Michael Jordan has issued a frank response to the relationship between his son Marcus and Larsa Pippen, the wife of his former teammate, Scottie Pippen.
The father-and-son relationship turned sour after the release of the popular Netflix documentary series The Last Dance in 2020, but the romance between his 32-year-old son and Larsa, 49, has only added fuel to the fire. Larsa had previously claimed Michael had given her his blessing to date Marcus but earlier this month, the six-time NBA champion was asked by a reporter if he approved of their relationship, to which he said “no.”
According to Marcus, he reached out to his father to discuss the matter, to which the former Chicago Bulls star replied: “You don’t need my approval.” During an appearance on the Separation Anxiety podcast alongside Larsa, Marcus claimed the root of how Jordan feels about his relationship is due to the strained relationship with his former Bulls teammate, but also suggested his father’s comment may have been a joke.
