Scottie Pippen‘s ex-wife, Larsa Pippen, and Michael Jordan‘s son, Marcus Jordan were creating headlines for months as many speculated that they were in a relationship. Their assumptions proved to be right as the duo officially confirmed that they were in love with each other a few weeks back. However, the couple has been constantly scrutinized due to the equation between Scottie Pippen and MJ. Recently, Larsa broke those shackles of public scrutiny in an interview.
Larsa and Marcus have an age difference of 16 years. However, unlike during her marriage with Scottie, the ‘Real Housewives of Miami’ star is the one who is older here. This notably piqued the interest of the public and made their relationship a hot topic among fans and media. However, the 48-year-old revealed not liking those talks and recently responded to the chatter.

Larsa’s statements implied that she doesn’t care what others think about their relationship, as she is quite happy dating Marcus.
