NBA icon Michael Jordan, alongside his wife Yvette Prieto, continues to soak up the sun in Italy, with the 60-year-old spotted enjoying a cigar on a boat off the coast of Capri. Despite maintaining a relatively low profile, the couple was recently seen with their twin daughters during a visit to Sicily. However, their leisurely European vacation has been overshadowed by controversy stemming from Jordan’s disapproval of his son Marcus dating Larsa Pippen, the ex-wife of NBA star Scottie Pippen.

The rift between Jordan and Pippen escalated when Jordan publicly expressed his disapproval of Larsa’s relationship with Marcus during a recent encounter in Paris. Larsa, in response, shared her discomfort with Jordan’s remarks, expressing her surprise that Marcus found humor in the situation. Marcus, on the other hand, attributed Jordan’s comments to their competitive family dynamic and jovially suggested that his father’s playful banter might have been fueled by tequila during their Paris outing.

Despite the awkwardness caused by the public feud between Jordan and Pippen, Larsa emphasized that neither she nor Marcus had instigated the animosity between the two basketball legends. While acknowledging the discomfort the situation may cause their ex-partners, Larsa conceded that she couldn’t fault Jordan for his personal sentiments, expressing her hope for understanding amid the ongoing drama.
