Larsa Pippen has once again addressed the swirling rumors about her alleged romantic involvement with Brooklyn Nets star Ben Simmons while she was still married to NBA legend Scottie Pippen. On the latest episode of her podcast, Going Rogue with Larsa Pippen & Michelle Pooch, the 50-year-old reality TV star firmly denied the allegations, emphasizing that she never had any connection with Simmons.
"I’ve definitely been linked to guys that I’ve never even hung out with. I was linked to Ben Simmons, do you remember? And I never sought him out. I don’t even know them by the way."
The rumors first surfaced in 2019, suggesting that Larsa was romantically involved with Simmons while still married to Scottie Pippen. These denials have since been reiterated as the rumors continue to resurface years later.
Larsa and Scottie Pippen were married in 1997 and finalized their divorce in 2021 after several years of separation. Larsa has often spoken about the challenges she faced during and after her divorce, including losing friends and dealing with intense public scrutiny.
This period, according to Larsa, served as a “cleansing phase” that allowed her to discover who her true friends were. Despite the difficulties, both Larsa and Scottie have prioritized co-parenting their four children: Scotty Pippen Jr., Preston, Justin, and Sophia.
Larsa Pippen has often found herself at the center of media speculation about her personal life.
In 2020, Larsa made headlines when she was spotted with rapper Future, sparking rumors of a romantic connection. Although the relationship was never officially confirmed, Larsa later admitted in interviews that she had briefly dated the rapper.
Later in 2020, Larsa was photographed holding hands with NBA player Malik Beasley, who was then married to Montana Yao. The images caused a media storm, leading to Yao filing for divorce shortly after the photos went public. Larsa faced backlash online, with many accusing her of breaking up Beasley’s marriage. She was also initially discreet about her relationship with Marcus Jordan, the son of Scottie Pippen’s former teammate Michael Jordan.
The couple officially confirmed their romance in 2023, drawing significant media attention due to the historical ties between their families. Although their relationship experienced ups and downs, with a breakup, a reconciliation, and another separation, they ultimately decided to part ways for good. The couple had reportedly been planning their wedding, but those plans ultimately came to an end.
These remarks highlight the challenges of navigating public life while trying to maintain privacy and dignity. Despite the persistent rumors, Larsa continues to stand her ground, reiterating her truth and focusing on her family and personal endeavors.
While the rumors about Larsa and Ben Simmons may never completely fade, her firm denials and candid reflections suggest that she is ready to move past the narrative. For now, she remains focused on her role as a mother and public figure while continuing to address misconceptions about her personal life.
