Things are heating up betweenLarsa Pippenand her new beau.
Pippen, 49, andMarcus Jordan, son of NBA legendMichael Jordan, posed together on a yacht, with the Bravo star lounging on her stomach beside Jordan, 32, in a new Instagram post.
The couple’s tropical getaway comes a few weeks after Pippen revealed onJana Kramer’sWhine Downpodcast thatshe and her boyfriend’s father have not spoken.
“No, I haven’t hung out with his dad,” she shared, referring to the NBA legend.
Larsa spent more than 20 years married to Jordan’s Chicago Bulls teammate, Scottie Pippen. The pairdivorced in 2021, citing “irreconcilable differences.” They share sonsScotty Jr., 22, Preston, 21, Justin, 18, and daughterSophia, 14.
Despite it not being a topic of conversation with her boyfriend’s father, theReal Housewives of Miamistar acknowledged the unique circumstances her new relationship created.
“I feel like it’s probably awkward for them, for my ex and [Michael], but I get it,” she told Kramer, 39. “I’m not crazy. I understand it’s different for them.”
She added that her previous marriage isn’t a factor in her current relationship. “We never talk about them. We have our own relationship, we have our own day-to-day lives, and it doesn’t really involve anyone else other than us and my kids.”
Her insights into her relationship came shortly afterMichael publicly disapproved of his son’s relationshipwith her.
While leaving a restaurant, paparazzi asked the NBA legend if he approved of the pair. At first, Michael simply laughed the question off, but as they pressed further, he responded: “No!”
