Inside Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan’s Split
In a surprising turn of events, Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan parted ways after more than one year of dating. On Monday, sources with direct knowledge revealed some details about the Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan split to Page Six. One insider cited the reason for the breakup as relationship tension, allegedly caused by Marcus’s dad, Michael Jordan’s public disapproval.
“Marcus said Michael was joking when he said he didn’t approve, but it really mortified Larsa,” the source explained.
The insider also listed the feud between Michael and Larsa’s ex-husband, Scottie Pippen, as another reason for friction between the couple. According to the source, the bad blood between the duo caused things to be complicated for Marcus and Larsa, even though they tried to overlook it. The informant relayed that family was a big deal for both parties, hence the need to take some time apart to evaluate their relationship.
“There is a baseline loyalty for each of them that made the relationship difficult to navigate,” the source said.
On the contrary, another insider noted that the split had nothing to do with family input. According to the source, the pair parted ways solely for their personal growth and might reunite after the emotions settle.
