The NBA’s history is littered with high-profile relationship dramas. Now, the RHOM personality Larsa Pippen, who just had her break up two months ago, has stirred the air again, making waves with her new insights on her past relationship with Marcus Jordan. Moreover, the true colors of what seemed to be a loving relationship for the last two years are coming to light with Pippen’s latest revelation.
In an exclusive interview with E! News, the RHOM star revealed her newfound wisdom of keeping future relationships private. “I don’t want to share too much, honestly. I feel like my last relationship was on display from day one and if I do meet someone, I’m going to take my time and get to know them initially before I get to be on center street with the person, because I feel like it’s hard to get to know someone when it’s public. It’s so challenging,” said Pippen.
If we look at Larsa’s journey, her relationship status in front of the public eye began with her 19-year marriage to Scottie Pippen in 1997. The Chicago Bulls legend and the reality show star share four children together but their marriage ended in 2021 after two separate filing attempts. The divorce proceedings exposed the vulnerabilities of living under the constant glare of public scrutiny, yet Larsa seemed to jump right back into the spotlight with her relationship with Michael Jordan’s son Marcus Jordan.

With Marcus, she first met at a party in 2019 through mutual friends. Since 2022, dating rumors regarding the couple have started with them being caught in public together numerous times. They officially announced their dating through an Instagram post in January of 2023. However, it seems that their relationship could not stand the weight of time and they eventually split in July this year.
However, seems like Pippen’s relationship with Marcus has given her a new perspective on relationships. “If you’re just meeting someone, you don’t necessarily know if you guys are even going to get along or if you guys if there’s longevity in it…People always want to make more of it than it actually is, so I want to be more careful this time around and not necessarily share too much in the beginning,“ said Pippen to E! News.
The 50-year-old has also revealed that after splitting up with Marcus Jordan, she hasn’t been on many dates. For now, she is busy with the filming of new episodes of Housewives, maintaining her business, and looking after her kids. As Larsa steps back to reassess her approach to relationships, she is certainly learning that sometimes the healthiest relationships are those that develop away from the public’s prying eyes. But what was the reason for the breakup between the Chicago Bulls legend’s son and RHOM icon?

Why did Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan break up?
Larsa Pippen’s and Marcus Jordan’s relationship has been a topic of discussion since they started dating in 2023. However, their split has made them the talk of the town with fans speculating what would have been the reason behind such a decision.
The former love birds first split briefly in February of this year. At that time, an insider revealed that the decision to have a break was taken by Marcus Jordan himself. “Decided to take some time apart to reevaluate their relationship. This has nothing to do with any family input, but solely for their personal growth,” said the insider.

Although the two got back together a short time later, they again broke up a month later in March. This time the decision was taken by Pippen. “Larsa realized this relationship is just not the one for her after spending some more time apart…She wants to move on and focus on improving her life. They simply want different things out of life,” said an insider.
But the real reason might have been nothing but Marcus’ choice of lifestyle. According to ‘Vibe‘, Pippen was tired of Marcus hiding his lifestyle and at one point she reached her breaking point. However, even after the split Larsa, had assured that she was still friends with Marcus during an appearance on the Amy & T.J. podcast. But given Larsa Pippen’s recent public remarks, it is doubtful whether the two are still real friends or not.
