Larsa Pippen may feel she’s in a “great place” with her boyfriend Marcus Jordan’s famous family, but his dad, basketball G.O.A.T Michael Jordan, seems to be on a completely different page.
Larsa, 48, and Marcus, 32, were first romantically linked to each other towards the tail end of 2022, and quickly sparked a mixed reaction from netizens over both their substantial age gap and bizarre connection.
The Real Housewives of Miami star’s ex-husband is Scottie Pippen, famously Marcus’ dad’s Chicago Bulls teammate and former close friend.

Though Larsa had previously claimed that she and Marcus had his family’s blessing, there’s always two sides to every story, and Michael has made that abundantly clear.
While leaving a dinner in Paris’ Matignon club, the NBA legend, 60, was asked in a video shared by PageSix what his thoughts were on his son’s relationship with Larsa. When asked if he approved, he gave a resounding “No!”

As he hopped into his black van, he was once again asked: “You don’t approve?” after which he simply nodded his head no.
Michael’s confirmed disapproval of the relationship comes after Larsa maintained there was no ill will with the Jordan family during a February appearance on The Tamron Hall Show.

“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,” she said, and even revealed: “We’ve spent holidays together, and it’s good,” before insisting: “We’re in a great place.”

His brother Preston graduated high school in 2021 and has kept a low profile since then. Justin has tried his hand at both modeling and basketball, and the youngest, Sophia – whose godmother is Larsa’s estranged bestie Kim Kardashian – seems to have a passion for dancing, and appeared on Dancing With the Stars: Juniors in 2018.
Meanwhile, their older half-sister Taylor works in finance, and according to her LinkedIn page she is a vice president at JPMorgan Chase, while Sierra, who attended the University of Iowa, keeps a low profile and little is known about what she’s up to.
