The most talked about couple in the NBA world, Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen, recently came up with yet another scoop for fans. Despite the outside noise and conversations about Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, the couple has had an unbothered romantic journey since they made it official. Amid the chaos, they recently opened about their ‘ talking’ stage and how their romance unraveled, while Larsa only saw Marcus as a “Homie”.  

The couple often dodged a lot of questions related to their relationship in various interviews since mid-February. However, the couple took it upon themselves to share their story with fans in their brand-new audio podcast, Separation Anxiety with Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan. Interestingly, Larsa also revealed her earlier intent to avoid the relationship because of the “smoke” it would cause.

Larsa Pippen earlier spoke about how she hated when the media spun bogus stories about her relationship with Marcus in an interview. Adding to that, the couple took up the task of breaking all the myths surrounding their relationship. Firstly, in their first podcast episode, Jordan opened up their initial talking stage. He highlighted how he texted Pippen whenever he flew into Miami and hung out, as they had a lot of mutual friends.

Furthermore, she revealed why she wanted to set Marcus up with her friends. She said, “I thought really highly of you to tell my friends because I didn’t want the smoke,” – the obvious smoke being the derailed friendship of her ex-husband Scottie and MJ after 2020. 

When did Marcus meet Larsa?

Many fans thought the couple knew each other for a long time, but in reality, they actually met each other for the first time at a party four years ago. In a recent interview on Way Up With Angela Yee, Larsa narrated her first meeting with Marcus and spoke about various unknown facts about their relationship. Scottie Pippen hasn’t really made any comment on his ex-wife’s affiliation with his former teammate’s son yet.
