Larsa Pippen has addressed her relationship with Marcus Jordan in a frank interview with Andy Cohen on his late night show.
The 48-year-old Real Housewives of Miami star has been seen with NBA legend Michael Jordan's son in recent weeks, with pictures showing them sharing a kiss when meeting, and together at various events.
Marcus, 31, was in the audience at Watch What Happens Live with host Andy Cohen on Monday. Cohen questioned Scottie Pippen's ex-wife about her relationship with Marcus and asked whether they were more than friends.
Scottie played with Michael Jordan at the Chicago Bulls during the '80s and '90s, but despite them looking like they were best friends during their playing careers, it has since transpired that they were not as close as the public once believed.
Even so, Larsa has claimed that she only met Marcus in the past couple of years and didn't know him when he was younger and she was married to Scottie.
Cohen didn't mince his words when asking Larsa directly about the relationship, saying the photos of them together had "generated so many questions."
Larsa and Marcus have been pictured exchanging a friendly kiss when they met at a Travis Scott gig during Miami Art Week at the beginning of December, and have been pictured together in recent days.
Cohen asked Larsa: "What does Scottie think about your friendship?"
"I don't know," she answered.
Cohen seemed surprised and asked again: "You don't know? He's never mentioned it to you, and you've never mentioned it to him?"
"No," Larsa replied.
Cohen continued to press: "The kids have never said, 'This is bugging daddy?'"
Larsa and Scottie Pippen share four children together—Scotty Jr., 22, Preston, 20, Justin, 17, and Sophia, 13.
"No," Larsa said.
Cohen then asked the RHOM TV star if she knew why her friendship with Marcus is being dubbed as "wild."
Larsa replied: "I mean, I guess, yeah. But I think a lot of people think that our families were really close and intertwined, and they really weren't."
She continued: "Like I never really knew Marcus' mom or them; I just recently met them a couple of years ago."
Cohen then asked whether their friendship came "with benefits," but Larsa seemed unimpressed by that comment and simply replied: "We're friends."
Larsa had previously spoken to People about her relationship with Marcus and was playing it coy then as well.
They were seen at BravoCon together but she insisted that there was nothing romantic going on.
She said: "We're friends. We've been friends for a few years and that's really what it is. We're friends."
