Charles Barkley expressed his disapproval of Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan’s relationship, feeling sorry for both Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. He believes the messy situation invites unnecessary opinions from others, particularly on the internet, where cruelty can run rampant. Larsa and Scottie were previously married, sharing four children, before their divorce in 2021. Larsa then began dating Marcus, Michael Jordan’s son, creating tension due to the long-standing rivalry between Michael and Scottie.
Barkley, who played alongside Scottie and Michael during his NBA career, admitted that he would not want his teammate dating his daughter, highlighting the conflict and tension that can arise from such situations. He emphasized that there are no winners in this scenario, just losers, as the relationships between Michael, Scottie, and Larsa will likely never be the same.
Despite Michael Jordan expressing disapproval of Marcus dating Larsa, Marcus brushed off his father’s comments as playful banter due to their family dynamic. Larsa, in turn, felt traumatized by the situation but understood Marcus’s perspective on the matter. However, their relationship hit a rough patch in February when Larsa removed all mentions of Marcus from her social media, signaling their breakup after one year together.
Prior to their breakup, Larsa and Marcus appeared on a reality show together and managed to navigate through a speed bump in their relationship. Despite filming a reunion special and stating that they were doing fine, they eventually split again and unfollowed each other on social media. Larsa later revealed that they were on different paths, a sentiment echoed by Marcus. Despite this, they were seen holding hands one month later, prompting speculation about a reconciliation.
The on-again, off-again nature of Larsa and Marcus’s relationship has kept fans guessing about their status. While they have not publicly confirmed whether they have rekindled their romance, their actions and public appearances suggest that they may be back together. Amidst the drama and speculation surrounding their relationship, the couple continues to navigate the challenges that come with dating in the public eye, specifically given the high-profile nature of their families and the potential impact on their children.
