11 Photos Of Scottie and Larsa Pippen's Kids, Then and Now
The Real Housewives of Miami cast member's children, Sophia, Justin, Preston, and Scotty Jr., live in L.A.
Among all the iconic women in the Real Housewives franchise, Larsa Pippen's premiere-to-present-day transformation has been something to behold. When we first met the Chicago native in 2011, she was packing to take her four little kids to Disney World.
"We have three boys and one girl," shared Larsa of her children with then-husband Scottie Pippen in Season 1, Episode 1 of The Real Housewives of Miami. "Our oldest son, Scotty, is just like his dad: Super, super competitive. Preston, our second son, is a little more laid back. Justin is four; he basically, like, dominates the house. He yells, he screams, he has to have his way. But he looks just like me, so he's a cutie. And then there's baby Sophia who's 15 months old."
When the show returned for Season 4 in 2021, Larsa was recently divorced and the four Pippen kids had grown into impressive people in their own right. The boys were living in Los Angeles with their dad, while Sophia and Larsa were making their home in Miami. Sophia has since moved to Los Angeles as well.

"Sophia is a freshman in high school. She wanted to go to school in L.A. this year," Larsa shared during Season 6, Episode 11. "It's hard. For sure, it's hard. But, for me, Miami is home. Like, that's where my heart and my soul is, and Sophia loves being in L.A., and so it's okay. You know, her dad is there. She kind of goes back and forth, and she's happy. That's the only thing that I care about."
