Larsa Pippen reveals the reason behind breaking up with Marcus Jordan

The relationship between Michael Jordan's son Marcus Jordan, and Scottie Pippen's ex-wife Larsa Pippen, was a big talking point. Marcus dating his father's former teammate's wife made a sensational headline.

However, after a year of dating and announcing their engagement, Larsa and Marcus broke things off in July. On Thursday, Larsa said that her children played a big role in ending her relationship with him.

"When I was with Marcus, my kids were like, 'Stop getting back together and breaking up, and just get off the ride,'" Larsa said, via "The Real Housewives of Miami." "That's when I was like, 'I need to get away from the situation — my kids think that it’s not good for me."

She also revealed the ugly side of the break up, saying that Marcus said hurtful things about her to people close to her.

"I fought everyone to be with this guy, and then it was not a good situation for me and my family, so I had to remove myself from it," Larsa said. "But doing what’s best for me and my family ended up pissing him off so bad that he'd send me really bad messages and reach out to my friends and say hurtful things about me, and it was just bad."

Larsa is now in a relationship with former G League player Jeff Coby.
