Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan discussed the same term on their podcast and shared their opinion on the trend.

For those who are wondering what the term means, it is when you don’t commit to a relationship with someone but still keep them around. Let’s find out what the couple has to say about the new trend.

Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan argue over ‘benching’

In the new episode of their podcast, ‘Separation Anxiety,’ the couple unraveled several aspects of a relationship. During the conversation, Michael Jordan’s son introduced a new term, “benching” to his listeners.

As Marcus explained the meaning behind the word, Larsa noted, “So that’s why everyone’s single in today’s world?” She added, “Because you always feel like you can get better… this is where my friends thrive.” 

Surprised by her statement, Marcus shared, “I think you’re notorious in talking about you gotta have a roster you know.” He continued, “I think this a modern-day thing having a roster and having to bench some people.”

While Marcus seemed to tease playfully Larsa about her friends, the Real Housewives of Miami star noted that this is actually a real thing that happens a lot in the world of dating. Following this, Larsa changed the subject as he questioned Marcus about how men always wish to date the most popular girl.

Following this, he shared, “I always had a joke with my friends. Like when I was gonna get married, she wouldn’t probably speak English. Like I am gonna go find the most beautiful girl in the world that lives out of the country and knows nothing about all these”.

While Marcus’s wish was a hilarious one, fans will agree that a lot of things have changed for the Trophy Room owner now. Nevertheless, the 32-year-old is quite happy with his circumstances.
