Larsa Pippen has reportedly split from Marcus Jordan.
Scottie Pippen’s 49-year-old ex-wife struck up a romance last year with Marcus, 33, the son of her ex-husband’s former Chicago Bulls teammate Michael Jordan. The pair were said to be in a serious relationship, with Marcus giving her a promise ring but now reports claim the pair parted ways due to “tensions”.
A source told New York Post columnist PageSix: “They are not together… (They) are estranged from each other (due to) tensions.”
The report, which comes after Larsa deleted all photos of Marcus from her social media accounts, suggests the “tension” between them stems from Marcus’ basketball legend father Michael publicly condemning the incident problems after the relationship.
When asked if he approved of his son’s romance, Michael told TMZ: “No.”
Larsa later revealed she was “embarrassed” and “hurt” by the remark, but reportedly cleared the air with the sports legend.
However, PageSix reports that these problems never really went away. The source added: “Marcus said Michael was joking when he said he disagreed, but it really mortified Larsa.
“The history between Michael and Scotty complicates things even though Larsa and Marcus try their best to make it less of an issue… They each have a baseline loyalty that makes this Relationships are difficult to navigate.”
During an episode of Larsa’s “Separation Anxiety” podcast, she discussed the drama with Michael, saying: “I do understand that it’s not awkward for us to be together because it’s us, but for my ex and yours It can be awkward for the dad because they have their own relationship or whatever it is.
“I had no part in it and you had no part in it. So, I feel like it might be weird to them, it might be weird to your dad. I can’t be angry. I understand.”
