Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan packed on the PDA when they were spotted together over the weekend.
The "Real Housewives of Miami" star and Michael Jordan's son couldn't keep their hands off each other in Miami Beach Saturday morning.
In photos exclusively obtained by Page Six, Pippen, 48, and Marcus, 32, were captured cuddling and kissing outside the W Hotel South Beach.
The snaps showed Marcus with his arm wrapped around Pippen's shoulder as they embraced in a kiss before leaving the beachfront venue.
She donned a Jean Paul Gaultier bodysuit, leather shorts and black Chanel slides. Her younger beau sported a black button-down with matching shorts.
Their public display of affection came weeks after the Bravo star set the record straight on her relationship with Marcus, saying they were just pals and have been like that for years.
"We are friends," Larsa said of Marcus in an interview with Page Six last month. "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. So, yeah, I'm just dating right now and focusing on my businesses, my family, and having fun."
She added, "People want to label your relationship when they don't know what it is. But I don't really care what other people think."
Pippen and Marcus first sparked dating rumors when they were seen "very cuddled up" at an intimate dinner at Catch Steak in New York City in September 2022.
At the time, an unnamed insider told Us Weekly that Scottie Pippen's ex-wife was dating the youngest son of his former Chicago Bulls teammate.
"Marcus and Larsa are dating and have been spending more time together in recent weeks," the source told the outlet. "They are trying to keep it on the down low because of the rift between Scottie and Michael."
The source claimed that they were "definitely an item" and that Larsa was "really into him." The tipster claimed the reality star hugged and kissed Marcus, adding that "she was practically sitting on his lap by the end of the dinner."
Later that month, Marcus and Larsa were seen packing on the PDA again when they attended the Rolling Loud music festival in the Big Apple.
In a video obtained by TMZ, they were captured dancing, snuggling and getting handsy. She was seen grinding and slow dancing with Marcus. She also nuzzled his neck and appeared to kiss him.
However, an onlooker claimed at the time that Marcus seemed "uncomfortable" with what she was doing.
"She was rubbing up on him and caressing his body in the Loud Club," the onlooker, who was not named, told Page Six. "Marcus looked uncomfortable and wasn't reciprocating. It appeared she was way more into him."
Larsa and Scottie finalized their divorce in December 2021 — more than three years after they initially announced their split. She shares Scotty Jr., 21, Preston, 20, Justin, 17, and Sophia, 13, with her ex-husband. The exes share 50-50 custody of their younger kids and have an amicable relationship.
