During the July 10 episode of their “Separation Anxiety” podcast, Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan discussed Michael Jordan’s denial that he had given the couple his blessing. After Marcus admitted to finding the TMZ video humorous, Larsa said, “There’s nothing funny about it.” She pointed out that she’d already publicly stated that MJ approved of her and this is what made that single-word repudiation so humiliating. “I was like traumatized,” she said. “I’m like, ‘Oh, my God. What are we going to do?’ People think I lied.”
Marcus, however, wasn’t as concerned about the situation and defended his dad by saying that he was just joking around and was possibly a bit tipsy. “I think if you don’t know who my dad is at his core, then it could be taken the wrong way,” Marcus said. He also speculated that Michael didn’t want to feed into the narrative of his long-standing feud with Scottie Pippen. If he had said that he approved of his son dating Scottie’s ex-wife, that could have sparked speculation that he was trying to antagonize his rival.

While Larsa did admit that her and Marcus’ families previously had some reservations about their relationship, Marcus said that his dad reached out to him to assure him that he wasn’t trying to stir up any trouble. And now everything has been all smoothed over. “I feel like I’ve never been this happy with anyone,” Larsa said.
