Larsa Pippen is dating a new man following the tumultuous aftermath of her relationship with ex Marcus Jordan — and he’s a basketball player, just like her ex-husband Scottie Pippen.
The 50-year-old real Housewives Of Miami star has lately been dating Jeff Coby, a 31-year-old former professional basketball star, according to TMZ Sports.
Sources told the publication that Larsa and Jeff have been an exclusive couple since the start of this year.
Although Larsa and Jeff haven’t made any public announcements about their new romance, they’re reportedly not hiding it from close friends.
According to TMZ, the lovebirds met when they both attended the 10th-anniversary party for David Alexander’s DBC Fitness gym, which was held at ZZs Club Miami in January.
It was Alexander, a celebrity trainer, who made the introductions, sources said.

Larsa and Jeff reportedly hit it off immediately, but so far they’ve been taking things slowly.
The two are said to still be living separately for the time being, even if they are spending plenty of time together and are now going out in public as a couple.
Jeff played basketball in high school, which was split between Florida and Connecticut, before he moved up to the Ivy League and played for Columbia, where he was named defensive player of the league in 2017.
He was undrafted after graduating in 2017, and he has since played for a variety of international teams and NBA development teams.
After graduating, he played for a year with CB Prat in Catalonia, Spain. In 2018, he signed with Xuventude Baloncesto of Galicia, Spain, then later that year he signed a tentative deal with the New York Knicks.
He went on to attend the training camp for the Westchester Knicks, the G League feeder for the larger NBA team.
In 2019, Jeff signed with the Austin Spurs, the G League affiliate of the San Antonio Spurs, though he signed a deal later with the Basket Racing Club Luxembourg.
Since then, he has had short stints with international teams in the Dominican Republic and Japan.

Last month, there has been a development in the DUI case of Larsa’s ex, Marcus Jordan.
The 34-year-old son of basketball legend Michael Jordan saw his cocaine possession charges altered.
During the time of his arrest on February 4 in Florida, it was believed that the white powdery substance on him was cocaine. Police did a field test on the powder which tested positive for cocaine.
But it has since been established by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement that the drug was actually ketamine, according to a report from TMZ.
The mix up reportedly happens now and then as the two drugs have the same color and texture. It is not sure how this will change his sentencing as both cocaine and ketamine are illegal drugs.
Jordan was arrested after his Lamborghini SUV got stuck on train tracks in the early morning hours, allegedly due to his impairment.
Jordan’s attorneys have since entered a not guilty plea and requested a trial by jury while waving his first court appearance, a pretrial conference scheduled for March 20, according to People.
Jordan also pleased not guilty to felony cocaine possession and resisting an officer without violence, which is a misdemeanor.
Marcus was arrested after police allegedly found his Lamborghini SUV damaged and stuck up on railroad tracks. He pleaded with police to help push it off the tracks, but they refused and gave him a sobriety test, which he failed; seen in November 2023 in LA
