve of the relationship. As he went on to theorize, alcohol may have played a part in his father’s decision to say that he disapproves of the relationship.
Fortunately, after talking things through, it seems to be water under the bridge for everyone involved.
As Marcus concluded, at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter whether or not his father approves of his relationship.
“I can make my own decisions, he doesn’t need to approve who I date or my personal relationships. He’s gonna love me no matter what,” he explained. “I think that’s what the takeaway was from the conversation, but of course no one sees that, they just see the headlines.”
