Larsa Pippen's Relationship Timeline: From High-Profile Marriage to Sizzling Romance With Marcus Jordan
Larsa Pippen was married to one of basketball's biggest '90s legends, before dating his teammate's son.
Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan are one of Miami’s hottest couples.
When they aren’t documenting their love on social media or teaming up for their podcast Separation Anxiety, The Real Housewives of Miami maven and her beau are often spotted out on stylish date nights at Miami hot spots or happily reveling in domestic bliss.
But before she was linked to Marcus — the son of basketball legend Michael Jordan — she spent nearly two decades married to Michael’s Chicago Bulls teammate Scottie Pippen.
Together, Larsa and Scottie share four children together, but the romance came to an end in 2018 when Larsa filed for divorce for a second time.
In the years that followed, Larsa played the field and enjoyed her life as a newly single lady before her years-long friendship with Marcus took an unexpected romantic turn, bringing the lovebirds together.

When did Larsa Pippen marry Scottie Pippen?
Larsa was just 23-years-old when she tied the knot with 32-year-old Scottie during the height of his Bulls’ fame in 1997, according to People.
And it appears the couple was very busy during their time together. Larsa recently raised some eyebrows — and got shade from rapper Cardi B in the process — when she shared some surprising bedroom secrets.
“I was married for 23 years, I’ve always had sex four times a night,” she said during the RHOM Season 5 Reunion. “I had sex four times a night every night. I never had a day off for 23 years.”

When did Larsa Pippen become a Housewife?
When Larsa made her debut on the first season of The Real Housewives of Miami in 2011, she was happily married to Scottie and busy raising the couple’s four children: Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin, and daughter Sophia.
“I basically take care of Scottie Pippen and my kids. I have a really tough job, you know, four kids, my husband’s schedule, our accounting, our attorneys and my kids homework, cooking everyday, I cook every day so it’s a lot of work,” she said in the series premiere episode.
And of course, like any good Housewife, Larsa also had to make sure there was time for herself.
“Being married to Scottie you almost have to be in shape and looking cute,” she added.

When did Larsa Pippen and Scottie Pippen get divorced?
But by 2016, cracks had started to form in the union. Scottie filed for divorce in October of that year, although the couple ultimately decided to reconcile in early 2017.
In their time apart, however, Larsa was linked to rapper Future and later opened up about the brief romance on Hollywood Unlocked.
"It was like, I was really sad, I was in a point in my life when I was really sad," Pippen said, according to People. "I was dealing with, 'Do I move on, do I not, are my kids going to be okay?' It was a lot of guilt that I felt and he was the guy that was there to see me go through it and he was the guy that I would talk to when I was kinda like, dealing with things. He gave me confidence when I was feeling in a dark place."
"Did I want to spend the rest of my life with him? I don't think so,” she continued. “People serve a purpose in your life. It doesn't have to be your forever.”
Future wasn’t the only man Larsa leaned on during the split — she also briefly dated Tristan Thompson before he moved on to Khloé Kardashian.
"I was kinda seeing Tristan before Khloé. Before Khloé or any of them knew he existed," Larsa said on the Hollywood Raw podcast. "I was seeing him, I had him come to L.A., I brought him to a party Kim [Kardashian] had. I introduced him to all of them."
Larsa soon found her way back to Scottie, but their newfound commitment to one-another was short-lived and Larsa filed for divorce a final time in 2018.
The divorce was finalized in 2021.
Larsa Pippen Dates Malik Beasley
In 2020, Larsa found romance with another basketball star, former Utah Jazz player Malik Beasley, but the four-month courtship also scored some major drama.
Beasley’s then-wife, Montana Yao, took to Instagram to express her shock after seeing a photo of Larsa and Bealey holding hands, per People.
“Wow…I don’t even know this man,” she wrote. “This is wild y’all I’m seeing it for the first time just like y’all.”
Although Larsa publicly claimed Beasley was separated when they started to date, Yao claimed that wasn’t true.
"We had spoken about it. It wasn't a secret. I know a lot of people that are married and exiting. I've played that part. So for me, if you're not being shady and you're telling me all your stuff, I'm going to believe you," Larsa later explained to Hollywood Unlocked of the short-lived relationship. “They had issues before. It had nothing to do with me, so I wasn't thinking anything about it. If you spent a minute Googling their situation, it wasn't the ideal situation way before me."
Whether it was the ongoing drama or something else, the romance between Larsa and Beasley fizzled after just four months, according to E! Online.

When did Larsa Pippen start dating Marcus Jordan?
Larsa was first linked to Marcus in the fall of 2022, but initially claimed the pair were just friends.
"I'm dating. This is, like, the first time I feel like I’m grown. You know, I always felt like I needed to be with someone, and I feel like this is the first time where I’m just happy and working on my brands, my kids, and just dating and having fun,”she told The Daily Dish in December 2022.
But just one month later, Marcus and Larsa were ready to make their love official. Larsa posted an Instagram photo with Marcus in January of 2023 confirming the romance. In the photo, the Only Fans entrepreneur is holding hands with Marcus as they pose at the Trophy Room, Marcus’ high-end shoe store, in front of a display of Michael’s Bulls jersey.
Larsa Pippen Shoots Down Criticism
While the relationship initially raised some eyebrows, Larsa has repeatedly insisted she wasn’t close to Michael Jordan or his family during the Bulls' reign in the 1990s and only met Marcus about four years before they started to date at a pal’s party.
“I feel like I should have love, I should be able to date who I want, I should be able to live happy and just go wherever I want to go and not be judged every time I’m seen with someone,” she said in a Feb. 28 episode of Tamron Hall.
According to Larsa, their families have been supportive of the romance and she shot down any notion that their 16-year age gap had created any problems between the pair.
“When you’re an adult, I think your parents just want to see you happy. My parents want to see me happy, his parents want to see him happy,” she said. “We’re in a great place.”
Are Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan engaged?
While there’s no wedding bells just yet, Larsa shared at the BravoCon Live After Show in early November that she’s hopeful she may have something sparkly for her ring finger soon.
"I feel like I really love being married and I think that Marcus and I are a great couple, and I feel like we're enjoying our time together. And we have so much in common. So yeah, I'm hoping so,” she said.
