The age gap alone sparked conversation. Larsa is 49, Marcus is 33. But the real drama came from the family connection. Scottie and Michael are former teammates and basketball icons. Now Larsa was dating her ex-husband’s former teammate’s son. Complicated, messy, and reality-TV-ready.
According to sources, Michael Jordan was not thrilled about the relationship, adding another layer of tension to the story.

Cracks in the Romance
Larsa and Marcus tried to brush off criticism and concerns about the age difference. They posted couple photos, went on trips, and acted like they were in it for the long haul.
But for viewers, the cracks were visible. The chemistry often felt forced, the relationship seemed performative, and everyone suspected it would implode eventually.
Breakup Caught on RHOM
Now that the relationship is over, RHOM cameras are documenting every awkward, painful moment. Recent episodes show Larsa opening up to co-stars about problems with Marcus.
She talks about feeling like she was putting in more effort, feeling disrespected, and questioning whether Marcus was ever as invested as she was. Scenes of her crying and venting to friends give fans a front-row seat to heartbreak no one really supported in the first place.
Marcus has made only occasional appearances. His absence during most of the breakup storyline speaks volumes. Fans debate whether he’s classy or just avoiding accountability.

Social Media Shade
Because this is 2025, nothing stays private. Both Larsa and Marcus have been throwing subtle shade online.
Larsa posts cryptic quotes about knowing your worth. Marcus likes posts and follows new women. Fans read the tea: he’s moving on, she’s processing the breakup publicly.
RHOM audiences are dissecting every post, like, and comment. Some sympathize with Larsa; others feel she should have anticipated the drama with someone younger and so closely tied to her past.
Why Larsa Says It Ended
In interviews and on the show, Larsa cited the age difference as a major issue. Marcus was in a different life phase and not ready for her level of commitment. She hinted at trust issues and feeling more invested than he was.
Rumors swirl that Marcus may have been unfaithful or entertaining other options. Larsa hasn’t confirmed, but her comments about disrespect and disappointment leave little to the imagination.
Family Drama: Michael and Scottie
Neither Michael Jordan nor Scottie Pippen has publicly commented. Sources suggest Michael is relieved. He reportedly never approved of the relationship, especially given Larsa’s history with Scottie.
Scottie has stayed completely out of it, focusing on his life and relationships.
The Talk Lounge Take
Let’s be real: Larsa and Marcus were never going to last. The age gap, complicated family ties, and performative energy all pointed to this messy ending.
Larsa deserves someone ready for her. Marcus should focus on dating within his stage of life. But the silver lining? This breakup is gold for RHOM content. Heartbreak is hard, but reality-TV heartbreak comes with fame and continued screen time.
The Reality TV Lesson
The story of Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan is a reminder of how messy love can be when cameras are involved. Public scrutiny amplifies every misstep. Fans get to dissect, judge, and cheer from the sidelines.
For Larsa, this chapter closes a controversial relationship but keeps her relevant. For Marcus, moving quietly may be the smartest play.
