Despite Scottie Pippen being an NBA Hall of Famer, his ex-wife Larsa Pippen is probably more famous currently. Larsa has five million followers on Instagram. That’s more than twice her ex-husband’s. Her huge following has come from being one of the major stars in the show The Real Housewives of Miami. Apart from that, her glamorous looks have captivated hearts. So, when she started openly dating Michael Jordan’s son Marcus Jordan, the intrigue grew hundreds-fold.

Pippen is 16 years older than Marcus and that has been a major storyline in their podcast Separation Anxiety. Jordan talked about the perks of being with a woman older than him.

While addressing the age gap between the two, the couple insisted that age is just a number. The Instagram phenom expressed that when she comes across some people who are 15 to 20 years younger, she feels like she is younger than them. She says, “My energy levels are more than theirs, I feel like ‘oh you are so old to be 20′”. To which, Jordan replied that it is all “situational”. Then Pippen asked him, “What’s the part about me being a little older?”

Marcus replied,” You are more knowledgeable, you are compassionate. Having prior to this, dating younger woman, I feel like that was something missing. The dating scene today, I don’t feel like anyone is as loving and as giving as you are. One thing that I cherish about our age gap is how loving and delicate you are”. To this Pippen also opened her heart and stated that being around Marcus is “fun” and that a “lot of people are serious, and you are not.”

The former basketball player then termed himself as the “optimistic person’’ and his partner as the “energizing bunny”. The younger partner then noted, “Being younger is a benefit, I can keep up with you. I don’t think that any one of these old dudes can keep up with you”. Pippen agreed with the sentiment and also revealed that she never thought she’d date anyone that younger than her.
