Early Life
Larsa Pippen was born Larsa Younan on July 6, 1974, in Chicago, Illinois. She attended a local high school in Chicago, where she was an average student. Pippen graduated from the University of Chicago with a degree in Political Science.
Career
The model and ex-wife of a former NBA star, Scottie Pippen, Larsa earned a spot on the Bravo reality series "The Real Housewives of Miami," which debuted on February 22, 2011. She did not return for season two. A snarky beauty, Larsa boasts that she is successful at everything she does, including playing the 24/7 role of a wife and mother of four. As she says, when she is not busy turning her three little boys into star athletes or shopping for her princess, Larsa is spending a little time on herself. Following her positive experience on "The Real Housewives of Miami," it was announced that she and Scottie would star in their own reality series on WE tv titled "Big Pippen," slated for a 2013 debut. The woman once known as "Hottest NBA Wife" also made several appearances on "Kourtney and Kim Take Miami" as Kim Kardashian's close friend. Pippen maintains a blog, "Life with Larsa," and is a brand ambassador for "Haute Living" magazine. She also runs the Pippen Foundation, which raises money for various children's charities.
Personal Life
Larsa and Scottie Pippen tied the knot in Chicago (sans prenup) on July 20, 1997, when Larsa was just 23 years old. She was thrust into the limelight immediately for being married to the NBA superstar. The couple has four children together: Scottie Pippen Jr., Preston Pippen, Justin Pippen, and Sophia Pippen. At least one of their kids got the basketball gene: Their oldest son, Scottie Jr., was a point guard for Vanderbilt University and was on the 2020 All-SEC freshman team. He plays for the NBA team the Memphis Grizzlies.
Larsa and Scottie announced their separation in 2016. Scottie Pippen decided to file for divorce from Larsa, which came shortly after cops were called to their home for the second time in the span of two days. The cops had been called to the couple's home in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, because of an alleged domestic disturbance.
The pair finally finalized their divorce in 2018 amid rumors that Larsa had cheated on Scottie with rapper Future, a rumor which she denies. Larsa made headlines in December 2020 when she was spotted with then-married NBA star Malik Beasley. She was photographed holding hands with the 24-year-old NBA player in Miami, and the photos quickly surfaced after. Beasley's wife, Montana Yao, slammed him on social media and then filed for divorce.
In an awkward twist, in late 2022, Larsa began dating Marcus Jordan. In addition to being 17 years younger than Larsa, Marcus is also the son of Scottie's former Bulls teammate Michael Jordan.
Real Estate
In 2004, Larsa and Scottie paid $2.225 million for a 10,000-square-foot lakefront home in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park. They listed the home in 2016 for $3.1 million. Even after lowering the price to $1.899 million in 2019, they could not find a buyer.
In 2000, they paid $1.3 million for a property in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In 2004, they custom-built a 9,700-square- foot, 6-bedroom mansion on the lot. In 2010, they listed the home for $16 million. A decade later, they had still not found a buyer, even after lowering the asking price to just under $10 million. As of this writing, the property is still listed for sale for $12 million.
In March 2022, Larsa paid $3.375 million for a penthouse apartment in Miami. She listed this unit for sale in January 2024 for $4.2 million.
