Former 'Real Housewives of Miami' star Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan, son of basketball legend Michael Jordan, were recently spotted together on Valentine's Day, sparking rumors that they may be working through their relationship troubles. The pair was seen at Trias Flowers & Gifts in Miami, Florida, just days after news broke that they had called it quits.
Photos obtained by TMZ showed Larsa and Marcus waiting in line at the flower shop, seemingly not trying to hide their presence. Larsa was dressed in a bright red sports bra and matching leggings, accessorized with sunglasses, while Marcus sported a white t-shirt, fanny pack, hat, and shades. As they left the store, they were seen carrying a vase filled with two dozen roses.
According to insiders, Larsa, 49, and Marcus, 33, called off their relationship after a year of dating due to tension that allegedly arose from Marcus' father, Michael Jordan, publicly denouncing their relationship to the paparazzi last year. While Marcus claimed that his father's disapproval was a joke, it reportedly deeply upset Larsa.
In addition to Michael's alleged interference, the ongoing feud between Michael and Larsa's ex-husband, Scottie Pippen, also contributed to the strain in Larsa and Marcus' relationship. The complicated history between the two basketball legends made it challenging for Larsa and Marcus to navigate their romance, despite their efforts to minimize its impact.
An insider revealed, 'The history between Michael and Scottie made things complicated, even if Larsa and Marcus did their best to make it a non-issue. At the end of the day, Michael is Marcus' dad and Scottie is the father of Larsa's children. Family comes before everything,' emphasizing the importance of their respective family dynamics.
Larsa's Instagram activity seemingly confirmed the breakup, as she removed all photos with Marcus and unfollowed him earlier this week. However, just before their Valentine's Day outing, Larsa re-followed Marcus on the social media platform, possibly indicating a potential reconciliation.
Whether Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan are genuinely working through their relationship troubles or simply spending time together as friends, their Valentine's Day rendezvous suggests that there may still be a chance for them to repair their bond. Only time will tell if they ultimately decide to give their love another shot.
