Larsa Pippen is soaking up every bit of motherhood—and she’s loving every second of it. Her kids are her heart, her biggest joy, and her proudest flex. Whether she’s cheering from the sidelines or dropping a sweet note online, Larsa never misses a moment to lift them up. “They’re just like the perfect humans,” she gushed in a recent Instagram story.
The Real Housewives of Miami star shares four kids with ex-husband Scottie Pippen, and each one is charting their own path. Scotty Pippen Jr. is thriving in the NBA, turning heads with the Memphis Grizzlies. Her youngest son, Justin Pippen, has been having an exciting college basketball run with the Michigan Wolverines. Sophia, the youngest of the bunch, is already carving out her space in the modeling world. But recently, it was Preston Pippen’s turn to shine.
Larsa shared a heartfelt Instagram story on a very special day—Preston’s graduation from Loyola Marymount University. “So proud of you my love @prestonpippen,” she wrote alongside a sweet family photo featuring Scottie, herself, Sophia, Scotty Jr., and Justin. While she didn’t reveal what Preston majored in, the pride in her post said it all. The love? Impossible to miss.

Scottie, too, wasn’t far behind as he posted a wholesome carousel, writing, “My son @prestonpippen graduated from LMU today with his business degree. You’ve earned every bit of this… today’s just the beginning. Proud dad right here!”

Even Sophia chimed in with her own tribute. She posted a picture with her big brother, writing, “so proud of you @prestonpippen.” It was a quiet, tender moment of sibling love—one that just added to the celebration.
Preston Pippen first stepped into the spotlight not on the court, but on the runway, turning heads in September last year when he walked for designer Philipp Plein at Milan Fashion Week. Though he didn’t pursue basketball professionally like his older brother Scotty Jr., Preston still shares a strong connection with the sport. He played during his time at Sierra Canyon School, a powerhouse known for its elite high school basketball program and stacked roster of future stars. He held his own on the court, contributing to the team and embracing the competitive energy that runs deep in the Pippen bloodline.
While Preston has maintained a low public profile ever since that fashion walk, it is fair to think that he must be out exploring other avenues. And till he wows us again with his versatility, you can expect him to share a TikTok of him dancing with the sons of Shaquille O’Neal or LeBron James.

Despite the drama, Larsa Pippen always shows up for her kids. Is she the ultimate mom?

Larsa Pippen: A devoted mom, no matter the headlines
On Mother’s Day, Larsa Pippen took a moment to reflect on the most important role in her life—being a mom. In a heartfelt tribute on Instagram Stories, she shared a series of posts featuring each of her four children. The first photo showed Sophia and Scotty Jr., the second featured Justin, and the third captured a sweet moment with Preston. She simply captioned them, “My whole heart,” letting the emotion speak for itself. It was a quiet, powerful reminder of how deeply connected she is to her kids.
Larsa and NBA legend Scottie Pippen were married for 19 years before filing for divorce in 2016. While their relationship was once a staple in the basketball world, they’ve since taken separate paths. Still, through it all, Larsa has remained focused on co-parenting with love and mutual respect. “Her sole focus right now are the children,” a source told E! News during their divorce, and Larsa continues to show that every single day.
Which is why, even though she recently jetted out of Miami with her boyfriend, Jeff Coby for what she called “a little trip,” it wouldn’t be surprising if that trip ended at Preston’s graduation. She shared the jet moment on Instagram, and Jeff posted a cozy snap of them cuddled under a blanket—clearly enjoying their time together. But here’s the twist: Jeff, who recently told the paparazzi, “We’re getting married in November 2025,” wasn’t in any of the family graduation pics. Whether they traveled together or not for the graduation, Larsa showed up for her son, just like she always does. Especially after the whole Malik Beasley drama and her now-viral “I had COVID brain” moment, it seems like she needed a little reset, but never at the cost of missing out on her kids.
There was something full-circle about seeing Larsa, Scottie, and all four of their kids together for Preston’s big day. Despite everything—divorce, new relationships, public speculation—they’ve made co-parenting look grounded and full of love. The smiles in that graduation photo said more than any caption could.
