Larsa Pippen, Marcus Jordan Fling Reportedly Over After Year-Long Love Fest
Approaching Valentine's Day, one of Miami's hottest basketball media couples has shockingly called it quits.
Despite shooting for a happily ever after, NBA Z-listers Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan reportedly ended their relationship. Suspicions about the split arose after Larsa scrubbed Marcus Jordan from her Instagram account, reacting like a disgruntled All-Star on a losing team.
Pippen also posed a question on her Instagram Stories that made it abundantly clear she wanted her followers to stop following Marcus on social media.
Page Six confirmed speculation of the couple's split. Tensions reportedly surfaced in the relationship regarding NBA GOAT Michael Jordan's influence on the relationship.
The couple split after over a year of dating. But what a packed year it was.
Pippen and Jordan flaunted their 16-year age gap and awkward shared basketball history between families amid their Miami love saga.
They started a podcast together, titled Separation Anxiety, to answer the most scathing rumors about their romance. The pairing wanted to be together forever; Pippen even bragged about having sex with Marcus ‘five times a night' … showing off their chemistry.

The young MJ reportedly intended to marry Larsa, also implying MJ would be his Best Man. But did the GOAT want anything to do with his son's relationship? Not exactly.
On several occasions, Larsa and Marcus had to answer for the acrimony between Marcus' father and Larsa's longtime ex-hubby, Scottie Pippen, who played with Michael. Michael Jordan once threw cold water on his son's relationship with Larsa during a trip to Europe last year.
Larsa nearly suffered an emotional breakdown in the aftermath.

"Marcus said Michael was joking when he said he didn’t approve, but it really mortified Larsa," a source close to Pippen and Jordan's split told Page Six.
Though short-lived, Larsa and Marcus' relationship is etched in the pantheon of oddest NBA-related flings since Andre Drummond dated a Nickelodeon star. Considering Larsa, 49, was suspected of first meeting Marcus, 33, at a young age when MJ and Scottie were teammates, things didn't appear right from the jump.
Are things truly over between Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan? Or is this simply a timeout from their year-long romance? Let us know: alejandro.avila@outkick.com.
