Just last October, Larsa Pippen told E! News, “I am single. I haven’t really gone on too many dates recently.” But fast forward to March, and things seem to have taken a sudden and very cozy turn. At Marysol Patton’s birthday bash in Miami, Larsa showed up to the upscale Maple & Ash in typical low-key fashion—except for one not-so-subtle twist. She walked in hand-in-hand with 31-year-old pro baller Jeff Coby, and inside, the two reportedly didn’t shy away from showing they were more than just friends.

Within hours, onlookers pieced together the new couple’s storyline. Pippen was glowing, and Coby didn’t seem to mind. “They were cute. She was glowing,” a source told Page Six—and that glow didn’t just stop at the party. Larsa posted snippets of the event to her Instagram Story, but it’s what happened in April that really added fuel to the fire. When Coby posted a mirror selfie from his car with the caption, “Help—I’m being followed 🤍,” Larsa couldn’t resist chiming in. She reposted it with a cheeky “Haha you’re funny,” making it clear she’s not hiding her interest anymore.

Then came the real bombshell. Outside a swanky Miami event, Coby casually dropped a surprise while holding Larsa’s hand: “It’s going to be a beautiful marriage,” he told paparazzi, adding they plan to tie the knot in November. Just like that, fans were left wondering if this was a playful flex or a legitimate announcement. Either way, the energy between them felt serious.

Still, not everyone’s convinced. Remember, Marcus Jordan made similar comments about marrying Larsa not too long ago, only for nothing to come of it. While Jeff played the groom-to-be, Larsa stayed quiet. Though seconds before his statement, she did admit she’s genuinely happy with her new man.

After months of whispers and careful glimpses, what began as subtle flutters has exploded into full-blown PDA. Last week, they locked lips on a luxury yacht as cameras watched from a distance. If Coby’s wedding plans are real, we could soon see more than kisses. Maybe even a ring.

Who exactly is Larsa Pippen’s would-be, Jeff Coby?

Curiosity ignited instantly when Pippen strolled into Maple & Ash hand-in-hand with the 31-year-old baller. She even gave fans a sneak peek into the night through her Instagram Story. But as the glammed-up event faded, one question refused to go away—who exactly is this Jeff Coby that has suddenly stepped into Larsa’s very public spotlight?

Interestingly, Jeff’s story doesn’t have NBA fame or headline-grabbing moments. Born February 4, 1994, in Pembroke Pines, Florida, Coby is a Haitian-American forward who starred at Columbia University, appearing in all 35 games during the 2015–16 season and twice recording double-doubles in Ivy League play. He went undrafted in 2017 and last played overseas in Luxembourg in 2019. Though no longer on an NBA roster, Coby’s 6-8 frame (203 cm) and defensive presence earned him looks from G-League franchises, including a 2019 training camp invite from the Austin Spurs.

So no, he’s not your typical basketball star. But despite the quiet résumé, something about him caught Larsa’s eye—and maybe that’s the point.

Unlike her ex, Marcus Jordan, whose “wedding in the works” comments backfired in 2023, Coby has no sports-legend pedigree or social-media spectacle attached to his name. He and Pippen quietly began dating in early 2025, confirming their connection with a red-carpet debut at The Accountant 2 premiere on April 16, 2025, and playful Instagram Story interactions. There’s no towering legacy, no spotlight inherited from a sports icon.

In offering Pippen a partner flying under the radar, Coby delivers the privacy and stability Larsa has sought after her public split from Jordan. This has fueled speculation that this relationship could be her most enduring yet. Now it seems their romance grows into something bigger—or maybe even rings and vows down the line.
