Larsa Pippen has admitted that her relationship with Michael Jordan’s son, Marcus, has made things “awkward” with the NBA legend and his longtime Chicago Bulls teammate, Scottie Pippen.
Larsa, 49, used to be married to Scottie but is now dating Jordan’s Marcus, who is 17 years her junior at age 32.
Now, speaking on the Whine Down podcast, Larsa shared how her relationship may have affected other people connected to the couple.
‘I’m not crazy. The relationship is probably awkward for them (Michael and Scottie),’ she admitted.
“I don’t ask him (Scottie) about his personal things. He doesn’t ask me about my personal things. We talk about our children and that’s all.

Her ex-husband Scottie is a former boyfriend and teammate of NBA star Michael Jordan
Larsa, 49, says she is not discussing her new relationship with ex-husband Scottie
“We (Larsa and Marcus) have our own relationship. We have our own daily life. There’s really no one else involved but us and my kids.’
Larsa and Scottie had four children together. They first broke up in 2016, reconciled and then broke up for good in 2018 after 14 years of marriage.
Michael Jordan was recently asked by paparazzi in France – where he was on vacation – if he approves of his son’s relationship.
‘No’ was his simple answer as he left a restaurant with his wife Yvette.
Scottie, meanwhile, hasn’t discussed the relationship herself, but seems to have an ax on Jordan.
Pippen recently claimed in an interview that Jordan, widely regarded as the greatest player ever in NBA history, was “a terrible player” before they became teammates.
“I watched Michael Jordan play before I came to play with the Bulls,” said Pippen. “You saw him play, he was a terrible player.
“He was terrible to play with, he was one-on-one, he shoots bad shots. Suddenly we become a team and we start winning, everyone forgot who he was.’
Shortly after those comments surfaced, Stephen A. Smith accused Pippen of betraying Jordan.
The pair won the NBA championship between 1991-93 and 1996-98 when the Bulls string together two famous three-peats.
