Now, Larsa used to be married to Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan's teammate. They had tension between them, and recently, Scottie said that despite the fact he and Michael were successful teammates, they ultimately are not friends. He also revealed that he found Michael's depiction of him in his docuseries The Last Dance to be "condescending." He also called Michael "selfish."

On The Tamron Hall Show, Tamron asked Larsa about her relationship with 32-year-old Marcus Jordan, who's 16 years her junior.

Larsa said she doesn't think age determines maturity. Then Tamron got right to asking the tough question. "I think for people, the age thing is secondary. The thing is — you are a beautiful woman. You can date anybody you wanted to. Why would you date Michael Jordan's son, knowing that it's been pretty clear that Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan didn't have this relationship people thought and certainly don't have it now?"

Tamron then flashed a quote of Scottie saying he felt like he was depicted as a prop in the docuseries.

Tamron then re-asked, "But you could date anyone in the world, why date Michael Jordan's son?" Larsa responded, "I didn't plan it like that. We were just together a lot with our friends. You gotta remember — being with an athlete, you get scrutinized a lot. People don't think you should have a life once you get divorced. I feel like I should have love and be able to date who I want and live happy and go wherever I wanna go and not be judged every time I'm seen with someone. It's hard."

Tamron then said, "It's also hard meeting their parents. Have you met Michael Jordan and Juanita Jordan?"

Larsa said that she has their blessing and that they spent holidays together, so all is good.
