Is it on? Weeks after reports of a romance being denied between the two, it is reported that Larsa Pippen is in fact dating Michael Jordan’s son, Marcus. The 48-year-old socialite was spotted socializing with the basketball star, 31, at Catch Steak in NYC, according to Us Weekly.
The source continued: “She hugged and kissed him, and by the end of dinner she was practically sitting on his lap. It became a bit of a spectacle for the spectators because it was quite distracting.’
Another insider claimed the pair are “dating and have spent more time together in recent weeks.”
But amid their alleged romance, the two have tried to keep a low profile.
“They’re trying to keep it down because of the rift between Scottie and Michael,” the person said.
Speaking of the hit basketball documentary The Last Dance, Scottie wrote in his November 2021 memoir Unguarded, “They glorified Michael Jordan while not praising me and my proud teammates enough.”

The Netflix project was released in the spring of 2020. Scottie added in his book, “I expected a lot more. When I first heard about it over a year earlier, I couldn’t wait to tune in knowing it would feature rare footage.”
And he condemned his former teammate for the portrayal of the Bulls team, declaring: “Michael deserved a lot of the blame. The producers had given him editorial control over the final product.
‘Otherwise the doctor could not have been released. He was the leading man and the director.’

Jordan and Pippen raised eyebrows earlier this month after being spotted on what appeared to be a double date.
Subsequently, TMZ reported that the duo were purely friends who happened to be in a similar social circle.
They were hung out for 45 minutes at the Zuma restaurant in downtown Miami, sources said, and showed no overt signs of romance.
However, they added that Larsa became “shy” when she began to realize that cameras were set on them.
Marcus is the second oldest son of Michael. He played college basketball at the University of Central Florida, but did not turn pro after graduating with a degree in hospitality management in 2013.

Larsa was married to Basketball Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen from 1997 to 2021, although both had filed for divorce years earlier.
Michael and Scottie were the 1 to 2 punch on what many consider to be the greatest basketball team in the history of the sport.
The pair played together from 1987 to 1998, apart from Jordan’s brief retirement to play minor league baseball.
While they were a dynamic duo on the field, the ESPN documentary The Last Dance showed tensions between them.
