Larsa and Scottie Pippen Have Moved on From Their Lengthy Divorce Proceedings

Throughout her time on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Miami, Larsa Pippen, has addressed her marriage to former Chicago Bulls star Scottie Pippen.

The pair tied the knot just months before the team’s landmark season began, and they remained together throughout the rest of Scottie’s basketball career. But did the couple’s union survive his retirement?

Those who have followed Larsa and Scottie’s careers know the pair are now divorced after initially separating in November 2018. According to Bravo’s The Daily Dish, the couple also mutually filed for divorce in 2016 but called it off a few months later following a reconciliation.

The couple’s initial split came after it was revealed that Larsa had called police on Scottie twice over the span of three days. In one of the 911 recordings, which were obtained by TMZ, the mother of four tearfully asked the operator, "Can you send someone over here? My husband’s being really aggressive with me."

Larsa can be heard on the second recording saying, "My husband’s gotten crazy again with me." In a statement at the time, Scottie’s lawyers did not deny his wife’s claims, but noted, "Ms. Pippen did not make any allegations of physical violence by Mr. Pippen."

In November 2018, Larsa submitted a divorce filing that asked for joint legal and physical custody of the pair’s children: Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin, and Sophia. The Assyrian beauty also requested spousal support from Scottie, whose net worth is estimated at $20 million.

In December 2019, various outlets reported that the duo had reached an agreement in their split. By December 2021, the divorce was finalized, five years after the first filing.

Larsa and Scottie divorced after they spent nearly 20 years together as a married couple. In 2023, Larsa shared in a Season 6 episode of RHOM that she felt "trapped" in her marriage to the basketball legend due to him out-earning her.

"There's nothing worse than being in a relationship where you can't leave because you are financially stuck because of your partner," the Larsa Marie CEO admitted in a confessional. "That's, like, the worst."

Larsa said in the same episode, "Loose Lips" that, while she doesn't regret divorcing Scottie, she misses some of the moments they shared. Specifically, she missed being close to her in-laws, as she explained to her friend, Lisa Hochstein, who was in divorce proceedings with her ex, Lenny Hochstein.

"I was best friends with his sister, like she used to live with us,” Larsa said of Scottie's family.

When asked by Lisa if she missed her sister-in-law, Larsa admitted she missed "being able to call her cause she’s there with my kids.” Nonetheless, Larsa has moved on from the marriage and is starting over with someone with ties to the NBA. In 2022, she began dating Marcus Jordan, son of Scottie's rival, Michael Jordan. Although Larsa insists she and Marcus didn't meet through Scottie nor Michael, their romance caused tension between the families.

In 2023, Michael told TMZ he didn't support Larsa and Marcus being together. However, the couple remained together, though they hit a bump in the road in February 2024. At the time, Larsa and Marcus unfollowed each other on Instagram, and Larsa hinted that the couple had broken up when she created a poll asking her followers if they would be OK with their friends following their ex.

Days after Larsa and Marcus's split, the pair were spotted out and about for Valentine's Day 2024. Larsa later confirmed on Two T's in a Pod Podcast that they were back together and she wishes she hadn't made the "emotional" move of unfollowing Marcus and scrubbing their photos off of her account before they decided to work things out.

“I feel like I was very emotional," Larsa said on the podcast. "I wish I didn’t delete those photos. I didn’t even archive them, I couldn’t archive them, I just deleted them. I was just emotional and impulsive, I guess.”

Despite their separation, the 45-year-old is still willing to speak up for her ex when he becomes a trending topic on Twitter. After an episode of The Last Dance highlighted the pay disparity between Scottie and his Bulls teammate, Michael Jordan, fans threw a pity party in honor of the small forward and what many considered to be a measly contract.

But Larsa wasn’t about to let the internet make her former spouse feel bad about his salary. "Thx for your concern Scottie did ok," she tweeted, sharing a screenshot from a Bleacher Report article that lists the 54-year-old’s total NBA earnings at over $109 million, $20 million more than MJ’s.

In the days following her 2018 divorce filing, Larsa denied accusations that she’s a gold digger and cheater, claiming she "cried oceans" over her and Scottie’s relationship and that he "was nowhere around" when she needed him.

"I don’t care about money, I’ve had it my whole life," she wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post. "[People] are so insensitive to my life… My soul isn’t built for negativity."

When asked by a follower on Instagram if she’d like to get married again, Larsa simply responded, "Yes," but made a point of mentioning that she and Scottie are strictly co-parents these days.
