Larsa Pippen Addresses Age Gap With Marcus Jordan On Tamron Hall Show

Larsa Pippen has recently addressed questions surrounding the 16-year age gap in her relationship with Marcus Jordan, the son of NBA legend Michael Jordan. The 48-year-old star of The Real Housewives of Miami, who was previously married to Scottie Pippen, has faced scrutiny over her relationship. During her appearance on The Tamron Hall Show, Larsa firmly shut down the notion that age should be an issue in their relationship.

What began as a friendship over four years has blossomed into love, and Larsa has consistently deflected inquiries about why she chose to be with Marcus, who has connections to her past life when she was married to Scottie. Larsa emphasized that their relationship developed naturally, stemming from their shared interests and time spent together.

In her interview on February 28, Larsa explained, "We're in a really good place. I feel like a lot of people think that we've known each other our whole lives, which we have not. We literally just met at a party four years ago and we were just friends." Their shared Chicago roots have helped them connect, as they discovered they had much in common.

When discussing the age difference, Larsa pointed out that she has previously dated older men, including her ex-husband Scottie, who is ten years her senior. She argued that maturity isn't solely determined by age, stating, "I don't feel like that determines if you're mature or not. I feel like if you can drink at 21, you can go to war at 18—there's different circumstances." Larsa's perspective highlights the importance of personal connection over societal expectations.

Larsa also addressed how the acclaimed docuseries The Last Dance affected her relationship with Marcus, noting the complexities that arose from Scottie Pippen's portrayal in the series. Despite any challenges posed by public perception, she maintained that her relationship with Marcus remains strong and unaffected.

While Larsa shares four children with Scottie, she expressed that her happiness is paramount. "I feel like I live my truth, I'm happy. I feel like we get along; he's my best friend," she shared. Pippen emphasized that she desires people to appreciate her happiness, crediting Marcus as a significant contributor to her well-being.

In conclusion, Larsa confirmed that the Jordan family is supportive of her relationship with Marcus, and they have spent quality time together. "When you're an adult, parents just want to see you happy," she stated, reinforcing the idea that love and happiness should take precedence over societal judgments. With Marcus, Larsa feels they're in a great place, motivating each other and enjoying their time together.
