Larsa Pippen reveals she’s open to dating non-famous man months after Marcus Jordan split
Larsa Pippen, the ex-wife of NBA legend Scottie Pippen and former girlfriend of Marcus Jordan, the son of basketball icon Michael Jordan, revealed that she is open to dating someone who is not a public figure.
When asked via Instagram if she would consider dating someone who isn’t famous, Pippen simply replied:
"Yes."
Larsa and Scottie tied the knot in 1997, but their relationship hit several rough patches, leading to their separation in December 2021. Her next notable relationship was with Marcus Jordan, despite their 16-year age difference. After nearly two years of an on-and-off relationship, Larsa and Marcus confirmed their breakup earlier this year.
Larsa and Marcus had a rocky relationship. After their breakup this year, she said:
"I just think we are on a different journey, and I feel like I have to be true to who I am, what I’m doing, and what he’s doing. I want him to be happy. He’s a great guy, but I just don’t feel like it’s for me." [via Yahoo Sports].
Throughout 2023, there were constant rumors of an engagement between the two, though both Larsa and Marcus denied it. Marcus even shared that if they did get married, he wanted his father to be his best man.
Larsa Pippen says relationship with Marcus Jordan not a big deal for Scottie Pippen
In a July interview with ET, Larsa Pippen downplayed the significance of her relationship with Marcus Jordan, clarifying it wasn’t as big a deal for Scottie Pippen as people might have assumed given that he is the son of her ex-husband’s former teammate.
"My ex and I don’t really discuss our relationships. We mostly focus on our kids," she said. "I feel like people thought [my relationship with Marcus] was a bigger deal in our families than it really was. I promise you, it wasn’t."
She also said that after being on and off for a while, her relationship with Marcus was officially over.
"I think it’s off. I mean, it’s off, it is off," Larsa said. "I feel like I’m good. I’m good."
Now single, Larsa said that her attention has shifted entirely to her children. Larsa Pippen shares four kids with Scottie: Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin and Sophia.
"I’m spending this summer focusing on my kids, friends, and family," she said. "I just need to enjoy it and figure out what Larsa wants."
Meanwhile, it remains unconfirmed whether Marcus is in a relationship with anyone.
