Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan are exploring the exciting prospects of starting a family.

Larsa Pippen And Marcus Jordan Open Up About ParenthoodÂ
As renowned figures in their respective spheres, it is normal for everyone to be curious about uncovering details of their connection. In an episode of their podcast, "Separation Anxiety With Hosts Larsa Pippen & Marcus Jordan," the couple openly discussed their feelings and the amount of contemplation they have given to having a baby.
During the conversation, Jordan revealed, "I think there's [mostly] been conversations around it," noting that they had not delved into specific details regarding starting a family.
However, he acknowledged that discussions arose when meeting new people or introducing each other to friends. He confessed, "But I feel like we've never had a one-on-one, private conversation about having children."
Pippen said, "It's one of those things where I think time will tell," while also expressing her happiness and fulfillment as a mother of four, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Scottie Pippen.
At the same time, the entrepreneur recognized the disparity in their parental experiences, acknowledging that the question of having children would predominantly rest on her beau's shoulders.
Exploring the topic, the 32-year-old shed light on the unspoken dynamics that come with dating and age gaps, where considerations about having children arise naturally.
He explained further, "But for me, I've always viewed Trophy Room as my baby. I always wanted to establish my own name, outside of being Michael Jordan's son. So for me, Trophy Room gave me that opportunity as my business. So I've always nurtured it and treated it as my child."
The former college basketball player also admitted that growing his business differed from having a baby to care for. While Jordan disclosed that he was recently open thinking about kids, Pippen concurred, noting that she did not mind having one more.
The love birds also agreed there was no need to rush their decision, choosing to look forward to their coming anniversary. However, despite their evident love for each other, their relationship was still subject to intense speculation and rumors.
The duo seized the opportunity to defend their 16-year age difference, asserting that age should not define the authenticity of their love. The "bravolebrity" revealed that their relationship garnered wholehearted approval and support from their inner circle, including friends and family.
Rejecting superficial judgments, she emphasized that her bond with him surpassed age considerations. Jordan echoed his sentiment saying, "I just feel like we meet somewhere in the middle. Age is just a number, but I think maturity and life experience really dictate the relationship."
Pippen concurred, highlighting the natural harmony from their shared interests and mutual enjoyment of similar activities. She noted that it created a seamless connection, making the age difference inconsequential in their eyes.
The 'Larsa Marie' Founder Secures Half Of Scottie Pippen's Chicago Bulls Retirement In Divorce Settlement
In an update to the reality TV star's divorce from the former professional basketball player, she emerged as the proud recipient of a substantial financial settlement.
Legal documents obtained by The Blast revealed that an order from an L.A. County court specified the TV personality's entitlement to half of Scottie's retirement funds — from his illustrious career with the Chicago Bulls, including his 401(k) and "savings plan trust."
As the court officially recognized her as the 57-year-old's ex-wife, she was awarded "Fifty Percent" of all account balances from his retirement funds. This is based on the valuation closest to their official date of separation, November 3, 2016.
Essentially, Larsa will receive half of the amount accrued in the account during the period from 1997 to 2016. In a remarkable twist, the court order revealed that "The Real Housewives of Miami" star is entitled to the full amount of her ex-husband's retirement funds, regardless of the current account balance.
It was also specified that the allocated funds from his retirement would be paid to her in a "cash lump sum," and distributed to her personal account "as soon as administratively possible following the approval of this order."
