In a recent episode of Barstool Sports, Larsa Pippen talked about having children with Michael Jordan's son, Chicago Bulls player, Marcus Jordan:

"I feel like if I was to be with someone, like I am now, that didn't have kids, I feel like if he wanted to have kids, I would be up for it."

Pippen has four children with her ex-husband, Scottie Pippen, who also played for the Chicago Bulls. As per Marca, the pair split up in 2016 and confirmed separation in 2022.

Pippen met Marcus Jordan in September 2022, and the pair confirmed their relationship in January 2023. She also reportedly hinted at marrying Marcus during a talk with E News on Monday, where she opened up about her views on marriage:

"I like being married. I liked marriage. I feel like it's great to be able to build with someone, plan the future with someone. And so marriage, to me, is kind of important."

Pippen also revealed to US Weekly in an exclusive interview that as she nears menopause, she has made the decision to freeze her eggs as an "insurance policy" for her and Marcus.

"I'm really happy with my four kids, but I feel like it wouldn't be fair for me to not give Marcus that opportunity if we wanted to have kids."

Her announcement of having kids with the Chicago Bulls player was slammed online as netizens took to comment on The Shade Room's post about Pippen's decision. One even said that they felt Pippen having kids with Jordan would not "be a good decision" as it seemed like "a "payback" relationship on both their parts."
