It's official! Larsa Pippen, 48, and Marcus Jordan, 32, CONFIRM romance as they share a passionate kiss during stroll in Miami - one month after beauty insisted pair were 'just friends'

Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan finally confirmed their romance on Friday as they shared a passionate kiss in Miami - one month after insisting they were 'just friends.' 

Mother of four Larsa, 48, who was seen holding hands with Marcus, 32, last month, looked completely smitten as she locked lips with the hunk during a romantic stroll.

Larsa showed off her toned frame and enviable legs in leather shorts and a bejeweled Jean Paul Gaultier swimsuit as she held Jordan's arm.

Her tresses were pulled back into a chic ponytail and she sported a chic pair of shades.

Marcus, the son of NBA legend Michael Jordan, wore black Off-White shorts and a crisp shirt, paired with a baseball cap .

The new couple looked happier than ever as they strolled down the street arm-in-arm. 

This comes after Larsa who recently celebrated the New Year with a bikini snap, explained to Page Six last month in December that she and Jordan were just 'friends,' despite being spotted together on multiple occasions. 

Marcus is the second oldest child of retired Hall of Fame basketball star, Michael Jordan. 

Larsa and Marcus were first spotted together last year in September 2022, and rumors have circulated since then that the two had reportedly sparked up a romance. 

However, despite the numerous times they have been seen together, the Real Housewives star decided to set the record straight when talking to Page Six last month in December. 

'We are friends,' she stated. 'We’ve been friends for the last couple of years and I’m in a place right now where I’m finally open to dating. Every time I’m seen out with someone, people make it out to be more than it actually is, and it’s normally nothing.'

The Larsa Marie jewelry founder further expressed, 'So, yeah, I’m just dating right now and focusing on my businesses, my family, and having fun. People want to label your relationship when they don’t know what it is. But I don’t really care what other people think.' 

Although she stated that both she and Marcus were only 'friends,' the pair were seen celebrating New Year's Eve together in Miami at Papi Steak. 

Larsa was previously married to former NBA star, Scottie Pippen, from 1997 until their divorce in 2021. They share four children together, Scotty Jr., 22, Preston, 21, Justin, 18, and Sophia, 14.
