Larsa Pippen has faced considerable criticism for her connection with Marcus Jordan, the son of basketball icon Michael Jordan. Many find the 16-year age difference between the reality TV star and the “Trophy Room” founder unsettling. Adding to the complexity, Michael Jordan, Marcus’ dad, was also a longtime teammate of her ex-husband, Scottie Pippen, during their Chicago Bulls days.

Two years ago in 2022, Jalen Rose, who competed against both Pippen and Jordan during his time with the Indiana Pacers in the NBA, offered insights into Larsa’s intricate situation. The basketball player turned analyst brought a distinctive perspective to the matter, having been acquainted with both Pippen’s ex-wife and Jordan’s son.

Reposting a clip on popular social media platform, X (formerly known as Twitter), he wrote about the fallout between Scottie Pippen and Jordan. Rose said:

Everyone thinks that Scottie’s so upset about Michael Jordan and what happened with him and the Bulls. But now, I think there might be more to that. Because there are rumors and now there are pictures that she is now, I’ll say hanging out with Michael Jordan‘s son, Marcus. And you don’t need me to explain the history between Scottie and Michael. We all saw the Last Dance.

He went on to say:

Certain relationships used to be off-limits. I, on paper, want everybody to be happy and to live their best life. But the best thing I can say for her is, she should see him as more of a nephew than a mate.

Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan relationship heading in the right direction

Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan’s relationship appears to be getting stronger as the days go by. Speculation surrounding their relationship started circulating in 2022, and since then, the duo has solidified their connection. Recent reports even hint at their intention to take the next step by moving in together.

The couple has faced a lot of criticism but it hasn’t stopped them from expressing their affection towards each other publicly. They spoke on “Watch What Happens Live” with Andy Cohen:

Looking at rings. We’ve been shopping. We’ve been ruling out certain stones, and we’re heading in that direction. I would say it’s in the works

Hence, it appears as though Marcus might be on the verge of getting hitched. Of course, the 18-year age gap aside, there are a range of other reasons why they have been firmly in the spotlight.
