Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan are setting the record straight on their relationship status after sparking engagement rumors.
The “Real Housewives of Miami” star revealed during Tuesday’s episode of their “Separation Anxiety” podcast that her boyfriend actually gifted her a promise ring.
“We’re not engaged,” Pippen, 49, said. “But you did give me a promise ring.”
“I definitely gave you a promise ring,” Jordan, 32, replied, adding that marriage has been a topic of discussion for the couple but not a “priority.”
“The only thing we’ve come up with is that we want a destination wedding,” the reality TV star added.
The explanation comes after Pippen was first spotted with a diamond band on her left ring finger while leaving a West Hollywood restaurant with her beau last week.
Addressing the recent headlines, Jordan said, “Paparazzi got us leaving the restaurant and asked us if there were wedding plans in the works, and so, I think I responded in a cheeky way.”
He admitted he told photographers a wedding was “in the works” and they were “looking for a location” for the ceremony.
However, his comments and the photos of Pippen with the ring quickly went viral and caught the attention of their family and friends.
“I had a hundred calls and text messages of people congratulating us,” she said.
Marcus revealed he also heard from his parents — with his NBA legend father, Michael Jordan, sending him multiple messages and his mom, Juanita Vanoy, texting “a bunch of eye emojis.”
While he didn’t elaborate on what the former Chicago Bulls star said in the messages, Michael publicly shared his disapproval over the couple’s relationship in July.
When asked by paparazzi if he approves of his son’s romance with Pippen, the retired athlete gave a resounding “No!”
Afterward, Larsa admitted she was “embarrassed” by Michael’s response, but suggested his reaction likely stemmed from her ex-husband Scottie Pippen’s alleged feud with his former Chicago Bulls teammate.
“I feel like for them it probably is weird, it probably is weird for your dad. I can’t be mad. I understand,” she said during a July episode of their podcast. “[But] oh my God, I was traumatized. I was like, ‘What are we going to do?'”
Larsa and Scottie tied the knot in 1997 and share four children together: Scotty Jr., 22, Preston, 21, Justin, 18, and Sophia, 14.
The duo called it quits nearly two decades later in 2018.
Their divorce was finalized in 2021 before she moved on with Marcus a year later.
