Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen make a rather famous pairing. Both individuals are related to the Chicago Bulls legends. Marcus is the son of Michael Jordan, as the name might suggest, while Larsa and Scottie were married for 21 years. An unexpected pairing, the duo became an official couple earlier this year. But the question on everybody’s mind was how MJ and Pippen feel about this relationship.

Being 16 years Marcus’ senior, Larsa has created an interesting dynamic. Enjoying a relationship with Michael as Scottie’s wife in the past, this new pairing could be a sore eye for Jordan as well as Pippen. While MJ passed his verdict and gave audiences his ultimatum, his son Marcus contradicted those claims exposing his father for his lies.

Marcus Jordan and Larsa discuss their family dynamic together

With so many questions about their relationship on everyone’s lips, the star couple often takes to social media to put forth their side and express their true feelings for each other. During a recent interview with ET’s Brice Sander, the couple sat down in Marcus’ Miami penthouse to discuss their relationship. Sitting together for an interview for the first time, the couple dove deep into their family dynamics and Michael’s approval.

Revealing to the interviewer how they approached each other’s families Marcus stated, “During the holidays she came and visited some of my family, I visited some of her family. So, I think that’s kinda what, once we realized our families were OK with it, then I feel like that was easier for us.”

Continuing to speak on the subject Marcus revealed that his family loves Larsa. Stating that they “think she’s great,” the former basketballer believes that his family only wants to see him happy.

Talking about how his dad and mom felt about the relationship, Marcus revealed: “So far so good.” The interviewer then went on to specifically mention Michael, questioning if the couple had his blessings. To which Marcus replied, “Yeah, oh yeah.”

Marcus’ recent comments show Michael Jordan to be a liar

Marcus’ comments contradict Michael’s own words.

The NBA legend was in Paris 72 hours before Marcus and Larsa’s interview. There he was questioned about his thoughts on the couple. Laughing at first, Michael initially waved off the question but after being probed again, he bluntly replied “No.”

When asked for a third time for clarification Michael Jordan simply shook his head signaling a no.

With Marcus claiming his dad is fine with his relationship, was Michael’s admission on video a lie? Is Marcus trying to protect Larsa’s feelings?  What do you think, let us know in the comments below.
