“I’m trying to avoid athletes,” Larsa Pippen told US Weekly. The RHOM actress doesn’t wish to date athletes. Well, Larsa has her own reasons for that. However, she seemingly wasn’t able to keep her word. And nobody really blames her if she is so happy right now. “She was glowing. Larsa seemed really happy and smiley,” a source told Page Six. As happy and glowing as she is now, with her new rumored boyfriend, Larsa got into a bit of sweet trouble this morning. 

The mother of four was recently rumored to be linked with Haitian-American basketball player Jeff Coby. A forward with international experience, Coby has showcased his athleticism and versatility on the court during his time in various leagues. Rumors flew high at Real Housewives of Miami star Marysol Patton’s star-studded birthday party. This is where the two were first spotted together. Sources reported that the two packed on some PDA once they got inside the restaurant. However, the two arrived separately at the party.

In Larsa’s recent post, the actress was seen on a jogging session with the basketball star. As Coby was recording a video of them, he suddenly sped up, leaving Larsa behind as he asked, “I’m breaking a sweat. Are you going to catch me?” This was just a brief and adorable moment between the two. However, both are yet to confirm anything. “I didn’t know we were racing,” Larsa captioned her story.

Fans noticed another cute exchange between the two. Coby earlier shared a photo on his Instagram which was a mirror selfie taken in his car’s side-view mirror while on the road. He captioned it, “Help — I’m being followed,” with a heart emoji. Shortly after, Larsa reposted it to her IG Story with a playful, “Haha, you’re funny.”

Coby is a professional basketball player. He has played in the Spanish basketball league as well as for Tokyo based pro basketball team, Yamaguchi Pats Five in 2022. As of current roster, he doesn’t appear to be part of any team. 

While these were all adorable IG Stories, Larsa recently posted a shocking story about her Miami house on social media. Amidst the blossoming romance hinted at through playful online exchanges with Jeff Coby, Larsa Pippen experienced a rather unsettling encounter in her Miami abode, proving that life in the Sunshine State can sometimes come with unexpected and scaly surprises.

Larsa Pippen ‘freaked out’ upon unwanted guest

The actress recently had all her followers freaked out with her latest update. Just a few days ago, Pippen shared shocking news on her IG, that an intruder had entered her Miami house. Not just any intruder, it was a cobra, she claimed. “My housekeeper found a snake in the house and said it’s [the] size of a cobra. I’m freaking out,” she wrote.

Some time later, she shared another post saying that she had called a professional to help her with the situation. Fortunately, it wasn’t a cobra, but it was still a snake, as she pointed out. “So it’s not a cobra, but it’s still a snake,” she confirmed. As per the pictures, it was a white snake. However, one can never be too sure. Good thing she quickly called in professional help.

She reportedly owns two heavenly abodes in Miami. She is still renovating the new house she purchased recently. Larsa had earlier listed her Miami condo for sale, but as per the latest reports, she is currently holding onto both properties. We have to wait until Larsa posts yet another cute IG Story or some more details on her new rumored romance.

Larsa Pippen’s apparent foray back into the world of dating athletes, specifically with Jeff Coby, seems to be bringing her genuine happiness, as evidenced by their lighthearted interactions. However, the unexpected intrusion of a snake into her Miami home serves as a humorous, albeit slightly alarming, reminder that life, much like reality television, can take unpredictable turns. As fans eagerly await an official confirmation of Larsa’s new romance, they were also briefly captivated by her unexpected wildlife encounter, proving that there’s never a dull moment in the world of this reality star.
