Will Marcus Jordan and Scottie Pippen's ex Larsa get married soon? Plans afoot despite Michael Jordan's disapproval
WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA: Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen could soon take the next step in their relationship and tie the knot.
However, Michael Jordan isn't keen on having his NBA arch-rival Scottie Pippen's ex-wife in his family.
Though the wedding dates have not yet been finalized, heir Jordan has revealed that they are looking at locations to host the wedding ceremony.
The couple have had to face some backlash and have kept their relationship on the down low owing to the rift between Pippen's ex-husband and Jordan Sr.
Are Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan getting married?
At the end of their date night in West Hollywood, Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen were asked by an interviewer about the next big step in their relationship and whether they wished to get married anytime soon. As reported by TMZ, Jordan said wedding plans are underway.
Heir Jordan also revealed that they have been scouting for wedding locations and are working on setting the wedding date. This has sparked speculation about the relationship between 32-year-old Jordan and Pippen, who is 49 years of age.
Pippen is said to have sported a ring on her fingers which might just be a sign.
Why doesn't Michael Jordan approve of Marcus's relationship with Larsa Pippen?
Pippen's ex-husband Scottie Pippen happens to be Jordan Sr's longtime teammate on the Bulls. In the present, the two do not exactly see eye-to-eye. The controversy ignited when Pippen ripped Jordan Sr in many interviews since the release of ESPN's documentary series 'Last Dance.'
Pippen claimed Jordan had a habit of looking down on the other members of the team and referring to them as supporting characters. He noted that the docu-series reinforced this by always putting Michael on a pedestal.
Pippen feels that Jordan Sr was given the most praise, while the contribution of the other team members was always overlooked. Leaving a restaurant in Paris, Jordan Sr made his disapproval clear when asked about his thoughts on his son's marriage to his rival's ex-wife.
