NBA legend Michael Jordan has seemingly changed his tune when it comes to his son’s choice of partner.
Marcus, 32, has been in a relationship with 48-year-old Larsa Pippen – the ex-wife of Michael’s former Chicago Bulls teammate Scottie – since September.

According to a video obtained by TMZ, Michael and his spouse, Yvette Prieto, were leaving a restaurant in Paris on Sunday when a bystander approached them and asked if they approved of Marcus and Larsa’s relationship.
“No!” Michael had stopped laughing and was now yelling.
And Michael just shook his head when the identical question was posed to him once more as he got into a taxi.
This raises some eyebrows even though it might have been nothing more than Michael having a joke.
In contrast, Larsa said everything was good when questioned about the Jordan family on March 1 during her visit on The Tamron Hall Show.
She acknowledged that they had “recently been hanging out with [Michael and his ex-wife Juanita Vanoy],” but she added, “I don’t really want to talk about them.”
It doesn’t seem to be about his or my parents. They’re all content. My family and I are doing well.
“Where [Marcus] is and where I am seem to be more important. We seem to be in a really good spot.
“We inspire one another. We truly enjoy one other’s company. And that seems to be the most crucial factor.”
“Fine” with her and Marcus’ relationship, according to the Real Housewives of Miami star, Michael and Juanita.
“I think we’re doing fine…It’s been nice spending holidays together. We’re in a fantastic position.”
After nineteen years of marriage, Larsa and Scottie produced four children: Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin, and Sophia.
2018 saw the two permanently part ways, and in December 2021 their divorce became formal.
Marcus operates The Trophy Room, a sportswear company, and was formerly a guard for UCF.
When Larsa and Marcus celebrated their first Valentine’s Day together earlier this year, Marcus gave her two enormous bouquets of flowers.
“Three words, 8 letters” is how he captioned a picture on Instagram, adding emojis of a heart and stars.
“Happy Valentines Day, Babe.”
In the meantime, she shared a picture of the two of them on a beach with the words “My forever Valentine.”
