Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan aren’t fazed by the outside noise about their relationship.

During a recent appearance on the “Pablo Torre Finds Out” show, Larsa, who was married to NBA champ Scottie Pippen for 24 years, and Marcus — the youngest son of Michael Jordan, Pippen’s longtime Bulls teammate — explained why their unexpected romance works.

“It’s awkward,” Larsa, 49, said.

“It’s weird. I get it. But to us, it’s not weird.”

“It’s probably weird to the world because our last names are known to basketball history.”

Jordan and Pippen won six championships together in Chicago and are considered arguably the greatest NBA duo, but their relationship has seemingly soured in recent years.

The Real Housewives of Miami star said she’s heard the negative chatter about her relationship with Marcus.

“Aesthetically it probably doesn’t look good,” she said.

“Just to hear of it, it doesn’t resonate well with people.

“ … There were so many pros and the cons were our last names and that’s literally what it was. I’m not concerned with my ex or Marcus’ dad. We’re both adults.”

Larsa politely declined to discuss whether she’s “been around Michael” during her relationship with his 32-year-old son.

“I feel like I don’t really wanna talk about Marcus, Michael or my ex,” she said.

“I feel like we are really comfortable talking about us. I feel like our families just want us to be happy … No one’s really affected by our relationship to be honest with you.”

That’s when Marcus explained that his dad isn’t one to pry in his dating life and revealed the blunt four-word message he gave him.

“The main thing from my dad was he said ‘you’re a grown man,’” Marcus recalled.

“Ultimately as long as I’m happy, he’s happy. He’s never intervened in my dating life prior to Larsa, and he’s not going to start now.”

In response to those who still doubt their relationship is real, Marcus simply said, “F*** ’em’” with a smile.

“That’s kind of my mentality — f*** ’em all. I just feel like we complement each other in so many different ways,” he continued.

“ … I just feel like we’re living in our truth and anybody that isn’t happy about it can p*ss off.”

Larsa and Marcus stirred speculation they were engaged when she stepped out with a silver diamond ring on that finger in August.

The couple clarified that it was a “promise ring” during a previous episode of their “Separation Anxiety” podcast.

Marcus also teased that the promise ring “might end up” on this season of “RHOM,” which premieres Wednesday, Nov. 1.

Pippen and Jordan were first linked in September 2022.

They went public with their relationship in January.

It came two years after Larsa finalised her divorce from Pippen in December 2021.

The exes married in 1997 and share four children: sons Scotty Jr., 22, Preston, 21, and Justin, 18, and 14-year-old daughter Sophia.
