‘It wasn’t planned!’ Larsa Pippen, 48, reveals she’s in LOVE with beau Marcus Jordan, 32, and has met his famous father Michael Jordan who is ‘fine’ with their relationship

Larsa Pippen has revealed she is in love with beau Marcus Jordan and has even met his famous father Michael in a candid new interview.

The social media star, 48, shocked fans when she sparked up a romance with Jordan, 32 – who is the son of her ex-husband Scottie Pippen’s biggest NBA rival – but told Tamron Hall there was no malice behind her decision to date the younger man.

She said: ‘We have everything in common, I don’t feel like age determines if you’re mature. Scottie is 10 years older than me…

‘I can’t explain how [Scottie] feels.  I live my truth, I’m happy, [Marcus and I] get along, he’s my best friend, it wasn’t planned. We were together and it just so happened like that.

When asked if the pair were in love, she said: ‘I think so. We’re in a really good place.’

The social media star, 48, told Tamron Hall there was no malice behind her decision to date the younger man – despite him being the son of her ex Scottie’s nemesis Michael 

She also refuted claims she had known Marcus since he was a child, saying the pair first connected at an LA party four years ago, before their friendship blossomed into romance in September. 

She added: ‘I should have love and should be able to date who I want.’

Larsa said she had spent ‘a lot of time’ with Marcus’ father Michael , 60, and his mother Juanita, 63, who were ‘fine’ with the romance.

She said: ‘We’re happy, we motivate each other, they’re all fine with it.

 ‘I feel like, we’ve spent holidays together and it’s good. We’re in a great place. I think so. We’re in a really good place.

This comes after Larsa opened up about the moment that she realized that she had feelings for her now-boyfriend Marcus.

While discussing her relationship with NBA legend Michael Jordan’s son,  the reality star recalled what made her want to change their relationship from platonic to romantic.

Pippen began by speaking about the night that she figured out that she had feelings for Jordan, whom she also described as her ‘best friend’ up to that point. 

‘I think it was one night we went out and there was a girl that was there. She was trying to talk to him, and I was getting jealous over it,’ the mom-of-four told People.
