Justifying her relationship, Larsa added, “So I don’t really view age as whether you are mature or not mature. I feel like if you can drink at 21, you go to war at 18. There are different circumstances that I feel like age doesn’t really determine your level of maturity.” Further, when questioned about her time with MJ and his ex-wife, Larsa mentioned, “I don’t really wanna talk about them. I just really feel like it’s not about my parents or his parents.”

She continued, “They are all happy. His whole family is fine—-I feel like we are in a great place. We motivate each other. We are happy.” The love saga seems to be going strong as Larsa Pippen has made sure everything is smooth between the two.
