AceShowbiz - Larsa Pippen continues to enjoy some time alone with Marcus Jordan. Despite recently telling Andy Cohen that she and the son of Michael Jordan are "just friends," the ex-wife of Scottie Pippen was spotted holding hands with her rumored beau.
On Monday night, December 12, "The Real Housewives of Miami" star was seen enjoying an intimate dinner date with the 31-year-old basketballer at Catch Steak in New York City. During the outing, she looked happy as she held her younger man's hand.
Larsa looked stunning as usual in a figure-hugging black bodysuit with cutouts across her neck, stomach and legs. She completed her sexy look with a furry black coat and light brown hair in a sleek bun, while Marcus sported a gray hoodie, jeans and red-and-white sneakers.
The outing came after Larsa told Andy in Monday's episode of "Watch What Happens Live" that her relationship with Marcus is strictly platonic. "Larsa, your friendship [with Marcus] has generated so many questions. What does Scottie think about your friendship?" Andy asked her, to which she replied, "Um, I don't know," adding that she never talked about it with her former husband.
"Do you recognize why people are like, 'Oh my God, this is wild!'?" Andy continued. In response, the 48-year-old Bravolebrity said, "I mean, I guess, yeah…I think a lot of people think that our families were really close and intertwined and they really weren't. Like, I never really knew Marcus' mom or them. I just recently met [Marcus' parents] a few years ago."
Larsa then insisted, "Yeah, but we're friends! So it's like…," before Andy chimed in, "..with benefits?" The mother of four denied Andy's comment and stressed, "We're friends. I don't..[do that]."
Larsa and Marcus first sparked rumors that they're an item in September. Shortly after, their 17-year age gap and the bitter relationship between Larsa's ex-husband and Marcus' dad raised eyebrows among fans and even led to them being heckled while attending a Chargers game together.
Footage from the Chargers game shows a fan walking up to a visibly astonished Larsa and saying, "Hey Larsa, that's what you're doing? You're with the boy, Mike's son? You a cold motherf****r, ain't you?"
Defending herself, Larsa noted, "I just met him 3 years ago i never knew him or his family." She further explained, "I was 21 yrs old and in college when Scottie played that one year w MJ and we weren't friends with them like everyone thinks."
Earlier this month, Larsa admitted that she's not ready to label her relationship with Marcus, saying, "You have to spend time with someone, get to know them. I feel like the first month, you're just getting to know each other. The second month, it's a little more intimate. The third month, I feel like timing--just spending time with someone." She then added that she wants to introduce her boyfriend to the public "when I'm ready," as having someone else to introduce the person is "awkward."
