The Untold Truth: 7 Shocking Facts About Scottie Pippen's Ex-Wife, Larsa Pippen, And Her New Life In 2025
The name Scottie Pippen is synonymous with NBA greatness, a six-time champion for the Chicago Bulls and a Hall of Famer whose legacy is cemented in basketball history. However, in recent years, the public's fascination has shifted to his high-profile ex-wife, Larsa Pippen, whose life post-divorce has been a whirlwind of reality television, controversial relationships, and a surprising new engagement. As of December 2025, the narrative surrounding the Pippen family is more complex and headline-grabbing than ever, especially regarding Larsa's current romantic status and the financial details of their separation.
The couple’s 21-year marriage ended in a finalized divorce in 2021, but Larsa's continued presence in the spotlight—particularly on *The Real Housewives of Miami*—keeps her intrinsically linked to the NBA legend. Her dating choices, her business ventures, and the staggering details of her divorce settlement have all contributed to her becoming a major media entity in her own right, constantly generating fresh news that overshadows the former couple's past.

Fact 1: The Divorce Settlement Was Staggering and Financial
One of the most talked-about aspects of the Scottie and Larsa split was the massive financial settlement. Their divorce was finalized in December 2021, years after their initial separation, and the details revealed a significant win for Larsa.
The settlement granted Larsa a substantial portion of Scottie’s retirement savings. Specifically, she was entitled to a 50% split of all account balances related to Scottie’s Chicago Bulls 401(k) and "savings plan trust". This financial arrangement, which covers funds accrued during his prime NBA years, highlights the financial complexities of high-net-worth divorces and ensures Larsa’s long-term financial security. Scottie Pippen's net worth in 2025 is estimated to be around $20–$25 million, making that 50% share a considerable sum.
Fact 2: Larsa Is Engaged to a New, Much Younger Basketball Player
As of December 2025, Larsa Pippen is no longer single and has moved on from her high-profile relationship with Marcus Jordan. Her current fiancé is former professional basketball player Jeff Coby.
The couple's romance began in January 2025, and they made their relationship public at "The Accountant 2" premiere in April 2025. Coby, who signed with the New York Knicks, is 19 years Larsa’s junior, which has drawn significant media attention. The relationship is moving quickly, with Coby publicly hinting at a wedding date of November 2025, and Larsa has even been seen shopping for engagement rings. This new relationship is a major, fresh update that secures Larsa's spot in the current celebrity news cycle.
Fact 3: Her Controversial Romance with Marcus Jordan Ended in 2024
Before Jeff Coby, Larsa was most famously linked to Marcus Jordan, the son of Scottie's legendary Chicago Bulls teammate, Michael Jordan. This relationship caused a massive stir due to the decades-long rivalry and complex history between Scottie and Michael Jordan.
The relationship was on-again, off-again before officially ending in 2024. The split was reportedly due to rising "tension" and differing life goals. Marcus Jordan himself hinted that Larsa's desire to have another child was a factor in their breakup. Furthermore, Larsa revealed on *The Real Housewives of Miami* that her own children, including NBA guard Scotty Pippen Jr., advised her to "get off the ride" and end the volatile relationship, which ultimately led to the final split.
Fact 4: Scottie Pippen Had a Previous Marriage to Karen McCollum
While Larsa is Scottie Pippen’s most famous ex-wife, she was not his first. Scottie was briefly married to Karen McCollum in the late 1980s.
Scottie and Karen met in 1987 and married in 1988, a year after their son, Antron Pippen, was born. However, the marriage was short-lived, ending in divorce in 1990 after only two years. Tragically, Antron Pippen, who also played basketball, passed away in 2021. Karen McCollum has largely remained out of the spotlight since their divorce, focusing on her career as a talented pianist.
Fact 5: Larsa is a Mother to an Active NBA Player
Scottie and Larsa share four children, all of whom have inherited their father's athletic genes and their mother's public profile. Their eldest son, Scotty Pippen Jr., has followed directly in his father's footsteps and is an active professional basketball player in the NBA.
Scotty Jr. has been vocal about his parents' split and his feelings regarding Larsa's relationship with Marcus Jordan, showing the children are now adults navigating their own careers while managing their family's celebrity status. Their other children, Preston, Justin, and Sophia, are also growing up in the public eye, often appearing on Larsa's social media and in episodes of *The Real Housewives of Miami*.
Fact 6: Larsa’s Dating History Includes Other High-Profile Athletes
Larsa Pippen's dating history post-Scottie extends beyond Marcus Jordan and Jeff Coby. She has been linked to a number of other high-profile figures, including other NBA players, which has kept her in the headlines and fueled much of the drama on her reality show.
Her previous boyfriends and rumored connections include basketball player Malik Beasley and even speculation regarding relationships with rapper Future and NBA star Tristan Thompson. These relationships, often scrutinized by the media for their controversial timelines or the age gaps involved, have solidified Larsa's reputation as a reality TV star whose romantic life is as dramatic as her ex-husband's career was legendary.
Fact 7: Scottie Pippen's Book Revealed His True Feelings About Larsa
Scottie Pippen’s 2021 memoir, *Unguarded*, offered a rare and candid look into his feelings about his career, his relationships, and his marriage to Larsa. The book provided context to their split, suggesting that the marriage had been over for some time before the legal proceedings finalized.
While Scottie has generally remained private about the specifics of their divorce, his public comments and the book's narrative indicate a deep sense of betrayal and frustration over the highly publicized nature of Larsa's post-divorce life. Despite the drama, the two remain committed to co-parenting their four children, often maintaining a cordial, albeit distant, relationship for the sake of the family.
