Michael Jordan is finally weighing in on his son Marcus’ romance with Larsa Pippen.
While leaving dinner at Matignon in Paris on Sunday, the sports icon was asked what he thinks about the whirlwind relationship.
In a video shared by TMZ, Jordan first laughs off the question, but as the photographer pressed about whether he approves, the 60-year-old declares, “No!”
When asked again, Jordan simply shakes his head to indicate that he does not.
The NBA superstar’s 32-year-old son has made headlines for his controversial relationship with Larsa, 48, who is the ex-wife of basketball legend and MJ’s former Chicago Bulls teammate, Scottie Pippen.
Larsa previously addressed her 16-year age difference with Marcus while appearing on The Tamron Hall Show on Tuesday, Feb. 28, where she insisted that age simply is just a number.
"I've dated guys a lot older than me," she said of her exes, adding, "Scottie is 10 years older than me, so I don't really view age as you're mature or immature."
"I don't feel like [age] determines if you're mature or not," she continued. "I feel like if you can drink at 21, you can go to war at 18, there's different circumstances. Age doesn't necessarily determine your level of maturity."
As for their meet-cute, she said she bumped into Michael at a party four years ago before striking up a friendship that eventually turned into something more.
"I feel like a lot of people think that we've known each other our whole lives, which we have not," she explained.
At the time, the Real Housewives of Miami also noted that she thinks Marcus’ parents are “fine” with her dating their son, adding, "When you're an adult, I think your parents just want to see you happy."
Larsa shares three kids with Scottie—Scotty Pippen Jr., 22, Preston Pippen, 21, and Justin Pippen, 18.
