Larsa Pippen Trashes 'Immature' NBA Coach With 'Issues' Whom She Dated Before Meeting Her New Boyfriend

Larsa Pippen has opened up about her former relationship with an NBA coach, revealing the experience was marred by his "immature" behavior.

The reality TV star is now dating a 31-year-old named Jeff Coby after ending her tension-filled relationship with NBA legend Michael Jordan's son, Marcus Jordan.

Larsa Pippen has reportedly been discussing engagement rings with her new beau, with sources claiming the couple is "on a good path."

Pippen dished about a former relationship with an unnamed NBA coach during a recent installment of Angela Lee's "Lip Service" podcast.

The "Real Housewives of Miami" star revealed that the relationship was seemingly ruined because the mystery man was "so immature" at the age of 47.

"I dated a guy that was 47 years old before I dated [boyfriend] Jeff [Coby], and he was so immature," Pippen said of her former relationship with the basketball coach, per the New York Post.

"When I broke up with him, I said to him, 'There's a reason I dated you,' and he was like,' Why?' And I was like, 'Just to prove that age is nothing but a number, I'll never date anyone like you again,'" she added.

Pippen then went further to explain how the suitor was scared of commitment and would lovebomb her with lavish gifts when she told him to stop calling.

"At 47 years old, if you don't know what you want, you've got issues," Pippen noted on the podcast before adding that their relationship "would have been great" given their passion for basketball.

"It just was not what I thought it was going to be," she added.

Pippen's passion for basketball appears to have influenced her past relationship choices, particularly after her marriage to NBA legend Scottie Pippen.

The 51-year-old star has been dating former basketball player Jeff Coby since the spring, following her previous romance with Marcus, the son of Michael Jordan.

Pippen and Marcus went Instagram official in January 2023 and even appeared on her reality show together.

They eventually called it quits in February, with a source telling Page Six at the time that there was "tension" in the relationship. The mother of four then confirmed her relationship with Coby in April after they were seen kissing.

Earlier this month, Pippen couldn't hold back her pride on having Coby as her man, as she pushed about his qualities, especially because he's "family-oriented" and "just so kind."

"The other day, I FaceTimed him when he was at his parents' house and he was teaching his niece how to multiply, and I thought, 'That is so sweet,'" she told People Magazine. "That's why this is my guy, because he's just so family-oriented and just so kind, and I just feel like he's my guy. He just has all the qualities that I really love."

Pippen explained that when they first met, she wanted to keep their relationship a secret, especially because she had just gone through a public split from Marcus. However, her tone has since changed after falling deeply in love.

"I didn't want to share it with the world, but now I'm in a place where we get along really well, we basically do everything together, and so now we're more open," she explained. "But I think the first few months, I feel like we were together every day and just did very normal things, and nobody even knew that we were together."

Elsewhere in her chat with People Magazine, Pippen suggested that she sees a future with Coby as they have been discussing getting engaged and have paid attention down to even the dream engagement ring.

"I feel like we're on a really good path right now," she said. "We get along with everything. He's been asking me what shaped stones I like, so I've been giving him little hints."

"We haven't really talked about the size, but we just talked about [how] I like the brilliant cut or an oval," she added. "I feel like those are really cute."

According to the news outlet, Pippen noted that one thing that has seemingly deepened her love for Coby is his fond relationship with her four children, whom she shares with Scott.

"They have the best relationship," she said. "They play board games. They love to hang out. They talk basketball."

"We talk to my son, Scotty [Jr.], after every game, and we go through what happened during the game," she said of her 24-year-old son, who plays for the Memphis Grizzlies. "I feel like [Coby's] very normal, and him around my family is just an easy place for us."
