Why Did Larsa Pippen & Marcus Jordan Break Up? His Dad Michael Reportedly ‘Incited’ It

Why Did Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan Break Up?

People were the first to report the breakup. The two sparked breakup rumors after Larsa deleted pictures of her and Marcus together on her Instagram.

Two sources talked to Page Six about the breakup. “They’re not together,” one source said. They added that they “are taking space from each other” due to the “tension” in their relationship, which was “incited” by Marcus’ dad, basketball player Michael Jordan, “publicly denouncing it.”

“Marcus said Michael was joking when he said he didn’t approve, but it really mortified Larsa,” the source continued adding that the fact that Michael was longtime teammates with Larsa’s ex Scottie Pippen.

“The history between Michael and Scottie made things complicated, even if Larsa and Marcus did their best to make it a non-issue,” the insider explains and added that “family comes before everything.”

“At the end of the day, Michael is Marcus’ dad and Scottie is the father of Larsa’s children,” the insider said.

“No one saw this coming,” the second source, who works in production on Real Housewives of Miami says of their split. “It really seems like a sudden decision. There was no hint that there was trouble in paradise.”

“They seemed so in love. If they got back together, it wouldn’t surprise anyone,” they said.

When did Larsa Pippen & Marcus Jordan get eliminated on The Traitors?

The Real Housewife of Miami herself Larsa Pippen was voted out and banished in episode 4 of The Traitors. The elimination comes after her boyfriend Marcus Jordan was eliminated in episode 3. She talked about how their relationship changed after appearing on the show together to People. “We had to have this conversation and we’re basically like, ‘Hey, once we get to the castle, I’m Larsa and you’re Marcus and we’re not necessarily a duo anymore. You’re on your own. I’m on my own,’” Pippen said. “I feel like we’re both growing individually and this is our path. And I think it’s super fun to be able to experience this with someone that you care about and at the same time be challenged in your relationship.”

Did Marcus Jordan propose to Larsa Pippen?

Are Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan still together? Yes, and they’re still going strong. Speaking with ET at BravoCon, Larsa said: “I will be engaged once I get a ring.” She was joined by RHOM co-star Lisa Hochstein at the event, but added that she “can’t be responsible” for when Marcus asks. “We love each other, you know? It’s gonna happen. I just feel like when the timing is right. It’s in the works.”

She previously opened up on the possibility of marriage. “I think so, I liked being married,” Larsa told E! News. “I like marriage, I feel like it’s great, it’s great to be able to build with someone, plan the future with someone. So, marriage to me is kind of important.”

However, she has her reservations about an actual wedding ceremony. “I don’t know, I never thought about that,” the RHOM star shared. “I’m not sure how our families would do with that, but I definitely would think about it.” She continued gushing about her boyfriend, “I feel like it’s a great year for us,” Larsa said. “There’s a lot of highs and a lot of lows. We had great trips, we had so many good times, but at the same time, there was a lot of drama.”

As the son of one of the greatest basketball players in the world, Marcus was asked about his father Michael’s approval in an interview with Entertainment Tonight on July 5, 2023. He assured that Michael loved the couple, “Yeah. Oh Yeah.” “We spent Thanksgiving together last year and, you know, my family loves her. They think she’s great. And ultimately, I think my family just wants to see me happy. And so as long as I’m happy, they’re happy with, you know, where I’m living,” Marcus told the site.

“Everybody had an opinion at first. I think there was some shock and interest early on, but I think that was the whole point of us trying to spend some family time together during the holidays.” he continued. “At least for me, if we’re gonna be in the media, you know, I kind of need to introduce you to my mom and my mom’s side and my dad’s side. And so, I think that went well and so far, so good.”

In a podcast episode of  Separation Anxiety With Hosts Larsa Pippen & Marcus Jordan, Larsa and Marcus addressed how their family dealt with their age difference “I don’t think there was ever any hurdles, I just think there was some shock value to the fact that we were dating. Caught maybe some people on my side of the family off guard a little bit,” he said.

He continued, “I think once people really got to understand and see us together, it made everything a little more comfortable. My parents want to see me happy. Your family wants to see you happy. That’s all you could ever ask for.”

He currently runs THE TROPHY ROOM in Orlando, Florida, an elevated retail boutique that was inspired by his father’s trophy room in their family residence. The couple confirmed that they’ve spoken about the possibility of having kids together. “There’s been conversations,” he said on the podcast. “When we go and we meet people, or I’m introducing you to some of my friends, or you introduce me to some of your friends I feel like it gets brought up.”

“I do feel like I’m happy, because I have four kids, and I feel like you don’t have kids, so basically, it’d be a question for you. Because I’m really fulfilled with my four children,” Larsa replied.

Larsa defended her relationship on the Real Housewives of Miami’s Season 5 reunion. “I feel like a lot of people don’t understand, like, I didn’t know him,” she said about Michael’s son. “I just met him a few years ago. I never met him before. I was with Scottie the very last year that he played with Michael.”

The reality star continued: “Michael and his wife were going through a divorce, so I never met his wife, never met his kids. It wasn’t like we had families that were intertwined. I never knew them.”

In an interview with TMZ, Marcus Jordan talked about being raised by a famous dad. “The best thing, honestly, there’s just a lot of perks,” he told the gossip site. “We were raised relatively normal. I say ‘relative’ because I didn’t take my first commercial flight until I was a junior in high school. I grew up playing Playstation on a private jet. So it’s not normal. But my mom, she’s from the South Side of Chicago, and so she made sure we stayed grounded and visited my cousins on the South Side a lot. We had a somewhat normal upbringing, going to public middle school, et cetera, et cetera.”

As for the downsides, he said, “The negative, or the worst thing, would just be having to operate under the assumption that people are always wanting something from you,” he said. “Whether it was a Jordan shoe, or a connection of some sort. You have to operate under the assumption that people are coming around with their hands out. That’s probably the only downfall.”
