Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen‘s relationship is seemingly on the mend, as they were spotted together on Valentine’s Day. They reportedly broke up due to tension starting after his father, Michael Jordan, said he didn’t approve of their relationship, but Marcus claimed he was joking.
His statement was controversial because Larsa had previously said their parents were supportive of their relationship and blissful for them. Their relationship can also be hot news due to long-running beef between her ex-husband, Scottie Pippen, and Michael. Larsa and Scottie have since settled their divorce and share custody of their 4 kids.

Larsa Pippen & Marcus Jordan Reportedly Broke Up Because Of His Father
On Monday, multiple sources told Page Six that Marcus and Larsa had broken up after a few 12 months of dating. One source claimed the split was as a consequence of “tension” attributable to Michael as a consequence of his statements on their relationship last 12 months.
While talking to the paparazzi, Michael “publicly” denounced the couple and refused to make clear his statements. The source said, “Marcus said Michael was joking when he said he didn’t approve, but it surely really mortified Larsa.”
Nonetheless, one other source claimed that the breakup actually “has nothing to do with any family input, but solely for his or her personal growth.” They explained that Marcus and Larsa decided to “take a while apart” to reconsider their relationship, not due to Michael.
Larsa seemingly confirmed her split from Marcus by removing all their photos together from her Instagram earlier this week and even unfollowed him. Nonetheless, just before they were spotted out on their Valentine’s flower shop date, Larsa re-followed him on Instagram.
Larsa Pippen Claimed Their Parents Were Supportive
Michael’s dismissal of their relationship was especially controversial due to statements Larsa had made during a February interview on the “Tamron Hall Show.”
On the time, the Bravolebrity claimed that she and Marcus were blissful and had the support of their parents and family.
She said, “I feel like we’re in an amazing place. We motivate one another. We’re really blissful being together. And I feel like that’s a very powerful thing.”
Larsa noted that on the time, each of their parents wanted them to be “blissful” and support the romance. She added, “We’ve spent holidays together, and it’s good. We’re in an amazing place.”
Despite not having Michael’s public support, Larsa had unending support from her man. Marcus has severally defended her against the “gold digger” accusations that she’s only dating him for his money. He said the claims against her make no sense as she’s “an independent, career-driven woman.”
Michael Jordan And Scottie Pippen Are Still On Bad Terms
The source further claimed that Marcus and Larsa’s relationship friction was also worsened by Michael’s longtime feud with one other NBA icon, Scottie Pippen, who’s Larsa’s ex-husband. The insider said, “The history between Michael and Scottie made things complicated, even when Larsa and Marcus did their best to make it a non-issue.”
The source further said the couple needed to prioritize family since it “comes before every little thing.” They said, “At the top of the day, Michael is Marcus’ dad, and Scottie is the daddy of Larsa’s children.” Scottie and Larsa share 4 kids: Scottie Jr., Preston, Justin, and Sophia.
Michael and Scottie have had their beef ongoing for years and recurrently throw jabs at one another. During a recent appearance on Stacey King’s “Gimme The Hot Sauce” podcast, Scottie threw subs at Michael while praising LeBron James. He said Michael was a “horrible player” until they eventually became teammates.
