Marcus Jordan reveals plan to have Michael Jordan as best man in wedding with Larsa Pippen
Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen don't hide their intention to get married and it appears that if this happens, Michael Jordan will be their best man.
Marcus recently revealed:
"I was the best man at his wedding, and the best man at my brother’s wedding, so obviously, we’ll keep the tradition going," Jordan told Pablo Torres, via Men's Health.
For her part, Larsa Pippen tries to avoid paying attention to what people say about her relationship with Marcus Jordan and instead focuses on being happy with her boyfriend.
"It’s awkward. It’s weird. I get it. But to us, it’s not weird. It’s probably weird to the world because our last names are known to basketball history. Aesthetically it probably doesn’t look good. Just to hear of it, it doesn’t resonate well with people," Larsa Pippen said, via the New York Post.
“I feel like we are really comfortable talking about us. I feel like our families just want us to be happy… No one’s really affected by our relationship to be honest with you.”
That said, it remains to be seen how their relationship will evolve amid a great deal of public attention.
