Months After Declaring Love For Marcus Jordan, Larsa Pippen Revealed Setting Up Her Girlfriends With Michael Jordan's Son: "Didn't Want the Smoke"

Michael Jordan’s son, Marcus Jordan, and Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife, Larsa Pippen have been dating for some time now. Rumors of the two getting together started all the way back in September of 2022. And it didn’t take long before all the theories were turned into reality. However, before they got together, before they confessed love on Instagram, and before rumors even started, Larsa wasn’t looking to get with Marcus whatsoever. Instead, as she revealed on the ‘Separation Anxiety’ podcast, she was trying to set the young Jordan up with someone else entirely.

While the couple is very happy with each other, calling their union a controversial one doesn’t quite cut it. After all, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen aren’t exactly the best of friends anymore. And so, given their recent beef, many were worried this would only worsen all the drama. However, everything seems to be just fine so far.

Larsa Pippen recommended dating Marcus Jordan to all her girlfriends

After all the rumors about these two, it’s easy to think that Marcus and Larsa started with a fling, which slowly evolved into them entering a relationship. However, as Pippen revealed at the 2:02 minute mark of the ‘Separation Anxiety’ podcast, alongside Jordan himself. Here is what she said.

“It’s crazy because I thought you were my homie for a long time. And when I’d talk about you, I’d tell all my girlfriends, ‘You have to date Marcus! Because he is hot, he is smart, he is cute. He’s amazing, and I feel like you guys, like one of my close friends should date him!’

You know I thought really high of you to tell my friends that. Because like, I didn’t want the smoke”

The couple later went on to talk about how neither of them ever pictured a relationship when they’d just met. Someone taking a random picture during lunch kickstarted the weirdest rumors.

It is a bit crazy to think about what would have happened if even one of Larsa Pippen’s friends took up on her offer to date Marcus Jordan. But then again, given the moves Michael Jordan’s son pulled to get with her, something tells us he just wouldn’t have accepted that outcome.

Marcus once pulled a trip to the Bahamas to hit on Larsa

When Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan first got together, many accused the former of being a predator of sorts due to their age difference. However, as it turns out, it wasn’t Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife who made the first move. Instead, it was Michael Jordan’s son. And it was a darn big one too.

After finding Larsa disagreeing with him on dating, Marcus quickly devised a plan to win her over. And apparently, a massive part of the plan was going to the Bahamas so he could spend more quality time with her. Read all the details of this mischievous plan right here.
