Larsa Pippen and her romantic life with Marcus Jordan has been a hot topic of discussion ever since the couple made their relationship official. For those unaware, Marcus is the son of her ex-husband Scottie’s former Bulls teammate Michael Jordan.
The Assyrian-American socialite was married to Scottie for 21 years before filing for divorce in 2018. They tied the knot in 1997 when she was 23, and he was 32. The ex-couple have four children: Scotty Jr, Preston, Justin, and Sophia.
Larsa filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences” and their amicable separation was finalized in December 2021. Six months later, the reality star began dating her new beau Marcus and they’ve stayed together roughly for over a year and a half.
