Larsa Pippen Opens Up: The Real Reason Behind Her Split with Marcus Jordan
"Love in the Shadows of a Basketball Legacy: Larsa Pippen Spills on Marcus Jordan Split"
The drama never ends when it comes to Larsa Pippen, and the latest season of The Real Housewives of Miami is no exception! In the premiere episode, the 50-year-old TV personality opened up about her tumultuous romance with Marcus Jordan, son of NBA icon Michael Jordan. Their rollercoaster relationship had everyone talking, from their nearly 20-year age gap to Marcus's connection to Larsa's ex-husband Scottie Pippen.
As fans watched on RHOM, Larsa revealed the real reason she finally ended things with Marcus for good: her four kids gave her the strength to walk away. "When I was with Marcus, my kids were like, 'Stop getting back together and breaking up, and just get off the ride.' That's when I was like, I need to get away from this situation - my kids think it's not good for me," she shared with her mom.
But what really sealed the deal for Larsa was seeing a side of Marcus that didn't align with who she is as a person. "We went from being in love and getting along to me seeing a side of him that didn't really align with who I am as a person. When we would go out, he would want to be the last person in the club. Like, there's no one there but the janitors," she said, giggling.
The mother-of-four also dished about how Marcus's behavior changed after their split. "I fought everyone to be with this guy, and then it was not a good situation for me and my family, so I had to remove myself from it. But doing what's best for me and my family ended up pissing him off so bad that he'd send me really bad messages and reach out to my friends and say hurtful things about me - it was just bad," she revealed in a confessional.
The drama didn't stop there, folks! Larsa also touched on her friendship with castmate Lisa Hochstein, which has been strained since the two exes' split. "That's really what annoys me a lot, the Lisa thing. Because like, if I tell my friends I'm going through a lot with this person and I just want to move forward and remove a toxic person from my life, and you can't understand that as my friend... I feel like that's kind of why I'm mad at her," Larsa stated.
But don't worry, folks - Larsa has moved on and is currently dating Jeff Colby, another young athlete who is 20 years her junior. As for Marcus, he's been keeping busy with his own personal struggles, including a cocaine possession arrest in January 2025 after he drunkenly got his Lamborghini stuck on a train track in Florida.
As the drama unfolded on RHOM, fans couldn't help but wonder what really went down behind closed doors. "I don't want to have to address it. It's so embarrassing," Larsa admitted, her voice shaking with emotion. But one thing is for sure - this reality TV veteran isn't afraid to speak her truth and dish out the tea!
