Michael Jordan finally shares his thoughts on son Marcus’ relationship with Larsa Pippen
It’s not a slam dunk.
Michael Jordan finally revealed his thoughts about his son Marcus dating Larsa Pippen — and he does not approve.
The famed Chicago Bulls player, 60, gave a resounding “No!” to paparazzi when asked in Paris Sunday if he gave his son his approval over his relationship with his former teammate Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife.
When asked a second time, the G.O.A.T. NBA player shook his head “no.”
Michael’s reaction comes in stark contrast to the tale the “Real Housewives of Miami” star spun while appearing on the “Tamron Hall Show” in February.
“I feel like we’re in a great place. We motivate each other. We’re really happy being together. And I feel like that’s the most important thing,” Larsa, 48, explained, adding that both sets of parents just want to see their children “happy.”
“We’ve spent holidays together, and it’s good,” she made sure to note. “We’re in a great place.”
Despite not having the “Space Jam” star’s approval, the Bravolebrity has the constant support of her 32-year-old beau who has found himself defending her against “gold digger” accusations.

“I feel like the money thing is annoying,” Larsa told Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast while promoting her and Marcus’ new iHeart podcast, “Separation Anxiety.”
“Yeah, I feel like people try to say Larsa’s a gold digger and she’s after the Jordan money or something,” added Marcus. “She’s such an independent, career-driven woman.
“She’s got it going on,” he added. “It’s the one comment or commentary that I’ve got to refrain from commenting back on.”
The couple — who first sparked dating rumors in September 2022 — also explained that they launched their new podcast to regain control of the narrative surrounding their romance, notably marked by a 16-year age gap.
“I’ve dated guys that are way older than me and I’ve dated guys that are younger than Marcus. So for me, it wasn’t like I was so concerned about a 16-year age difference,” she shared.
“I was kind of concerned about what’s going on in your brain. If you’re mature or not, if you feel good about yourself — that, to me, is more important than someone’s age.”
