Scotty Pippen Jr. often makes it to the headlines, but the other kids of the ex-Bulls Star? Not so much. Many basketball enthusiasts would still know of Pip’s 4 children with Larsa. However, not much is reported about the other three children that the 6x NBA champ had before them.

Notably, these three children come from three different exes of Scottie Pippen — Karen McCollum, Sonya Roby, and Yvette Deleone. Let’s have a closer look at not just Pip’s 7 children, but also at what they have been up to. And what kind of bond do they share with their father?

Scottie Pippen’s kids before he got married to Larsa

The fans of the 7x All-Star would know that long before Larsa, Pippen was married to Karen McCollum. And it was with his first wife that he welcomed his firstborn — Antron — into this world in December 1987. Growing up in Lawrenceville, he played basketball for South Georgia Technical College and later for the World Basketball Association in 2013. If one is to believe Scottie, his son was a late bloomer, but still better than him in high school.

But before we could see more of Antron’s basketball talents on the big stage, he passed away at 33. Although Pip never revealed the exact cause of death, he shared in an IG post that his son suffered from chronic asthma. “He never let that get him down, though — Antron stayed positive and worked hard, and I am so proud of the man that he became,” read the post. This was the 6x NBA champ’s only child with his first wife.

His second child came into this world in July 1994 with his ex-girlfriend, Sonya Roby. The fact he did not want to accept the parental responsibility of his first daughter may surprise some fans. As per the information by the Associated Press, he accepted Taylor Pippen as his daughter only after a DNA test disapproved of his denial. Following this, Scottie Pippen agreed to provide financial support, while Roby retained the full custody of her daughter. But it turns out his relationship with his eldest daughter remained limited to this arrangement itself.

“I know that people expect a lot from me, but, after all these years, I have learned that Pippen is just that, a last name,” Taylor said in an interview. But her development into an accomplished athlete proves that the apple doesn’t fall from the tree, no matter what. Not only did Taylor play volleyball for Southern Illinois University, but went pro in Spain for one season in 2016.

By 2024, she became the Vice President of Commercial Banking at JP Morgan Chase & Co. Notably, Taylor also had a twin sister named Tyler, but she died soon after her birth at the hospital itself.

As for Pip’s last child before marrying Larsa, he had yet again denied being the father. After a paternity suit by his ex-girlfriend, Yvette Deleone, the court revealed Scottie to be the father of Sierra Pippen. The ex-Bulls star eventually reached a settlement, where he agreed to cover all the educational and other expenses of his daughter born in February 1995. Having attended the University of Iowa, Sierra believes in keeping the rest of her personal life mostly to herself.

Second marriage to Larsa Pippen lasted a long time

Most hardcore fans of the 7x All-Star would remember Pip marrying Larsa in July 1997, and welcoming his first son with her — Scotty Pippen Jr. — in November 2000. Pippen Jr. has reached the highest level of basketball among any of his children. However, it’s not as if the journey was easy for him just because he carried a certain surname.

In fact, despite averaging impressive numbers in his college days for Vanderbilt Commodores, Pippen Jr. went undrafted in 2022. But he later made his way to the Los Angeles Lakers through a two-way deal under which he played for the franchise’s G-League team as well. But he did not get much of a chance at the big league until he moved to the Memphis Grizzlies. 

Meanwhile, Pip’s second child with Larsa is the complete opposite of his elder brother. As per an article by PEOPLE, Scottie Pippen’s second son with the RHOM star, Preston Pippen, likes to stay away from the spotlight. And this is the reason we don’t have many updates on him following his high school basketball life.

While Preston likes to stay away from the spotlight, his younger brother Justin seems to have thrived under it. Notably, apart from trying his hands at basketball, Pip’s youngest son also gave modeling a try. Additionally, Justin appeared in True Faces of the World campaign in 2016 with his sister Sophia. The campaign reportedly featured kids with different backgrounds and cultures.

Now, Scottie Pippen’s youngest, and last child with Larsa, is his daughter Sophia. And she has the luxury of making the surprising claim that her godmother is Kim Kardashian. Larsa’s friendship with Kim may have reportedly suffered a blow after her split with Kanye West. But it seems that the goddaughter-godmother connection still remains. Now, it’s important to highlight that though Pip’s relationship with his other children is not so sorted, he shares a great bond with all his children with Larsa.
