The duo of Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan have been dominating news headlines since the news of their dating came out. The primary story has been their 16-year age gap, coupled with the fact that Larsa’s former husband, the great Scottie Pippen, was an iconic teammate of Marcus’ father, the legendary Michael Jordan.

The news induced a major reaction from the five-time NBA MVP. The 32-year-old Jordan recently touched upon his father’s take on their relationship, while also opening up about his alleged revenge on Pippen.

“I don’t think that he thought of the timing. His goal was to always stay clear of our relationship,” he said. On Scottie Pippen, he said, “There’s always that narrative that rumor that I’m dating you to in some sort of way to get back at whatever was said.”

Marcus made it clear that all the rumors of him dating Larsa for her to get back at her ex, Scottie Pippen, are blatant lies. It was rather interesting to see Marcus clear the air on the controversy surrounding his relationship.

Despite the criticism, the lovebirds seem to be having a good time with each other. They celebrated Larsa’s 49th birthday together, which left the ladylove in seventh heaven.

Marcus’ thoughtful surprise for Larsa Pippen

Larsa Pippen celebrated her 49th birthday in style with her partner Marcus Jordan. She later made it clear that none of her former partners made her feel the way Marcus made her feel.

“I feel like it’s like the thought. Because I have been in relationships where there was like a lot of gifts and it didn’t make me like, I don’t know, feel the way I felt yesterday,” she claimed. Seems like Jordans and Pippens are meant to always get along, whether on the basketball court or in relationships!
