Larsa Pippen is enjoying vibrant days under the sun while her ex, Marcus Jordan, is caught in a controversy. Larsa, 50, recently showcased her stunning bikini physique on Instagram, mere days before 34-year-old Marcus was arrested on significant drug-related charges in Florida.
Having dated Michael Jordan’s son for two years before parting ways in mid-2024, Pippen ignited social media with a striking photo. Wearing a black bikini that accentuated her firm abs, she held a smoothie in one hand, flaunting her beautifully styled hair and flawless makeup.
As she indulged in compliments while sipping her smoothie, Marcus’s situation deteriorated. He was arrested late Monday in Orange County, Florida, facing charges including DUI and cocaine possession along with resisting arrest.
Sunshine vs. Legal Troubles
Reports from TMZ indicate he was booked into jail with a bond of $4,000, but it remains uncertain if he has been bailed out. This isn’t the first time Marcus has been under fire; last year he was caught on camera seemingly inhaling a white substance while on vacation in the South of France.
Their relationship often made headlines due to their significant age difference of 17 years and the complex connections between their families.
Larsa, formerly married to NBA star Scottie Pippen, dated the son of Michael Jordan, who is both a former teammate and rival of her ex-husband. Although their relationship appeared strong, it apparently crumbled due to Marcus’s erratic behavior.
Their Breakup Last Summer
Larsa discussed their split in an interview from March 2024, sharing that she realized Marcus wasn’t “the right one” for her after some time apart. This revelation comes shortly after Michael Jordan publicly condemned their relationship.
The circumstances surrounding their breakup add another chapter to the ongoing tension between Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan, which intensified post the release of the documentary The Last Dance. While Larsa embraces life moving forward, Marcus is likely to face significant challenges ahead.
