On yesterdays “Tamron Hall,” in a daytime exclusive interview, “Real Housewives of Miami” star Larsa Pippen joins the show and discusses her romantic relationship with Michael Jordan’s son, Marcus Jordan, meeting Marcus’ parents, the latest season of her hit reality television show and more. Also on today’s show, “Farmer Wants a Wife” star Ryan Black shares why he joined the show and what he’s looking for in a wife.
Larsa Pippen describes meeting and ultimately dating Marcus Jordan:
“I feel like a lot of people think that we’ve known each other our whole lives, which we have not…We literally just met at a party four years ago. And we were just friends…We have a lot of mutual friends. And so we’re kind of in the same circle. So we’ve been around each other for like the last four years. We were at a party and they were like, ‘Oh, you know, Marcus, Marcus Jordan.’ I was like, ‘Oh, hey,’ and so we became friends. We both kind of grew up from, you know, both from Chicago. So I feel like we have a lot in common, like a lot of common ground. We have everything in common.” In response to a question about their age difference she explains, “Well, I’ve dated guys that were a lot older than me. Scottie is 10 years older than me so I don’t really view age as you know, you’re mature, you’re immature. I don’t feel like that determines if you’re mature or not. I feel like if you can drink at 21, you can go to war at 18, there’s different circumstances that I feel like age doesn’t really determine your level of maturity.”
Larsa Pippen shares whether she’s met Marcus’ parents, Michael Jordan and Juanita Vanoy:
“I mean, I’ve recently been hanging out with them. But I don’t really want to talk about them. I feel like it’s not about, you know, my parents or his parents. They’re all happy, our whole family’s fine. I feel like it’s more about, like, where I am, where he is. I feel like we’re in a great place. We motivate each other. We’re really happy being together and I feel like that’s the most important thing.” She continues, “When you’re an adult, I think your parents just want to see you happy. You know, my parents want to see me happy, his parents want to see him happy. I feel like we’re great. Yeah, I feel like we’ve you know, we’ve spent holidays together and it’s good. We’re in a great place.”
Larsa Pippen addresses accusations of being “fake” based on Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Miami”:
“I feel like I’ve shown all of my life. I think they expect my kids to be on the show more. But my kids are superstars. My son, my 17-year-old son, was playing basketball in Europe. My 22-year-old son Scotty was basically traveling the world practicing for all the NBA teams and my daughter is a model. Like my kids are all busy and I don’t want them to feel like they have to be on the show. I think when they’re in Miami and they want to be on the show I’d love for them to be on the show, but I don’t necessarily put pressure on them to be on the show. It’s my thing. It’s my career, not theirs. So I feel like a lot of times people think ‘Oh, well put your kids on there or put Marcus on the show.’ I wasn’t even dating him last season. So that fake subject comes up because they think I should have my kids on the show, Marcus on the show, but I wasn’t even dating him last season.
