Larsa Pippen is staying out of ex-husband Scottie Pippen’s beef with his former Bulls teammate, Michael Jordan.
The “Real Housewives of Miami” star, 48, was asked about the dynamic Monday during an appearance on the “Tamron Hall Show,” where she also discussed her relationship with Jordan’s 32-year-old son, Marcus.
“I feel like a lot of people think we’ve known each other our whole lives but we have not,” Larsa said. “We literally just met at a party four years ago, and we were just friends.”
The RHOM star commented on the two’s vast age difference saying that contrary to popular belief the two have a lot in common.
“We have everything in common…I don’t really view age as ‘you’re mature or not immature.’ I don’t like think age determines your level of maturity.”
Pippen and Jordan were teammates in Chicago from 1987-1993 and 1995-’98 and won six championships together.
Jordan presented Pippen when he was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010 and two years later the pair publicly reunited at a surprise birthday party for Pippen.
The former teammates also attended an event for Jordan’s Flight School camp in California in 2017. After months of maintaining that she and Marcus were just friends, Larsa explained that their romance bloomed naturally because of their prior friendship saying that they run “in the same circles” and have “a lot of mutual friends” (Larsa’s ex-husband is Michael Jordan’s former Chicago Bulls teammate, Scottie Pippen) and randomly met “at an L.A. party.”After months of maintaining that she and Marcus were just friends, Larsa explained that their romance bloomed naturally because of their prior friendship saying that they run “in the same circles” and have “a lot of mutual friends” (Larsa’s ex-husband is Michael Jordan’s former Chicago Bulls teammate, Scottie Pippen) and randomly met “at an L.A. party.”
Larsa stated that the accusations are nonsense as she “wasn’t even dating Marcus last year on the show.” However, he will more than likely be seen on the upcoming season noting that Marcus “signed up” for the show when the two started dating.
As for her children not filming for RHOM, Larsa says that though she would happily like for them to appear it’s ultimately their choice.
“I feel like I’ve showed all of my life. I think they expect my kids to be on the show more. But my kids are superstars. My kids are all busy and I don’t want them to feel like they have to be on the show…I’d for love them to be on the show, but I don’t necessarily put pressure on them. It’s my thing, it’s my career not theirs,” Larsa concluded.
