Marcus Jordan is making waves on social media after he was spotted being cozy with another ex-wife of a popular star of the 1990s and 2000s. After ending his relationship with Scottie Pippen's ex-wife Larsa, Marcus has shifted his focus to Nicole Murphy, ex-wife of comedian and actor Eddie Murphy.
A video shared on Friday on X (formerly Twitter) by The Shade Room shows Jordan and Murphy at a club, first having a chat while sitting close to each other, with Nicole touching Marcus' chest and shoulder. Then, the video switches to the former college basketball player dancing and hugging Nicole while she leans and hugs him.
Fans had a lot to say about this, with some joking about Marcus Jordan 'trading' wives, first dating Larsa Pippen and now being very close to Nicole Murphy.

Marcus Jordan and Nicole Murphy first spotted at golf event
According to People, Jordan and Murphy were first spotted hanging out together at the second edition of the We the Best Foundation x Jordan Golf Classic in Miami on Friday, Dec. 6. The event was organized by DJ Khaled.
They later went to Club E11EVEN, the place where the viral video was recorded. It's unclear if they knew each other before this event, especially since Marcus arrived at the event two days before Nicole.
Nicole Murphy, 56, announced eight months ago that her partner of about a year, actor Warren Braithwaite, had died. Per Essence, Braithwaite died following a battle with cancer. She was married to Eddie Murphy from 1993 to 2005 and had five kids together, Myles, 32, Bria, 35, Shayne, 30, Zola, 24 and Bella, 22.
Neither Marcus Jordan nor Murphy has yet to comment on the matter.
