NBA legends Michael Jordan and Juanita Vanoy are giving their son’s relationship with Larsa Pippen a shot, according to the “Real Housewives of Miami” star.
Pippen talked about meeting Marcus Jordan during an appearance on the “Tamron Hall” show on Tuesday. She said she only met Marcus four years ago, despite that quite well known the relationship between their families.
The “Real Housewives” star married Scottie Pippen in 1997 and divorced him in 2021. They have four children. Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan, of course, were a legendary NBA duo during the Chicago Bulls dynasty of the 1990s.
Pippen told host Tamron Hall that her previous relationship with Scottie hasn’t affected her new relationship dynamic with Vanoy and Jordan the Elder.
Although she initially said she didn’t want to discuss her boyfriend’s famous parentage, Pippen eventually said, “Everybody’s happy, our whole family is fine.”
“When you’re an adult, I think your parents just want to see you happy,” she added. “My parents want to see me happy, his parents want to see him happy.”
Pippen also said he spent the holidays with Marcus’ family.
“Okay, we’re in a great place,” he said.
During the segment, Pippen, 48, also addressed the age difference with Marcus Jordan, 32, saying, “I feel like age doesn’t really determine your level of maturity.”
Scottie Pippen publicly discussed her complicated relationship with Michael Jordan, which she called “selfish” in her 2021 memoir, Unguarded. He told “Good Morning America” that year that his relationship with his then-’90s teammate “wasn’t what you saw on the field.”
“We will always have that mutual respect, but our friendship is not what people think it is [who] you see it on TV, I think it is,” she said.
Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan became Instagram official in January, even though dating rumors had been swirling for months.
On Valentine’s Day, the reality star Instagrammed a photo of herself and Marcus on a beach.
“My forever Valentine,” she captioned the post.
