Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen are in a relationship – and this one is going strong for about a year. The two have weathered several aspects that two people in love could face. They have faced backlash over their age gap. Some have also commented about the fact that they are related to two towering figures of the basketball court. Marcus is the son of Michael Jordan and Larsa Pippen is the ex-wife of Scottie Pippen. Both played for the Chicago Bulls. However, now the initial questions, theories, and answers have died down. The two are talking about more intimate aspects of being in a relationship, including having kids.
