Talk of Larsa Pippen-Marcus Jordan split continues to swirl
Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan have yet to issue an official statement on the current status of their relationship but the talk of their breakup continues to swirl.
However, the former wife of NBA legend Scottie Pippen quashed breakup rumors in an Instagram story she shared last month, saying that they are just taking some time off to gather their thoughts.
Larsa, 49, said:
"I think relationships are challenging, we live in three different places, and I feel like we never broke by the way guys. We didn't break up. We kind of needed to take a beat, gather our thoughts, and see if this relationship you know, what's gonna happen in the future."
She went on to say:
"It was like it's been a lot of time together and like this was the point of like either we're gonna be together and like get engaged or start looking at the next phase or breakup."
As per PEOPLE, Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan first met in 2019 at a party in Los Angeles. Their relationship blossomed in 2022 as they were constantly spotted together since, and even reportedly got engaged in the middle of last year until breakup rumors surfaced recently.
Pippen is 16 years older than Jordan. Before they got involved, she was married to six-time Chicago Bulls NBA champion Scottie Pippen for 24 years (divorced in 2021). They have three children together, sons Scotty Jr. and Preston and daughter Sophia.
Larsa is a businesswoman and one of the original cast members of The Real Housewives of Miami.
Her relationship with 33-year-old Marcus was reportedly frowned upon by the latter's father, NBA great Michael Jordan, who has yet to acknowledge the relationship publicly.
Still, Larsa Pippen said their families are supportive of their relationship and only wanted them to be happy.
