Larsa Pippen confirmed she and Marcus Jordan have broken up for good — because he is not her “guy.”
“I am single, ready to mingle,” the “Real Housewives of Miami” star said in Tuesday’s episode of the “Amy & T.J.” podcast before clarifying that she is not ready to date right now but will be “soon.”
Pippen, 49, also denied that the reason for her split from Jordan, 33, had anything to do with their 16-year age gap.
“I just think we’re on a different journey, you know?” she said. “I feel like I have to be true to who I am, what I’m doing and what he’s doing, you know? I want him to be happy. He’s a great guy, but I just don’t feel like it’s for me.”

Pippen said she was off on her own shooting a show for two weeks when she found “clarity” about her feelings for Jordan, whose father is NBA legend Michael Jordan.
“I think when you’re alone, you kind of either miss the person or realize maybe you’re not my guy, and I feel like that made me realize that I don’t think he’s my guy,” she explained.
The reality TV star, who has four children with her ex-husband, Scottie Pippen, shared that she and Marcus are in very different places in their lives at the moment.
“My number one priority is my kids, my businesses, my show and being with someone I can grow with,” she said. “If I’m not growing with you, we kind of have to be at the same place in order to grow together. So, that’s kind of what I want.”
While Larsa insisted she is feeling “good” after the breakup, she admitted splitting up in general is difficult.
“It’s hard to break up because you’re so used to living with the person. We had our podcast together, we worked together, I had him on ‘Housewives,’ and that was hard because we were used to being together all the time,” she noted. “And when I went and shot this other show, I just realized that, Larsa, you’re OK, you’re fine.”

As for their current standing, Larsa said that she and Marcus remain on good terms.
“We’re friends. We were friends for three years before we started dating. I feel like we’re going to be friends eventually,” she said. “Right now, I feel like, you know, we’re cool.”
The exes first sparked dating rumors in September 2022 and went Instagram-official in January 2023.
They pressed pause on their relationship this February before rekindling their love just days later.
Sources then confirmed to Page Six last week that Larsa and Marcus had called it quits again.
“Larsa really just wants to focus on herself. The relationship felt all-consuming,” one insider told us, noting that Larsa’s friends and “RHOM” castmates are “excited to have more fun” with her now that she is single.
