The Real Housewives of Miami star Larsa Pippen may be ready for the next major milestone in his relationship with his boyfriend Marcus Jordan.
“I feel like I love being married,” Pippen, 49, said exclusively We weekly while attending BravoCon on Saturday, November 4. “I think being married to someone who is growing and has a partner. … I feel like I’m definitely going to get married again.”
Us broke the news of Pippen and Jordan’s romance in September 2022. At the time, they kept their relationship on the back burner due to the feud between Larsa’s ex-husband, Scottie Pippen and Marcus’ father, Michael Jordan, who were former teammates with the Chicago Bulls in the 1980s and 1990s. (Pippen, 58, slammed Jordan’s The last dance docuseries in his 2021 memoir, Unattendedclaiming it didn’t earn him and the rest of their fellow Bulls players “enough praise.”)
Despite the tension between their loved ones, Larsa and Marcus made their relationship official on Instagram in January, when Marcus began making guest appearances on RHOM season 5. He is expected to make a heavier appearance in season 6 of the Bravo hit, which premiered earlier this month.
“He was actually very natural,” Larsa said Us at BravoCon from Marcus joining the RHOM form. “He’s very open and confident and I feel like he’s a really great castmate.”
The couple’s romance has only continued to blossom over the past year — and both Larsa and Marcus have teased that a wedding may be in the works. A source said this exclusively in August Us that Marcus Larsa “gave a promise,” noting that the duo is “talking about marriage right now.”
Last month, Marcus fueled the engagement rumors even further when he said the couple is “looking for locations” for their upcoming nuptials on an episode of the “Pablo Torres finds out“podcast.
Marcus noted that he and Larsa also have to figure out if they want to share the big day with the rest of the world by filming it. RHOM. He added that he and Larsa are both “very private people,” so an ideal situation would be to have “multiple weddings.”
“One private for our family and friends, and maybe one that’s a little more public,” he said. “But you know what, time will tell. I guess time will tell.”
While the wedding bells may be ringing soon, the lovebirds may have some hurdles to jump through when it comes to Marcus’ family. Michael, 60, made headlines in July after joking about Larsa and Marcus’ romance. When asked if he approved of his son’s romance with Larsa, Michael replied, “No.”
Larsa — who shares children Scott Jr., 22, Preston, 21, Justin 18, and Sophie, 14, with Scottie — later shared that she didn’t appreciate the digs against her. “I was a little embarrassed,” she said on a July episode of “Fear of abandonment”, which she organizes together with Marcus. “I was a bit traumatized. I’m like, ‘Oh, my God. What do we do?'”
While Marcus laughed off his father’s criticism at the time, saying the NBA all-star was just “being playful,” Larsa insisted she didn’t find it “funny.”
One relationship that has not seen any drama is that between Marcus and Larsa’s children, who have formed a close bond. “They love Marcus. Like, they love him, and I feel like we talk about the same things,” Larsa — who finalized her divorce from Scottie in 2021 — told exclusively Us in June. “So when I talk to my oldest son Scotty about basketball, Marcus is involved in the conversation. [Then when I am] While I’m talking to my son Preston about fashion, Marcus has a clothing store – he has a boutique – so he’s joining in. It’s just an easy fit for our family.
Whether or not marriage is in the offing, Larsa said Us Saturday that she couldn’t be happier with where her life is now.
“I feel like it’s great. I’m in a great place. “I love my boyfriend so much, and so this is where I am right now,” she said, adding that viewers “get a chance to see a different side of me when I’m in a relationship” during RHOM season 6.
