Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan are tackling every problem one at a time. The couple has been loud and clear when it comes to giving a reply to the netizens who have called them out for various things. One of them would be the age gap between the two, which has been problematic, or rather hurtful for both of them. Surprisingly, Michael Jordan‘s son has now taken a mature approach to give the internet a fitting reply for their continuous mocking.

As per Bravo, he shared“I don’t think there’s a hard part about the age gap. I just think it’s public perception around the age gap…And I feel like if the ages were reversed, then it wouldn’t be an issue or as much of an issue. That was a fact from Marcus and it will be good enough to shut the internet for a while. Larsa couldn’t agree more with her boyfriend’s statement as she added, “That’s so true.”

Marcus, who was a 32-year-old at the time, decided to reveal his relationship with 16-year-old Larsa Pippen in January last year. Ever since then, social media users have called them out for the age gap. Many have found it to be unusual and thus the judgmental comments, but the couple has ignored it at most times. Some have even mocked Larsa as Marcus’s auntie.

In this problematic scenario, the pressure has been a lot on Larsa, mostly. In an episode that was released on Jan 17, Larsa had already addressed the issue.

She shared, “I feel like I should have love, I should be able to date who I want, I should be able to live happy and just go wherever I want to go and not be judged every time I’m seen with someone.” The 49-year-old does not care about the age gap and love is what matters the most to her. 

The couple have lived by it so far. It has been a year and they seem to get stronger and stronger every day. At times, they have also discussed a possible wedding and Marcus assured it is definitely on the cards. Moreover, they have confidently addressed all the issues so far, which can be considered a green light.
