Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen
Marcus Jordan (32) has been in a romantic relationship with Larsa Pippen (49), the ex-wife of NBA legend Scottie Pippen. Despite the couple's 16-year age gap, they have claimed to be happily in love. However, this relationship has raised a few eyebrows and disapproval from people, including Michael Jordan himself.
