Juanita Jordan backs Marcus Jordan and 'RHOM' star Larsa Pippen's romance despite warnings from ex-husband Michael Jordan
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS: Marcus Jordan, the son of Michael Jordan, recently earned a subtle yet meaningful stamp of approval for his relationship with 'RHOM' star Larsa Pippen from his mother, Juanita Jordan.
The confirmation emerged after Larsa posted pictures of herself posing with her beau, Marcus, during BravoCon 2023.
In the photos, the couple can be seen holding hands and striking a pose together.
Significantly, Juanita Jordan, Marcus's mother, appeared to convey her support for the relationship in a subtle manner.
She left a comment under the post, expressing that the couple looked great together, affirming her acceptance of their somewhat controversial romance.
"Son, you look so handsome & Larsa, you look so gorgeous, y’all look🔥🔥🔥 together," Juanita commented under the post.
While Juanita Jordan's support for her son Marcus's relationship with Larsa Pippen made headlines, it's worth noting that Marcus's father, NBA legend Michael Jordan, had reportedly expressed concerns about their union.
This cautionary advice emerged amidst the ongoing conflict between Michael Jordan and NBA player Scottie Pippen, the ex-husband of Larsa.
The tense relationship between the two basketball legends appears to have influenced the dynamics surrounding Marcus and Larsa's romance, with Michael even 'advising' his son regarding his relationship with Larsa.
American rapper Cam'ron even made a revelation, suggesting that Michael Jordan might take drastic action, potentially "terminate" Marcus from the family business if he decides to marry Larsa Pippen.
Why did Larsa Pippen and her ex-husband Scottie Pippen split?
'The Real Housewives of Miami' star and her NBA legend ex tied the knot in 1997 but chose to separate in 2016.
After a brief reconciliation, they ultimately decided to end their romance for good in 2018.
Their divorce was attributed to "irreconcilable differences," and this time, the decision remained steadfast.
After a three-year wait, Larsa and Scottie's divorce was officially concluded on December 15, 2021. By January 2022, the two had agreed to share joint physical and legal custody of their two youngest children.
Marcus Jordan wants father Micheal Jordan as ‘best man’ at his wedding
In a recent appearance on the 'Pablo Torre Finds Out' podcast, Marcus expressed his hope that his father would stand by his side as the "best man" when he ties the knot with girlfriend Larsa Pippen.
The impending marriage of Michael's son, Marcus, to Scottie's ex-wife, Larsa, is currently in the planning stages.
Marcus, who has previously stood as the best man at both Michael's and his brother's weddings, expressed his intention to uphold this tradition for his own wedding.
"I was the best man at [Michael's] wedding and the best man at my brother's wedding, and so, obviously, we'll keep that tradition going," Marcus said.
Micheal Jordan and Scottie Pippen are not close anymore
Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, once an unbeatable duo on the basketball court, have witnessed their friendship sour in recent years.
Despite their years of playing together on the Chicago Bulls, their once-solid bond has significantly deteriorated.
The tension became apparent when Pippen, in his November 2021 memoir, 'Unguarded,' voiced frustration over the depiction of their basketball careers in Jordan's docuseries, 'The Last Dance.'
He asserted that the series didn't adequately acknowledge their teammates, placing blame on Michael Jordan, who had editorial control over the final product.
The divide widened as Pippen felt his contributions to the Bulls' success were marginalized in the documentary.
In contrast, Jordan chronicled his NBA journey in the Netflix documentary, which aired in April 2020, reminiscing about the glory days of the Chicago Bulls.
The situation took an even more contentious turn when Michael Jordan's son decided to marry Scottie Pippen's ex-wife, a move that didn't sit well with the basketball legend.
This ongoing feud has certainly added to the complexity of Larsa and Marcus's relationship.
