Larsa Pippen, ex-wife of Scottie, and Marcus Jordan, son of Michael Jordan, split after 2 years
Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan have called it quits.
The ex-wife of Scottie Pippen and son of Michael Jordan, his former teammate, have ended their relationship after nearly two years. The split was confirmed by a person familiar with the situation who was not authorized to speak publicly.
The former couple broke up weeks after reconciling. The "Traitors" Season 2 contestants announced they were taking "time apart" last month.
"They have decided to take some time apart to reevaluate their relationship. This has nothing to do with any family input, but solely for their personal growth," a rep told USA TODAY in February.
The relationship between the "Real Housewives of Miami" star, 49, and Marcus Jordan, 33, led to scrutinization due to their age difference and association through their ex-husband and father, respectively.
Michael Jordan shared his thoughts on the relationship when paparazzi asked whether he approved of the couple, with Jordan laughing and replying with a firm "no."
However, the couple insisted they had the support of their respective families. Marcus Jordan said on an episode of the "Pablo Torre Finds Out" podcast in October that if the couple got married, he hoped his father would be there as his best man.
"I was the best man at (Michael Jordan's) wedding and the best man at my brother's wedding, and so, obviously, we'll keep that tradition going," Marcus said.
In two Instagram posts following the breakup announcement, the "Real Housewives of Miami" star wrote a pair of cryptic captions.
"Humble enough to know I can lose it all. Confident enough to know I can get it all back," she captioned a selfie on Tuesday, wearing a white halter top and necklace. On Wednesday, she captioned a full-body photo of herself wearing sunglasses and a blue tank top: "Allow me to reintroduce myself 💙"
