Shunning Michael Jordan’s Intoxicated Claim, Ex-Wife Juanita Backs Larsa Pippen and Son Marcus With Silent Gesture

Michael Jordan is arguably the greatest basketball player to have ever graced the game. Known for his ferocious tenacity and drive to win, Jordan found immense success in most avenues of life barring one. Marrying Juanita Vanoy in 1989, the couple had a tumultuous marriage which was eventually annulled in 2006. Although unable to salvage his marriage, the 6x champion did father three children from this relationship, them being Jasmine, Jefferey, and Marcus.

MJ’s youngest son Marcus was recently in the limelight as his relationship garnered the attention of many. In a move that not many anticipated, it was revealed earlier this year that Marcus was dating reality star, Larsa Pippen. While the couple shared images of their newfound love, many wondered about its implications for Jordan and Scottie Pippen. The once teammates have become horrifically intertwined, as Jordan’s son now dates Pippen’s ex-wife. Although Michael has disapproved of the relationship, his ex-wife seems to think otherwise with her latest silent gesture.

Juanita makes a silent gesture toward Larsa and Marcus

In the wake of their relationship, Marcus and Larsa recently announced the release of their podcast Separation Anxiety. While the two have used this platform to eradicate any misconceptions about their relationship, many continue to disapprove of their love.

While Jordan’s position on the relationship is still unclear, his ex-wife Juanita seems to be more welcoming about the couple’s relationship.

Recently taking to Instagram to show love for the couple, the Tony Award nominee was clearly appreciative of the pair. Sharing a story that contained a post from the official Separation Anxiety podcast page, Juanita silently supported her son and Larsa with this gentle gesture.

While Jordan’s ex-wife showed her discreet support for the lovebirds, the same cannot be said about Michael. Having previously shown his distaste for the couple’s relationship, MJ hasn’t been positive about the two. Although Marcus has since then exposed his father’s lies, Juanita’s recent support must mean the world to the couple.

Michael Jordan’s ‘intoxicated’ claims shut down by his son

In early July, Michael Jordan was spotted leaving a restaurant in Paris when he was questioned about his son’s recent exploits. Choosing to dismiss the question at first, Michael just laughed and walked on. But when insisted on commenting, the G.O.A.T simply answered the question by stating “No”. Although not concrete given he was simply finishing his dinner, the response wasn’t taken lightly by Marcus.

The youngest son dismissed his father’s comments as he felt that his family only wanted him to be happy. When asked whether his father and mother approved of his relationship, he simply replied. “Yeah. Oh yeah.”
