Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen might agree on one thing these days.
Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen, who went public with their relationship in January, might not have his father, Michael Jordan’s blessing after all, the NY Post reports.
The NBA legend was spotted leaving dinner at Matignon in Paris on Sunday, when one paparazzi member asked what he thinks about Marcus, 32, and 48-year-old Larsa’s relationship.
Jordan — who six championships with Larsa’s ex-husband Scottie on the Bulls — let out a loud laugh while getting into an SUV with his wife of 10 years, Yvette Prieto, in a video obtained by TMZ.
Then, when asked if he approves of his son’s relationship with the “Real Housewives of Miami” star, Jordan said: “No!”
Jordan’s reaction didn’t seem to coincide with comments Larsa made about their relationship during a television appearance on “The Tamron Hall Show” on March 1.
While discussing her romance with Marcus, Larsa said she had “recently been hanging out” with Jordan and his ex-wife, Juanita Vanoy (Marcus’ mother), and that everyone was in a “great place.”

“I don’t really want to talk about them,” Larsa said about Marcus’ parents. “I feel like it’s not about my parents or his parents. They’re all happy. Our whole family is fine.
“I feel like it’s more about where I am, where [Marcus] is. I feel like we’re in a great place. We motivate each other. We’re really happy being together. And I feel like that’s the most important thing.”
When asked if she feels as though she had Jordan and Vanoy’s blessing to date their son, Larsa said, “Yeah, I feel like we’re great.
“I feel like we’ve spent holidays together and it’s good. We’re in a great place.”
There was widespread speculation about Jordan’s reaction to his son dating his former teammate.
Jordan and Pippen’s relationship seemed to deteriorate after the release of “The Last Dance” in April 2020.
Pippen has been vocal about his issue with his portrayal in the Netflix-ESPN documentary, which chronicled the Chicago Bulls dynasty.
Separately, Pippen took a few jabs at Jordan in his November 2021 memoir, “Unguarded.”
Last month, Larsa and Marcus launched their joint podcast, “Separation Anxiety,” where they dive into their relationship, their pasts and criticisms about their age gap.
In a recent episode, the reality star shared that she kept their communication quiet in the early stages and put him under a fake name in her phone.
Larsa and Marcus met for the first time four years ago at a party in Los Angeles, where the two were introduced by a mutual friend.
Larsa’s divorce from Pippen, 57, was finalised in December 2021, roughly three years after she filed.
The Pippens initially split in 2016, but reconciled a short while after.
The exes married in 1997 and share four children: sons Scotty Jr., 22, Preston, 21, and Justin, 18, and 14-year-old daughter Sophia.
