Larsa Pippen addresses her relationship status with Marcus Jordan: "People want to label your relationship when they don't know what it is"
Larsa Pippen further addressed her relationship status with Marcus Jordan in an exclusive interview. Pippen and Jordan were rumored to be dating after being spotted multiple times in different locations. Larsa is the ex-wife of Scottie Pippen, while Marcus is the second son of Michael Jordan.
In an interview with Page Six, Larsa explained that she’s just friends with Marcus after reconnecting a couple of years ago, adding that she's "just dating right now and having fun." She also called out the people who labeled her relationship even though they had no idea about it.
"We are friends," Larsa said. "We've been friends for the last couple of years and I'm in a place right now where I’m finally open to dating. Every time I'm seen out with someone, (people) make it out to be more than it actually is, and it's normally nothing. So, yeah, I'm just dating right now and focusing on my businesses, my family, and having fun.
"People want to label your relationship when they don’t know what it is. But I don't really care what other people think."
Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan were first spotted together in September, having lunch in Miami with some friends. It was revealed at the time by TMZ Sports that the two were just friends.
However, things got interesting when Larsa and Marcus were caught having an intimate dinner date at a New York City restaurant. They were then seen together at a Miami party before taking a beach trip.
The rumored couple even attended an NFL game between the Kansas City Chiefs and LA Rams last month. One fan was caught on video heckling Larsa and Marcus, which went viral.
"Hey Larsa, that's what you're doing?" the fan said. "You're with the boy, Mike's son? You a cold motherf**ker, ain't you! You're cold as a motherf**ker, homie."

Larsa Pippen revealed that her family was never close to the Jordan family
A few days after they were heckled by a fan in an NFL game, Larsa Pippen shed some light on the relationship between her family and the Jordans. She told The Shade Room that their families were never close, even though Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were longtime teammates with the Chicago Bulls.
"I just met him three years ago," Larsa wrote on The Shade Room's post. "I never knew him or his family. I was 21 years old and in college when Scottie played that one year with MJ and we weren't friends with them like everyone thinks."
Larsa Pippen's comments make sense since Scottie Pippen revealed in his memoir "Unguarded" last year that he was never close to Michael Jordan. Scottie publicly admonished Jordan following the release of "The Last Dance" documentary a couple of years ago.
