She recently came back as a cast member of the 'Real House Wives of Miami' after a long hiatus since 2021. She was married to Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen and they have four children together.

Larsa not letting go of 'Pippen' until remarriage
Although there is an expectation for married couples to let go of their last name after a divorce, this does not apply to the 'Real Housewives of Miami' star who plans to hold onto her famous surname until she remarries. With four children and having been a Pippen for a significant amount of time, Larsa feels that the only reason to change her last name would be if she were to tie the knot again.
While Larsa and her current partner Marcus make a great pair, there is no news that they will be settling down as of now. If this were to happen, it is difficult to predict whether senior Jordan would be happy or angry about it, but Scottie would undoubtedly believe that his former teammate would be the happiest person in the world about the news.
What is the status of Marcus and Larsa's relationship?
In September 2022, Larsa and Marcus were initially linked romantically after being spotted on what looked like a double date in Miami. When asked about the claims a few months later, Pippen denied being in a relationship with the 32-year-old NBA star, stating that they had been friends for the past few years and that she was not eager to dive back into the dating scene.
However, Pippen, who was married to Scottie for a while, seems to have no qualms about being with Jordan now. Despite having supporters, the couple also has a vocal group of critics. During a date, a bystander screamed at them, and the video of the incident went viral. The individual's remarks were mainly directed at Michael Jordan's son and referenced the conflict between Michael and Scottie Pippen.
