Few would dispute that Revelation is one of the most complex, contentious, and mysterious books in the New Testament canon. Yet its message of good versus evil and how we can make sense out of conflict and strife remains relevant today. Recent paparazzi images showing NBA Hall-of-Famer Michael Jordan with Larsa Pippen--his former teammate Scottie Pippen's wife--has stirred controversy. The public seems dismayed about this juxtaposition. Why Does Michael Jordan Disapprove of His Son’s Relationship with Larsa Pippen? Michael Jordan does not approve of Marcus dating Larsa Pippen, his former teammate's ex-wife. When approached by paparazzi while leaving a restaurant in Paris, they asked if MJ approved of this matchup - his response? A firm "No!" as he shook his head resolutely. Scottie Pippen was Michael Jordan's teammate on the 1990s Chicago Bulls, helping them win six NBA championships together. At their peak, these two stars were widely considered amongst basketball history as some of its finest teammates; however, things between the two have since soured significantly with Scottie publicly criticizing Michael in 2021's memoir Unguarded. Marcus and Larsa Jordan have begun dating again since Michael and Scottie Jordan parted ways. Larsa appears as reality star on Real Housewives of Miami franchise; her relationship with Marcus has created controversy due to their 16 year age gap. Although RHOM star Larsa claims they have the support of all family members for this romance, basketball legend Michael Jordan seems less enthusiastic. Michael's disapproval may stem from their shared history; Scottie Pippen achieved much success together while they clashed due to their different personalities and thus Scottie has made known his dislike of Michael since their retirement from NBA competition. Michael disapproves of his son's relationship with Larsa; nevertheless, he still owns a minority stake in Charlotte Hornets he purchased for nearly $300 million in 2010. Michael has attempted to sell this majority stake but has yet to find an interested party. Larsa and Marcus appear content in their relationship despite an uncertain start, as evidenced by them launching a podcast and spending holidays together. Fans will continue to keep an eye on how this drama develops over time - hopefully finding ways to overcome their differences to form strong, long-term bonds will not be an easy task, while fans watch to see how this couple's dynamic changes. The Controversial Revelation: Michael Jordan’s Disapproval of Son Dating Larsa Pippen Michael Jordan has made it very clear that he disapproves of Marcus dating Larsa Pippen. Although they've been seeing each other for some time now, Michael recently made his feelings known when approached by a paparazzo outside a restaurant in Paris and asked by them whether he approved of their relationship; when prompted to reply with no, Michael simply shook his head to demonstrate this disapproval. As a renowned basketball player and coach, Michael Jordan would likely be concerned by his son dating the ex-wife of his former teammate Scottie Pippen's ex-wife - especially given their often contentious relationship. After sixteen years of marriage they divorced in 2022 due to Pippen accusing MJ of exploiting his fame to benefit himself commercially. So when news broke of MJ disapproving of Marcus dating Larsa, many were taken aback. Larsa has been vocal about their romance; even starting up a podcast together to talk about awkward aspects (such as their 16-year age difference). Even though their age difference may be significant, the couple seem very committed and in love. From going Instagram official to their Separation Anxiety podcast episodes, the couple are open about discussing their relationship with fans - MJ even disapproved! But they remain together and appear very contented. As for why MJ doesn't approve of Larsa and their relationship, it may be because she sees her as a rival - especially given their sordid history - which could cause tension between them. Perhaps MJ senses Larsa trying to take away his son for her own career advancement, or simply finds her irritating and an inconvenience. Whatever the circumstances may be, it's evident that MJ disapproves of his son dating his former teammate's ex-wife - something which may cause some tension within their relationship. Still, both parties seem happy in themselves and appear to be doing what they wish with their lives; hopefully all will work out eventually for this couple.

Larsa Pippen Responds to Michael Jordan’s Disapproval of Her Relationship with Marcus Jordan After Larsa Pippen revealed her relationship with Marcus Jordan on The Real Housewives of Miami, her dad Michael Jordan took to social media and offered his opinions - though his comments didn't exactly garner wide support from readers. As fans are well-aware, Larsa Pippen-Larsa, son of NBA GOAT Michael Jordan (MJ), has been dating Scottie Pippen's ex-wife since late 2022. While Larsa claimed she received approval from her father (MJ), it appears MJ does not agree. On Sunday, TMZ caught up with Michael Jordan (MJ) as he left Club Le Matignon in Paris. A photographer approached MJ and asked if he approved of his son dating his former teammate's ex-wife; although initially humorously responding, eventually giving an unwavering no before shaking his head when asked again. Since their relationship first surfaced, there has been much contention and drama over it due to a 16-year age difference and both parties coming from high-profile families. They both denied allegations that they are gold diggers; moreover, the couple appeared together on an episode of Tamron Hall Show recently. Even amid all of their initial drama, it seems likely that Michael Jordan and Ashley Brooke will remain together. Their happiness may just need time to settle after such an unfavorable beginning to their relationship. However, first they will need to work through its challenging beginning and Michael Jordan's disapproval over their affair. As it turns out, however, the answer may not be so black-and-white. When approached by paparazzi outside a restaurant in Paris, MJ was asked by them whether he approved of his son dating his ex-teammate's wife. Although initially laughing off this question, eventually responding "No", but this seems out of context; perhaps MJ meant his answer as more of a statement than anything else - regardless of this ambiguous response by Paparazzi; we wish them both all the best of luck!
