Larsa Pippen broke up with Marcus Jordan in 2024, marking the end of a highly publicized relationship that stemmed from their connections to Chicago Bulls legends Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan.
It was a twist of fate no one saw coming: Scottie 's former wife, with whom he spent over two decades of his life, and Michael 's son, who was in his early 30s when he started a romantic relationship with the then-49-year-old Larsa.
Still, like every other relationship, Larsa and Marcus had some good times. But according to Larsa, there were red flags early on.
After meeting in 2019, speculation that Pippen and Jordan were dating grew over the next few years. They ultimately confirmed their relationship in 2023. Then came the headlines.
Of course, other than the Scottie-Jordan storyline, the focus was on the 16-year age gap between Marcus and Larsa. In addition, His Airness also expressed his disapproval of this relationship. But ultimately, the couple got past these obstacles and deepened their relationship.
They discussed the possibility of having children together. They also launched a podcast, offering a glimpse into their everyday life.
Rumors that they were engaged started circulating in August 2023 after Larsa was seen with a diamond ring, which they immediately shut down. That's when cracks in their relationship started to surface. They were on and off for the next few months, until they broke up in July 2024 .
Naturally, their split was very public.
"I don't want to, like, have to address it. It's so embarrassing," Larsa told her mother on "The Real Housewives of Miami."
"You know what's really crazy? When I was dating Marcus, my kids were like, 'Stop getting back together and breaking up and just get off the ride,'" Larsa said. "That's when I was like, 'I need to get away from the situation. My kids think that it's not good for me.' You know?"
"We went from really being in love — getting along — to me seeing a side of him that didn't align with who I am as a person," Pippen said. "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 ."
Although he never publicly announced his new relationship, Jordan was linked to model Ashley Stevenson in 2024 after they were seen vacationing abroad. The noise eventually died down, and nothing was heard of their alleged romance since.
Meanwhile, after her split with Jordan, Pippen found a new partner in 2025 in Jeff Coby, a professional basketball player. She was optimistic that their relationship was moving in the right direction, especially given their strong chemistry and her four children's comfort level around him.
However, Pippen and Coby broke up in April 2026.
