Okay, so somebody’s lying…
Less than a week removed from Michael Jordan telling the paparazzi he does not approve of his son Marcus Jordan dating Larsa Pippen, the ex-wife of his former teammate Scottie Pippen, it’s been revealed that Marcus is insisting on the opposite.
Marcus and Larsa caused quite a stir with their shocking hookup last year and it seems to be part of the reason Scottie has been taking so many shots at MJ as of late.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight in a joint interview before the former Bulls star replied to the paparazzi, Marcus claimed that both his and Larsa’s families are okay with their relationship.
“Yeah, oh yeah,” he told the outlet regarding his dad’s approval on Sunday in a video that was only released this Wednesday, sometime before his dad’s brief moment with onlookers.
“Well, we spent some time together during the holidays,” he continued. “She came and visited some of my family, I visited some of her family, so I think that’s kinda what, once we realized our families were OK with it, then I feel like that was easier for us. We spent Thanksgiving together last year and, you know, my family loves her. They think she’s great.”
“And ultimately, I think my family just wants to see me happy. And so as long as I’m happy, they’re happy with, you know, where I’m living.”

Marcus said his family experienced some shock when he and Larsa found themselves in the news and he received some inquisitive texts. However, spending time with the family during the holidays smoothed things over.
“Everybody had an opinion at first,” he recalled. “I think there was some shock and interest early on, but I think that was the whole point of us trying to spend some family time together during the holidays.
“At least for me, if we’re gonna be in the media, you know, I kind of need to introduce you to my mom and my mom’s side and my dad’s side. And so, I think that went well and so far, so good.”
Well, father and son seem to be on opposite sides here. Perhaps Marcus would have avoided the question had he known what his dad would say about the relationship just hours later.
