How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Miami on Peacock and the Bravo App.

On Season 6, Episode 11 of The Real Housewives of Miami, Larsa and her boyfriend, Marcus Jordan, picked up Larsa's daughter, Sophia, from the airport. "I'm super excited you're here!" Larsa said. 

Later, as the three got settled in for dinner in Larsa's Miami penthouse (take a tour in the video above), Larsa shared more details about why she lives in Florida while her now 15-year-old is in California. 

"Sophia is a freshman in high school. She wanted to go to school in LA this year," Larsa shared in an interview during the episode, which aired on January 10. "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 LA, 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."

As Larsa, who also shares sons Scotty Jr., Preston, and Justin with her ex-husband  Scottie Pippen, looked ahead to the time she was about to spend with her daughter in Miami, she told Sophia, "We're gonna have the best summer. We're going everywhere, just so you know."

Larsa Pippen's update on her kids

Larsa shared more updates on her kids during a recent episode of Bravo's Hot Mic podcast. "I've raised four kids," she told host Alex Baskin. "My son plays basketball with, you know, the Lakers, my 18-year-old son is being recruited by all these Ivy League schools, my other son's in college, my daughter's a model. For me, my success is based on how I've taken care of my kids [and] my businesses. I live a life of purpose."

In early 2023, Larsa gushed to BravoTV.com about her kids following their dreams. “I want my kids to do the things that make them feel good, and I feel like if they’re comfortable doing whatever passion or whatever they want to pursue, I feel like I’m excited to help,” she said.
