Michael Jordan is one of the most iconic figures in sports history, and his approval is highly sought after. However, when it comes to his son Marcus Jordan’s relationship with Larsa Pippen, Jordan has made it clear that he does not approve. The revelation of Jordan’s disapproval has sent shockwaves through the sports community, with many fans expressing their surprise and disappointment. According to Larsa, the comments made by Jordan “traumatized” her. However, Marcus suggested that Michael later called him to clarify his comment.

Jordan’s disapproval of the relationship was first made public in a video of him being asked by a reporter. The reporter asked Jordan if he approved of his son’s relationship with his former teammate Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife, Larsa Pippen, to which Jordan responded with a simple “No.” This revelation came as a surprise to many, as Larsa had previously claimed that Michael had given her his blessing to date Marcus. However, Jordan’s subsequent clarification suggests that he may not have been entirely truthful about his approval of the relationship.
Marcus Jordan Reaches Out to Michael Jordan
After seeing the video of his father’s disapproval, Marcus reached out to him to discuss the matter. According to Marcus, Michael told him that he didn’t need his approval to date whoever he wanted.
Michael said: “You don’t need my approval.”
This response seems to suggest that Michael’s initial disapproval of the relationship was not personal, but rather a reflection of his disapproval of Larsa’s ex-husband, Scottie Pippen. Jordan and Pippen have a long-standing feud, and it is possible that Michael’s disapproval of the relationship was simply a way of taking a shot at his former teammate.
Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan’s Relationship
Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan have been dating for over a year now, and they have shown no signs of letting up. Despite the public disapproval of their relationship, the couple seems determined to continue dating.
In an episode of their podcast, “Separation Anxiety,” Larsa and Marcus confirmed that they are living together.
Marcus Jordan: “Are we officially living together? Because I know what I think”
Larsa Pippen: “I mean yeah!”
Marcus Jordan: “I feel like we are… but we aren’t. I feel like we are because whenever I’m in Miami, I’m here and I’m spending the majority of the month here versus Orlando.”
Larsa Pippen: “So three days and then you go back to Orlando means we’re not living together?”
Marcus Jordan: “No…we’re definitely living together, but I still do have my place in Orlando. I go back for Trophy Room…often for work. So, I’d say we’re living together but it’s like a 50/50…would you agree with that?”
Larsa Pippen: “50/50?”
Marcus Jordan: “It’s like three weeks I’m here and there’s like a week that I’m in Orlando…so it’s not 50/50…it’s more like 75/25!”
Larsa Pippen: “It’s more like 85/15!”
They also discussed the back-and-forth conversation about Marcus’ living arrangements in Miami and Orlando.
