When the reports surfaced that they were dating

On Nov. 14, TMZ Sports reported that Larsa and Marcus are dating.

Larsa has previously said that she and the GOAT’s son were just friends. But after they were spotted on South Beach in Miami looking cozy, a source told the outlet that their relationship turned romantic about a month ago.

The publication previously reported that Larsa was spotted kissing Marcus’ neck at a nightclub in New York City back in September.

What Larsa and Marcus’ age difference is

Because Marcus is the son of Larsa’s ex-husband’s teammate, many have wondered what their age difference is.

Marcus is the middle child of Michael Jordan and his first wife, Juanita. He was born on Dec. 24, 1990. Marcus previously played basketball for the University of Central Florida, where he studied hospitality management. He is the founder and CEO of a retailer called The Trophy Room.

Larsa was born in Chicago to Assyrian parents on July 6, 1974, making her 16 years and five months older than Marcus. In 2011, she starred in the first season of The Real Housewives of Miami alongside fellow cast members Lea Black, Adriana de Moura, Alexia Nepola, Marysol Patton, and Cristy Rice. You may have also seen Larsa on a few episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Kourtney and Kim Take Miami.
