Larsa confirmed her relationship with Marcus on Instagram in January in front of a floral installation of his dad's famous 23 jersey. 

On Wednesday, Marcus countered the claim that his father does not approve of his relationship with Larsa in a joint interview with Entertainment Tonight where he said that Larsa had “the Michael Jordan stamp of approval.” 

"We spent Thanksgiving together last year, and my family loves her," Marcus, 32, added. "They think she's great. And ultimately, I think my family just wants to see me happy. And so as long as I'm happy, they're happy with whoever I’m dating.”

“Everybody had an opinion at first,” he continued. “I think there was some shock and interest early on, but I think that was the whole point of us trying to spend some family time together during the holidays."

"At least for me, if we're gonna be in the media, I kind of need to introduce you to my mom and my mom's side and my dad's side,” Marcus recalled telling Larsa. “And so, I think that went well and so far, so good.”

ET’s Brice Sander then asked Marcus, “We got the Michael Jordan stamp of approval on Larsa?”

“Yeah, oh yeah,” Marcus replied.

Marcus’ response comes days after a TMZ photographer asked Michael, 60, about his son’s relationship with the OnlyFans star when leaving a dinner at Paris’ Matignon on Monday.

At first, Michael simply laughed the question off, but the paparazzi then pressed further into whether he approved of the romance between the pair, who have a 16-year age gap.

“No!” Michael simply responded.
