The Jordan-Pippen saga is never short of a dull moment. The son of six-time champ Michael Jordan has made eyebrow-raising headlines recently. After publicly contradicting his father’s statements about his relationship, a vague tension was rumored to exist in the family unit. Marcus has been dating Scottie’s ex-wife for some time now and questions have lingered about how MJ and Scottie feel about the pairing. 

However, the couple seems unbothered. As Larsa Pippen turned 49, various stories emerged on Marcus’ Instagram account.

As Larsa Pippen is 16 years older than Marcus, controversy has surrounded their relationship from the get-go. But these public displays of affection come just days after Michael Jordan contradicted Larsa’s statements. This has raised questions about the father-son duo and the truth about this relationship’s approval. 

Jordan V/S Jordan?

In an interview, Marcus and Larsa discussed the dynamics of their relationship and how they approached their families regarding their connection. Marcus revealed that his family welcomes Larsa. The 32-year-old even added that they believe she is a great fit for him, but MJ did not seem to agree. 

Interestingly, the situation took a turn when footage of Michael Jordan in Paris surfaced shortly before Marcus and Larsa’s interview. When questioned about his thoughts on the couple, Michael initially waved off the question and then explicitly denied his approval.

This stark contrast between Marcus’ claims and his father’s actions raised doubts about the truthfulness of their statements.

Marcus recently responded to MJ’s one-word response on an Instagram post. He wrote, “Lol that (Ninja Emoji) play too much”.

It’s possible that Marcus is trying to protect Larsa’s feelings. After all, he cannot control his family’s acceptance. Alternatively, Michael Jordan’s denial could stem from issues outside of the relationship with Larsa.
