During the first episode, the couple shared how they began as friends. As their conversations grew, Jordan invited the 48-year-old to a vacation to the Bahamas, making the ‘first move’. But Pippen didn’t want people to know about their bond. So she had to adopt a strategy. Working her brains, she decided to save Marcus Jordan’s contact under a false name.
“I feel like a lot of people don’t know I could never really put you under your real name on my phone. So I had you under Marc Jacob. I don’t know why I had you under Marc Jacob, but like that’s what I had you on my phone. Because I didn’t want anyone to know you would call me,” said Larsa Pippen about having to hide Jordan’s identity.
