Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan have broken up — again.

The Real Housewives of Miami star confirmed their split while talking to Entertainment Tonight in July 2024. This is the third time Pippen and Jordan have called it quits since they went public with their relationship in January 2023.

The pair first met through mutual friends at a party in Los Angeles in 2019 and developed “a great foundation as friends,” Pippen told PEOPLE.

Their romance made headlines for their 16-year age difference as well as their complicated family ties: Pippen’s ex-husband, Scottie Pippen, was a teammate of Michael Jordan’s on the Bulls in the ‘90s. While there was some “shock” initially, Jordan’s family thinks Pippen is “great.”

From insisting they were “just friends” to discussing the possibility of having children together, here’s everything to know about Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan’s relationship.

Pippen appeared on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live in December, where she continued to play coy about her “friendship” with Jordan — who allegedly accompanied her to the taping, according to the Daily Mail.

Cohen pressed Pippen on her ex’s feelings about the romance rumors, given the strained relationship between him and Jordan’s dad Michael Jordan, Scottie’s former teammate on the Chicago Bulls in the ‘80s and ‘90s.

“What does Scottie think about your friendship?” Cohen asked. Pippen replied that she didn’t know, as they had never discussed it. When asked if she understood why some people were shocked by her friendship with Jordan, she said, “I think a lot of people think that our families were really close and intertwined, and they really weren’t.”

She added, “Like I never really knew Marcus’ mom or them; I just recently met them a couple of years ago.”

When Cohen suggested the two were actually friends “with benefits,” Pippen shot him down, saying, “We’re friends.”

“There’s been conversations around [having kids],” said Jordan. “When we go and we meet people, or I’m introducing you to some of my friends, or you introduce me to some of your friends I feel like it gets brought up.”

“But I feel like we’ve never had a one-on-one, private conversation about having children,” he went on.

“It’s one of those things where I think time will tell, you know?” said Pippen, who is a mom of four kids — sons Scotty Jr., Preston and Justin, plus daughter Sophia, — with ex Scottie.

Later in the episode, the reality star spoke about the “hurtful” comments made about their 16-year age gap, and how they were working to tune them out and focus on their ability to “cherish” their differences.

“In my mind, when I would be like, ‘What am I looking for?’ Age was not one of the things that was on my list,” Pippen said about what she was seeking in a partner. “It was more about character, person. Just like who they were as a human being rather than how old were they. Like, that was the last thing on my mind.”
