Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan initially crossed paths at a Los Angeles party in 2019 through mutual friends. News of their connection in September 2022 garnered polarizing reactions, due to Pippen's previous marriage to Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan's former teammate.

Who is Larsa Pippen?
Larsa Pippen is Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen's ex-wife. They have four children together, Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin and Sophia, and they have joint custody of them. She was born to Assyrian parents and raised in Chicago, Illinois. Her mother is from Lebanon and her father is from Syria.
From an early age, Larsa always had the burning desire to establish herself as a business titan. She achieved this goal by earning a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Illinois.
Larsa and Scottie Pippen got married in 1997 when Scottie was playing in Chicago. After nearly 20 years of marriage, they split in 2016 but then reconciled in 2018. However, they soon separated and filed for divorce, which was officially finalized in December 2021. Her attorney, David Glass, issued a statement to People Magazine:
"All issues were resolved amicably. The parties are now focusing successfully coparenting their remaining minor children."
In August 2020, Mrs. Pippen launched a high-end jewelry line, Larsa Marie, which sells exclusively from Los Angeles. According to the company's website,
"They cater to all women with a goal of giving them affordable luxury direct to their door" and their items focus on "empowering women to feel like their best selves."
The product line features several varieties of earrings, bracelets, necklaces and rings.
In an interview with Harper's Bazaar's Vietnam issue in August 2021, she spoke about her jewelry line:
"I've always been in love with jewelry. The jewelry business is a tough industry so I don't have room for error. I go to bed, I wake up, I sketch something. I put so much energy into it, so much love into it."
In a somewhat awkward turn of events, Larsa began a relationship with Marcus Jordan in late 2022. Apart from being 17 years younger than Larsa, Marcus is also the son of Michael Jordan, a former teammate of Scottie Pippen on the Bulls.
