"We literally just met at a party four years ago, and we were just friends."

The "Real Housewives of Miami" star was famously married to Scottie Pippen from 1997 to December 2021, but rumors of her dating Marcus Jordan began to heat up in the fall. She has faced criticism over the relationship because of Michael Jordan’s falling out with Pippen which was highlighted following the release of Jordan’s 2020 documentary "The Last Dance." 

"I can’t basically explain how someone else feels," Pippen said of her ex-husband. "That’s how Scottie feels, he has a right to the way he feels. I personally don’t care about what other people – I feel like I live my truth, I’m happy. I feel like we get along, he’s my best friend."
