Caught in broad daylight! Michael Jordan’s son, Marcus, was seen snorting a white powder substance alongside girlfriend Ashley Stevenson in France. According to photos obtained by a news outlet, the 33-year-old, who was previously dating Larsa Pippen, appeared to be concentrating as the mysterious material went up his nose while sitting at a table with some pals.
Marcus’ new romance comes after it was revealed that he and the 50-year-old reality star went their separate ways following an on-again, off-again relationship. The two first broke up in February but then decided to give their romance another whirl. At the time, a source told Page Six that the Real Housewives of Miami starlet wanted “to focus on herself” and felt their relationship was “all-consuming.”
Larsa, who used to be married to Scottie Pippen, later confirmed the two were done and explained why they split in the first place. “I am single, ready to mingle,” she said during an episode of iHeart’s “Amy & T.J.” podcast. “I just think we’re on a different journey, you know?” she continued. “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.”
Larsa also noted that their age difference was not a factor. “I don’t think it’s the age,” she stated. “I just think it’s where we are right now.”
During the podcast, Larsa shared that while shooting a show for two weeks, she found “clarity” about dating Marcus. “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.
“My number one priority is my kids, my businesses, my show, and being with someone I can grow with,” the mom-of-four continued. “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.”
Despite the breakup, it doesn’t seem like Larsa minds that Marcus is moving on, as she’s casually dating someone else: country musician Zay Wilson, a source told TMZ.
As Marcus faces scrutiny over the recent photos, Larsa continues to focus on her priorities, remaining open to new relationships and personal growth.
