Larsa Marie Pippen (née Younan; born July 6, 1974)[1][2]is an Assyrian-American reality television personality, socialite, and businesswoman. She is an original cast member on Bravo's reality series The Real Housewives of Miami, appearing since its premiere in 2011, and rejoining in 2021.[3] She is the ex-wife of former NBA player Scottie Pippen.[4]

Career

Television

In February 2011, The Real Housewives of Miami debuted its first season, featuring Pippen alongside Lea Black, Adriana de Moura, Alexia Nepola, Marysol Patton and Cristy Rice as they balanced their personal and professional lives, following a "work hard, play hard" lifestyle, while living in Miami, Florida. Pippen departed the first season after only 7 episodes, reportedly due to her being "too level-headed" for the Miami housewives cast.[5] The show ended after its third season due to the declining ratings leading up to the reunion.[6] After Bravo re-ran the first 3 seasons of the show in 2020, rumours circulated in November 2020 of a potential fourth season. In 2021, a fourth season was confirmed by Bravo in February, with a cast announcement made by streaming service Peacock in October, featuring Pippen alongside Lisa Hochstein and Nepola, with newcomers Guerdy Abraira, Julia Lemigova and Nicole Martin; joined by de Moura, Patton and new friend Kiki Barth.[3][7] Pippen returned for the show's fifth season, which premiered in December 2022, and the show's sixth season, which premiered in November 2023 on Bravo.

In addition to Pippen's housewives return, she has made frequent appearances on Keeping Up with the Kardashians over the years, notably due to her friendship with Kim Kardashian and the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner family. She appeared on the second season's fifth episode of Selling Sunset where Chrishell Stause gave her a house tour.[8] She was also present alongside her then-husband, Scottie Pippen, as they supported their daughter Sophia on Dancing with the Stars: Juniors.[9] Pippen has made guest appearances on talk shows, including The Nick Cannon TV Series, The Wendy Williams Show, Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and Tamron Hall.[10][11][12]

In September 2023, it was announced that Pippen would be a contestant on Peacock's second season of The Traitors. The season was released in January 2024.[13]

Jewelry

In August 2020, Pippen launched and modeled her high-end jewelry line, Larsa Marie. She detailed that the line offers a wide variety of pieces that focus on "self-love and empowering women to feel like their best selves".[14] In 2021, Pippen scored the cover of Harper's Bazaar Vietnam's August issue, as she debuted her latest collection, discussed her personal life in the public eye and provided fashion advice.[15]

Personal life

Pippen's grandparents were from Morocco.[16] Her parents are ethnic Assyrians; her father from Syria, and her mother from Lebanon. She speaks Syriac-Aramaic, Arabic, and Spanish. She is a mother to Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin and Sophia, all of whom she shares with her ex-husband Scottie Pippen.[17] Scottie and Larsa first split in 2016 after almost two decades of marriage but reconciled. They began their separation process again in 2018. Their divorce was finalized on December 15, 2021, with all issues resolved amicably, and both continuing to focus on "co-parenting their remaining minor children".[18]

Since 2022, she has been in a relationship with Marcus Jordan.[19]
