It is a sad day for the NBA fandom. After a year of going strong together, the duo of Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan are going their separate ways. With rumors swirling once her social media got devoid of anything Marcus-related, the news became official soon after. Immediately, though, questions were rampant about the possible reasons. For most of their time together, the two appeared to be on the same page. The one denominator that became a common theory was the possible involvement of Michael Jordan and his family.

However, according to a new report by the LA Times, that case seems unlikely. In reports made about the couple, the reasonings were also laid out. With the two wanting “to take some time apart to reevaluate their relationship,” the one assurance was that “this has nothing to do with any family input, but solely for their personal growth.” 

Throughout the weekend, the story gained credence. The deletion of social media posts grew fans’ intrigue, and two stories from Larsa Pippen seemingly offered confirmation. The first, rather tellingly, was a poll wondering if friends should unfollow your ex on social media.

The next, however, was far more direct. Reposting a quote, it became all but clear what her perceived reason might be. “The man you choose to be your partner affects everything in your life…Your mental health, your peace of mind…how your children will be raised, and much more. Choose wisely.”

What caused Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan to break up?

Given the quote in that story, any of those options could be a possible reason. However, the children option seems the most unlikely. Throughout their time together, the two had spoken in-depth about their goals for the future and children. Marcus had gone so far as to explain how he wanted to be a support system to her children with Scottie Pippen.

Further, potential children of their own were also on the cards with Larsa’s “insurance policy”. While the exact details aren’t clear, seeing them on The Real Housewives of Miami and The Separation Anxiety podcast was always a riveting watch. With words like ‘mental health’ and ‘peace of mind’ highlighting her quote, could their equation have turned sour?

With an appearance alongside him lined up in the coming weeks, perhaps that stage could give fans the answers they’re looking for.
