On August 29th Beijing time, reports emerged from U.S. media that Dennis Rodman's 29-year-old son, Dennis Jr., and Pippen's 51-year-old ex-wife, Larsa, had a date in Los Angeles. The pair was spotted eating and strolling together through the city, instantly drawing social media buzz. Supporters are now wondering about the nature of their connection and the potential implications for their private lives and NBA family dynamics.
Larsa divorced NBA Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen in 2018 and has since mostly kept her life private. Dennis Jr. is the son of Rodman and Trinity. His parents separated when he was still an infant, and since then, his relationship with his father has been strained. According to Trinity, it has been difficult for father and son to maintain a close bond after the divorce.
Notably, Larsa previously had a romantic relationship with Michael Jordan's son Marcus, which even reached discussions of marriage, but the couple has since parted ways.
Netizens found this situation amusing; one commented, "Damn, he's going after everyone from the '96 Bulls," while others were more critical, questioning whether the pair were a good match.
“What did he do to her... This must be the most brutal revenge I've ever seen. Imagine your ex-wife not dating your teammate, but their son,” one user remarked.
Another user added, “An unconventional triangle tactic.”
This unexpected pairing has sparked various speculations among fans. Some wonder if this marks a new romance or just a casual outing. Given their NBA family connections, their relationship adds an intriguing layer to this story.
