Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan: a story of complicated relationships, full of unexpected twists
5 february 2025 в 20:13
Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan had a widely discussed relationship with periods of discord.
After a passionate romance that began in 2022 and lasted about a year and a half, something went wrong. In February 2024, on Super Bowl Sunday, the star of the reality show «Real Housewives of Miami» deleted all photos of Marcus from her Instagram and unfollowed him, which he reciprocated. However, just a few days later, they were seen together again on Valentine’s Day, leaving fans puzzled.
In addition to the ups and downs of their relationship, Larsa and Marcus' romance always attracted significant attention. Larsa, who was previously married to NBA legend Scottie Pippen — a former teammate of Michael Jordan on the Chicago Bulls, faced additional attention due to the age difference between her and Michael’s son. Despite the criticism, however, the couple managed to thrive, often showing their love in public and growing closer over time.
In fact, she praised him in February 2023 in an interview with PEOPLE. «For me, I just could never be open and open to different guys», - she told the publication about her relationships before finding love with Marcus. «I found flaws in every guy… I had all these weird things, and then, Marcus comes down from the heavens. And I’m like, I like everything about him».
She also explained that because of their attachment, she wanted to make him happy. «I feel like I always joke and say, 'Oh my God, if Marcus tells me to dye my hair green, I’ll do it'», - she said at the time. «Just because I feel like I should make him happy, because he makes me so happy».
Let’s look at the full timeline of Larsa and Marcus' relationship.
This contrasting couple first became linked on September 4, 2022, appearing at lunch at the famous Japanese restaurant Zuma in Miami. TMZ reported at the time that it was a double date, with another couple joining them. According to the publication, Larsa «tried to keep a low profile and got a little flustered when she realized people were noticing her/taking pictures».
Later that same month, also according to TMZ, they were seen at the Rolling Loud music festival in New York, embracing.
Although it was clear they had a physical attraction, Larsa denied mass rumors of dating the following month. «We're friends», - she told PEOPLE at BravoCon last year about Marcus. «We've been friends for a few years, and that’s what it is. We’re friends».
During that winter period, it seemed like the relationship was heating up, as the former college athlete appeared at the RHOM premiere party as Larsa’s obvious companion. Daily Mail shared photos from December 8, where Larsa was in a shiny mini dress with a cutout, and Marcus wore a bright orange and black shirt. Nothing special!
A few days later, she again denied dating rumors during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. «We're friends», - she categorically told Andy Cohen during the December 12 episode.
These denials of dating became a bit harder to maintain when Larsa and Marcus were spotted kissing during a romantic walk on Miami Beach on January 7, 2023. She was in a sexy Jean-Paul Gaultier swimsuit and matching black shorts when she leaned in for a tender kiss, and Marcus wore matching black tank top and shorts — and a hat with the Air Jordan logo on the sides.
This gesture confirmed what fans had suspected for months — Larsa and Marcus were together!
Larsa finally made it all public on January 23, 2023, with a photo of the couple cuddling during a trip to a sports shoe store. After the couple became official on Instagram, a source told PEOPLE a few days later: «They are definitely interested in each other».
Marcus made their first Valentine’s Day together especially romantic
