Larsa Pippen dating Michael Jordan’s son

Larsa Pippen is dating Marcus Jordan, as new photos show the “Real Housewives of Miami” star kissing the 32-year-old son of hoops legend Michael Jordan in Miami Beach. Pippen, 48, is the ex-wife of Jordan’s Chicago Bulls teammate Scottie Pippen; they married in 1997, when the team was on its second three-peat of NBA championships, and divorced in 2021. They have four children together. ET reports Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan have been spotted together several times over the past four months, with a source saying they were “casually hanging out” — but the PDA suggests their romance is heating up. Pippen said on “Watch What Happens Live” last month that she only really met Marcus in recent years, calling them “friends” (even as Andy Cohen tried to add “with benefits”). It’s not the only basketball-connected relationship in the Jordan family: Michael’s daughter Jasmine is married to former Syracuse basketball star Rakeem Christmas.

‘Diamond & Silk’ star dies

Lynette Hardaway, best known as conservative personality “Diamond,” is dead at age 51. The Hill reports her family announced Hardaway, who gained national attention with her sister Rochelle “Silk” Richardson as the Trump-supporting duo “Diamond and Silk,” died in North Carolina but did not provide a cause of death or any other details. “Really bad news for Republicans and frankly, ALL Americans,” former President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Silk was with her all the way, and at her passing. There was no better TEAM anywhere, or at any time! Diamond’s death was totally unexpected, probably her big and precious HEART just plain gave out. Rest In Peace our Magnificent Diamond, you will be greatly missed!” Diamond and Silk rose to fame as Democrats who switched to the Republican Party before Trump’s 2016 election win and appeared on Fox News’ streaming service, Fox Nation.
