Larsa Pippen has denied rumours that she is dating former basketball player turned rapper LiAngelo Ball, responding directly after speculation spread rapidly across social media.
The 51-year-old reality television personality addressed the claims on Friday after an Instagram page shared an edited image of her alongside LiAngelo Ball, 27.

The post quickly went viral, leading many fans to assume the pair were romantically involved. Pippen moved swiftly to put an end to the chatter, commenting, “Stop w the fake news.”
The firm denial came despite Pippen‘s long-standing reputation for dating younger men connected to professional basketball.
In recent years, she has been publicly linked to players including Malik Beasley and Marcus Jordan, the son of Michael Jordan.
Social media activity tells a different story
While the Ball rumours were quickly dismissed, Pippen‘s own posts suggest she may be involved with someone else entirely. Over the New Year period, she shared several photos and videos featuring Jeff Coby.
Just days ago, Coby posted a picture of himself with Pippen on Instagram, captioning it “365+” alongside a white heart emoji. Pippen responded publicly in the comments, writing, “Love u so much.”
A few days earlier, she had shared a video with Coby from an event she labelled “Pippen’s Holiday Soiree 2025,” further fuelling speculation about their relationship.
Pippen, who shares four children with her ex-husband Scottie Pippen, has frequently found herself in headlines for her dating life. Her relationship with Marcus Jordan, 34, first became public in September 2022 and attracted significant attention before eventually ending.
Jordan, a former UCF Knights player, made headlines earlier this year after being arrested in Florida on a cocaine possession charge following a crash involving his Lamborghini on railway tracks during an attempted traffic stop.
Pippen was also previously linked to Beasley, with the pair spotted holding hands in November 2020 before separating in April 2021.
As for Ball, he is best known as the brother of Lonzo Ball and LaMelo Ball. He stepped away from professional basketball in August last year and has since pursued a music career, finding viral success with his track “Tweaker.”
