Michael Jordan has made it clear that he does not approve of his son, Marcus, dating Larsa Pippen.

The NBA legend was spotted leaving dinner at Matignon in Paris Sunday when he was asked about his thoughts on his 32-year-old son being in a relationship with Larsa, who is 48 years old. The star, who is considered the G.O.A.T by many, first broke into laughter.

However, when reporters with TMZ doubled down on him, asking if he approved of the relationship, he told the photog “No!” He was asked the same question yet again and he shook his head to make it clear where he stood in giving the relationship his blessings.

Jordan’s take on the relationship seemed to be dynamically different from what Larsa told a few months ago on ‘The Tamron Hall Show.’ When asked about her equation with the Jordan family, she said, “I feel like, we’ve spent holidays together and it’s good. We’re in a great place.”

Marcus and Larsa have been dating for quite some time now. When they met for the first time, Larsa had reportedly given Marcus her phone under a different name to prevent anyone from finding out about the couple

Michael’s aversion toward the two of them dating also could be because of his relationship with Larsa’s ex-husband Scottie Pippen. The pair shared a friendship when they won several championships over the years in Chicago. However, since then their relationship has soured and they have had a brutal falling out.

“They glorified Michael Jordan while not giving nearly enough praise to me and my proud teammates,” Pippen wrote in his November 2021 Unguarded memoir, speaking about Jordan’s The Last Dance docuseries. “Michael deserved a large portion of the blame. The producers had granted him editorial control of the final product. The doc couldn’t have been released otherwise. He was the leading man and the director.”

Pippen was also upset that his contributions to the Bulls’ success were excluded from the documentary. “I don’t think it was that accurate in terms of really defining what was accomplished in one of the greatest eras of basketball, but also by two of the greatest players — and one could even put that aside and say the greatest team of all time,” the Arkansas native told U.K.’s The Guardian in December 2020. “I didn’t think those things stood out in the documentary. I thought it was more about Michael trying to uplift himself and to be glorified. I think it also backfired to some degree in that people got a chance to see what kind of personality Michael had.”
