What would you do if your dad straight up condemned your new relationship, and to the media? Well, that’s what Marcus Jordan is up against with his father being blatantly unhappy about his romance.
Michael Jordan, known as one of the best NBA players of all time, has flatly confirmed that he doesn’t support his son’s relationship with Real Housewives of Miami star Larsa Pippen, 48.
Though Marcus, 32, is believed to have met Larsa four years ago at a party, the pair hid their connection due to the reality star's ex-husband being a rival of Marcus' famous father.
Scottie Pippen - also a former NBA star - is a long-time opposition of Michael Jordan after they had a dramatic fall out, forgetting the years of a successful partnership when playing for the Chicago Bulls.

He and Larsa were married for 20 years before finally calling it quits and finalizing their divorce in 2021.
It is believed Larsa and Marcus started seeing each other in 2022 - but it looks like MJ himself isn't best pleased with the romance.
When asked by paparazzi this week about his thoughts on the pair after a dinner at Matignon in Paris, the NBA star initially laughed it off before being asked again, which is when he flat out said: “No”.
Now, this is in stark contrast to what Larsa has been sharing to others around her as in an interview on The Tamron Hall Show earlier this year, she was asked about how she gets along with the Jordan family.
The OnlyFans model replied: “I feel like, we've spent holidays together and it's good. We're in a great place."
As a member of The Real Housewives of Miami, Larsa’s messy antics have been a source of TV gold, such as drink throwing and shady comments.
Even her off-screen life has been filled with dramatics, from posting cryptic messages on Instagram about an affair she had with another NBA player, Malik Beasley, in 2020 to then denying that she knew about his marriage at all - simply messy.
Now, fans are excited to know what a new season will bring as she continues to be public about her relationship with her 32-year-old beau.
The public interest surrounding their relationship is especially heightened due to Scottie sharing online that his ex-wife's OnlyFans business took a sharp downturn due to her love affair with Marcus.
The two lovebirds talked about this in their podcast Separation Anxiety, to which Larsa candidly asked Marcus how he felt about her OnlyFans account and whether he had considered asking her to delete it.
Marcus took an opinion that some might be surprised by, saying that he 'did not have a problem with it' as he considered it a 'source of income' for her.
However, Larsa admitted that her OnlyFans has taken a downturn since she got into a relationship with Marcus and even confided that she would quit if he asked her to.
She said: "Well, by the way, it’s not good for business since I’ve been with you. Literally, the people that write me on there are not happy I’m in a relationship with you. But it’s fun."
Well, at least they are enjoying themselves... Much to the dismay of Jordan Sr.
