Larsa Pippen, 50, has officially stepped into a new chapter, confirming her relationship with former professional basketball player Jeff Coby, 31, during a public display of affection in Miami. The pair was seen embracing and kissing in a parking garage on April 13, just weeks after reports first linked them romantically.
The sighting follows her split from Marcus Jordan, son of NBA legend Michael Jordan, whose legal troubles have dominated headlines. In February, Marcus was arrested in Florida after allegedly driving under the influence and getting his Lamborghini SUV stuck on train tracks. Field tests initially indicated cocaine possession; however, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement later confirmed the substance was ketamine. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including resisting an officer without violence.
Coby’s entrance into Pippen’s life appears well-timed. Sources told *TMZ Sports* the pair became exclusive earlier this year after meeting at the 10th-anniversary event for David Alexander’s DBC Fitness gym. “They hit it off right away,” a source revealed, noting the introduction was made by celebrity trainer Alexander.
Pippen and Coby made their public debut in March at Marysol Patton’s 58th birthday celebration at Maple & Ash in Miami. An attendee described them as “cute” and said Larsa was “glowing” throughout the night.
Despite the age gap and public scrutiny, the duo has continued to appear unbothered. Photographs from Sunday’s rendezvous show them smiling widely, exchanging embraces, and dressed in coordinating athletic wear. Coby wore a hoodie and headphones, while Pippen sported a gray sports bra, cargo pants, and a gold belly chain.
Coby’s professional background adds further dimension to the pairing. A 6-foot-8 Haitian-American forward, he played collegiate basketball at Columbia University, where he was named the Ivy League's Defensive Player of the Year in 2017. Post-graduation, he had international stints in Spain, Luxembourg, the Dominican Republic, and Japan, and trained with NBA G League teams like the Westchester Knicks and Austin Spurs.
Pippen, previously married to NBA Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen, has remained in the public eye through *The Real Housewives of Miami*. Her recent shift in relationships—from Marcus Jordan to Jeff Coby—marks a decisive personal pivot.
As her former partner faces mounting legal challenges, Pippen appears focused on moving forward. Though neither she nor Coby has made formal statements, their actions are making their intentions clear.
