Meanwhile, Marcus’s post-Larsa phase has been notably… bitter.
In fact, he even took to social media last September to mockingly tell a fan he’d sent Larsa ‘back where she belongs,’ alongside a cheeky street emoji.
Jordan and Pippen, who is the ex-wife of former NBA star Scottie Pippen, went official with their relationship in January 2023.
Both appeared in season two of the competition show The Traitors before first calling things off in March.
In July, the RHOM star told Entertainment Tonight the romance was ‘off.’
‘I think it’s off. I mean, it’s off. It is off,’ she said. ‘I feel like, I’m good. I’m good,’ she added.
When breakup rumors first arose, a source also told DailyMail.com, ‘They were in love with each other, but once the honeymoon phase ended, they started to realize their priorities differed.’
‘They both had different ideas of what their family was going to be like and that built lots of stress. They are just on different roads, but they are both to blame for not being together – even though they are blaming each other for the demise.’

However, the insider touched on the topic of whether it would be possible for the pair to reconcile. ‘Absolutely – but right now, it is very touch and go and they don’t see eye to eye about much.’
‘They need to get back to where they originally started with each other and then it could work, this could be a good test to be away.’
The two were first linked back in 2022 – and Marcus’ father, Michael Jordan, has previously expressed his disapproval of the relationship.
Back in July 2023, the NBA star had been asked if her approved of his son’s relationship with Pippen, and he simply replied with, ‘No.’
Larsa was married to basketball star Scottie Pippen, 58, from 1997 until 2021. Scottie and Marcus’ father Michael were legendary teammates in the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s.
She and Scottie share 23-year-old son Scottie Jr., 22-year-old son Preston, 19-year-old son Justin, and 15-year-old daughter Sophia.
Meanwhile, when Nicole broke her silence following Warren’s tragic death, she shared that the five kids she has with ex-husband Eddie Murphy ‘adored’ him.
She also made it clear she had no regrets about caring for him in his final days, saying it was important to be there for him when it mattered most.
Nicole and Eddie were married from 1993 to 2006 and during their marriage, they welcomed Bria, 35, Myles, 32, Shayne, 30, Zola, 25, and Bella, 22; (seen in 1994)
‘He was worth taking care of,’ she told Atlanta Black Star in October. ‘When he was in the hospital, I stayed in the hospital with him. Slept in a bed for two weeks and two days. I was like, “You sick, I’m sick.”‘
