Larsa Pippen’s Past Relationships
The first man Larsa married was Scottie Pippen in 1997. At the time, she was 23 years old while he was 32 and at the height of his basketball career. The union led to the birth of four children: Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin, and Sophia. Scottie also has four other children from other relationships.
In 2016, Scottie and Larsa filed for divorce but later shelved those plans. However, a year later, Larsa filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences,” and this time, they separated for good. Around the time of Larsa’s first separation from Scottie, she briefly dated rapper Future. According to Larsa, the rapper was there for her when she was at a “sad” point.
She claimed he gave her confidence when she needed it, and it just felt natural to go that way with him. Unfortunately, she was not looking for a future with Future, and when the relationship ran its course, they parted ways.
Larsa Pippen also briefly dated NBA player Tristan Thompson before his relationship with Khloé Kardashian. She once bragged about introducing him to them, after which he linked up with Khloé, not that Larsa is bitter about it.
In late 2020, Larsa entered a short but drama-filled relationship with former Utah Jazz player Malik Beasley. The relationship was scandalous from the start, as rumors circulated that they started dating while Beasley was still with his then-wife, Montana Yao. They dated for four months before ending things.

The pair were first linked romantically when they were pictured enjoying lunch together in Miami in September 2022. Shortly after, they were spotted together at the Rolling Loud music festival. However, Larsa downplayed what she and Marcus had, saying they were just friends while speaking to PEOPLE in October 2022.
“We’re friends,” she said. “We’ve been friends for a few years, and that’s really what it is. We’re friends.” In December 2022, Marcus joined Larsa at the Real Housewives of Miami Season 5 premiere party, and the following month, they were spotted kissing. Around the same time, a source confirmed that the couple were”dating and happy.”
