Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan have had a highly publicized on-and-off relationship.
After a passionate romance that began in 2022 and lasted for about a year and a half, something seemed to go wrong. In February 2024, on Super Bowl Sunday, the Real Housewives of Miami star erased all photos of Marcus from her Instagram and unfollowed him, a move he mirrored. However, just days later, the two were seen together on Valentine’s Day, leaving fans puzzled.
Aside from the ups and downs of their relationship, Larsa and Marcus’ romance had always drawn significant attention. Larsa, who was previously married to NBA legend Scottie Pippen— Michael Jordan’s former Chicago Bulls teammate—faced extra scrutiny due to the age gap between her and Michael’s son. Despite the criticism, however, the couple seemed to flourish, frequently displaying affection in public and growing closer over time.
In fact, she all but gushed over him in a February 2023 interview with PEOPLE. “For me, I just could never be open and open to different guys,” she told the outlet of dating before finding love with Marcus. “I would find faults in every guy… I had all these quirky things and then low and behold, Marcus drops down from heaven. And I’m like, I like everything about him.”
She also explained that because of their affection, she wanted to please him. “I feel like I always joke around and I say, ‘Oh my God, if Marcus told me to color my hair green, I’m going to do it,’” she said at the time. “Just because I feel like I have to make him happy because he makes me so happy.”
Here’s a look back at Larsa and Marcus’ full relationship timeline.
The polarizing pair was first linked on September 4, 2022, stepping out for lunch at high-profile Japanese restaurant Zuma in Miami. TMZ reported at the time that it was a double date, with another couple joining them. According to the outlet, Larsa “seemed to be trying to keep a low profile and got a little skittish when she realized folks had spotted her/were taking pics.” The appearance came almost a year after Larsa parted ways with Scottie after 19 years and four children together in December of 2021.
