Michael Jordan, the legendary NBA player, has made headlines recently by revealing his disapproval of his 32-year-old son Marcus’ age-gap romance with Larsa Pippen, who is 48 years old. The relationship between Marcus and Larsa began in September 2022, and since then, they have faced both support and criticism.
In a video obtained by TMZ Sports, Michael Jordan was seen dining at Matignon in Paris with his wife Yvette Prieto, who coincidentally also shares a 16-year age gap with the sportsman. When asked about his thoughts on Marcus’ romance with Larsa, Michael laughed and bluntly stated, “No!” before getting into the car.
This revelation contradicts Larsa’s previous comments, in which she claimed that Marcus’ family approved of their relationship, stating that they have spent holidays together and are in a great place. However, Michael’s disapproval suggests that there might be tensions within the family regarding the relationship.
Larsa Pippen, the ex-wife of basketball great Scottie Pippen, has been dating Marcus Jordan since September 2022. Despite the age gap, the couple claims to have a strong connection and even launched their podcast together called “Separation Anxiety with Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan.” They insist that age is just a number and that their compatibility and shared interests matter more than their age difference.
During an interview with E! News, Marcus addressed the judgments and assumptions people make about their relationship due to their famous last names. He said that as people get to know them better, they become more understanding and supportive of their relationship.
Larsa echoed Marcus’ sentiments, emphasizing that happiness is what matters most and that some people are just intent on spreading negativity. She believes that the people who know them well are happy for them and want to see them live their lives authentically.
While Larsa and Marcus seem confident in their relationship and claim to have the approval of Marcus’ parents, Michael Jordan and Juanita Jordan, the public’s response has been mixed. Some support their love, citing the notion that age should not dictate maturity or happiness. On the other hand, there are those who criticize the age gap and question the dynamics of their relationship, especially considering the past rivalry between Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan.
It’s essential to remember that everyone’s perspective on relationships and age differences is subjective, and what might work for one couple may not work for another. Ultimately, Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan are the ones involved in the relationship, and it is up to them to navigate their love and handle any challenges that come their way.
As the couple continues to face public scrutiny and judgment, they remain steadfast in their commitment to each other. Only time will tell how their relationship unfolds and whether they can weather the storm of public opinion and family dynamics. For now, Larsa and Marcus seem to be focused on building a life together and proving that love knows no boundaries, even if it means challenging societal norms and expectations.
