“The Real Housewives of Miami“ star Larsa Pippen began dating professional basketball player Jeff Coby in the early months of 2025. Now, more than a year later, the two have reportedly called it quits. This comes mere weeks after it was reported that Bravo had put “RHOM” on pause.
Prior to dating Coby, Pippen had been romantically involved with Marcus Jordan, the son of Michael Jordan, from September 2022 until July 2024.

TMZ reports that the two met at a party in January 2025 and began dating shortly after.

Coby said to the reporter, “We’re getting married 2025-6. We’re getting married. It’s gonna be a beautiful marriage. November 2025.” Pippen’s reaction made it clear that Coby was joking, but he continued, “I can’t tell you when I’m gonna propose.”

‘RHOM’ Fans Have Theories About The Breakup
Fans of “The Real Housewives of Miami” have a love/hate relationship with Pippen. Because of this, some feel bad for her that she’s going through another breakup. However, other viewers have a different take, with some claiming she needs time to be single.
One person said on X, “Either she needs to stop dating younger, or she needs to not expect so much from a person who’s younger than her and doesn’t want the same thing she wants.”
A different fan wrote, “Larsa moves way too fast. It seems she wants to marry everyone she dates.” After that, someone else noted, “How many contract relationships is she going to get in?”
However, someone else had a theory about Coby, writing, “Aka he thought he was gonna have a moment on a reality TV show….lord knows he’s never had a moment on the court.”
Lastly, someone else reacted to the breakup by saying, “And water is wet.”
Jeff Coby Defended His Relationship With Larsa Pippen In Early 2026
Rumors began circulating in January 2026 that Pippen had entered into a relationship with basketball player LiAngelo Ball. However, she shut down the rumblings on social media, calling them “fake news.” Later, TMZ interviewed Coby, and he also doubled down on their relationship.
He told the outlet, “Me and Larsa have a very secure relationship, and one thing about it is the communication and making sure we communicate at a very high and effective level.”
Coby continued, “We have to deal with a bunch of people trying to use other people’s names for clicks and photoshopping stuff — honestly, it’s wack! That part is wack! Get a grip!”
The basketball player then chalked the rumors up to them having “haters.” According to him, “When people see that we’re in a happy, fulfilling relationship, it’s only a matter of time until the haters try and stir the pot.”
He also shared several positive comments about the “RHOM” star during the interview.
Larsa Has Reacted To ‘RHOM’ Being Paused
Variety reported in mid-March 2026 that Bravo had decided to pause “The Real Housewives of Miami” following its seventh season. Per the report, this came due to low viewership as it was the least watched of all the “Housewives” series.
Several weeks later, in April, Pippen reacted during a “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast appearance. She said, “I thought we had a really good season last year. I felt like there was so much going on in our lives. We had a great season. We were getting reviews that everything was great on our show. And then I don’t know what happened. I’m not sure, to be honest with you.”
Despite “RHOM” being paused, it’s still available to stream on Peacock.
