Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen.
CLOUDMiami love! Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan‘s budding romance has continued to heat up.
The 48-year-old Real Housewives of Miami stars and Michael Jordan‘s 32-year-old son was spotted kissing on January 7, in a photo taken by Page Six. Pippen and Marcus were twins in coordinating black ensembles as they cuddled up outside the W Hotel South Beach in Miami.
Us Weekly exclusively confirmed in September 2022 that the Bravo star – who shares four children with her ex-husband Scottie Pippen – dating the founder of Trophy Room.
“Marcus and Larsa are dating and have been spending more time together in recent weeks,” the insider said us in time. “He’s trying to stay down because of the rift between Scottie and Michael.”
Scottie, 57, and Michael, 59, are former basketball teammates, playing for the Chicago Bulls in the 1980s and 1990s. However, his sportsmanship eventually faded after the Arkansas native accused the retired shooting guard of recalling his NBA contributions in The Last Dance documentary, which debuts on Netflix in 2020.
“He glorified Michael Jordan while not giving nearly enough credit to me and my proud teammates,” Scottie wrote in his book. Not guarded memoir, which will be published in November 2021. “Michael deserves the blame. The producers have given him editorial control of the final product. Doc cannot be released otherwise. He is the leader and the director.”
He added at the time: “I was expecting more. When I was first told about it over a year ago, I couldn’t wait, knowing it would feature rare footage.
Michael has not spoken publicly about Scottie’s allegations about their tenure together at the Bulls or their content The Last Dance.
In the midst of his basketball success, Scottie married designer Larsa Marie in July 1997. The duo – who split in November 2018 – share children Scotty Jr., 21, Preston, 20, Justin, 17, and Sophia, 13. Now-exes ‘ the divorce was finalized in January 2022, shortly before Larsa teased us what he is looking for in a partner.
“It’s almost like a nurse and a doctor — if you’re a nurse and you’ve worked in a hospital, you’re more likely to have a friend who’s a doctor,” she told us exclusively in January. “So, I feel like I’ve been in the basketball world for so long that I feel like I’m just surrounded by this world. Not what I was looking for. It’s just there, you know?”
Neither Larsa nor Marcus have publicly addressed their romance but have been spotted canoodling several times.
