At 32 years old, Marcus Jordan has the freedom to make his own choices. However, it’s hard to deny that his relationship with Larsa Pippen, the wife of his father’s famous teammate, is a bit unusual. It’s unlikely that many people would approve of the situation, and one can only imagine how Scottie Pippen’s children must feel. When asked for his thoughts on the matter, Michael Jordan’s response was not surprising. He has shared his perspective on his son’s relationship with Larsa Pippen.
Per TMZ, MJ was recently asked by paparazzi if he approves of his 32-year-old dating 48-year-old Larsa Pippen, who finalized her divorce with Jordan’s former Chicago Bulls teammate Scottie Pippen last year. When he was first asked the question, he laughed. But when pressed for more, he replied, “No!” He later shook his head when he was asked another time.
Larsa and Marcus’ relationship has raised some eyebrows for some time now, but it’s not because of the 16-year age gap. Michael Jordan has a complicated history with Scottie Pippen, with whom he led the Bulls to several NBA championship victories during their time on the team. Over the years, however, they’ve had a falling out and no longer see eye-to-eye.
Marcus Jordan has said that there have been conversations about having kids, too. “When we go and we meet people, or I’m introducing you to some of my friends, or you introduce me to some of your friends I feel like it gets brought up,” he shared. “But I feel like we’ve never had a one-on-one, private conversation about having children. It’s one of those things where I think time will tell, you know?”
It has been reported that Larsa Pippen wishes to be referred to as Larsa Pippen-Jordan and desires to have children with Marcus. This news may be distressing for Scottie. Additionally, Jordan has made it clear that he does not endorse the relationship.
