In a recent encounter outside a Parisian restaurant, Michael Jordan vehemently denied approving of his son Marcus's relationship with Larsa Pippen, ex-wife of his former Chicago Bulls teammate, Scottie Pippen. When questioned by paparazzi about his feelings on the matter, Jordan responded with a resounding "No!" and a firm shake of his head, according to TMZ Sports. This public declaration contradicts Larsa Pippen's statements from a few months prior on the Tamron Hall Show, where she claimed to have the support of both families and emphasized their happiness. Pippen had officially confirmed the relationship in January via an Instagram post featuring the couple in front of a floral arrangement in the shape of Michael Jordan's jersey. This situation adds another layer of complexity to the already strained relationship between Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, which has been fraught with tension following Pippen's public criticism of Jordan's portrayal in "The Last Dance" documentary and his subsequent memoir, "UNGUARDED."
