Larsa Pippen and Malik Beasley dated for a short period in 2020 and 2021. It was a relationship that truly came out of nowhere.

It only came about after they were photographed together in Miami while Beasley was still married to Montana Yao and Pippen was still married to Scottie.

The photos “blindsided” Beasley’s wife, Montana Yao, at the time. In the wake of the scandal, Yao filed for divorce, but they made their way through the turbulent times to work it out. They would later welcome their second child in November 2022.

As for Larsa Pippen, she is speaking out once again about her past relationship.

It all began with Larsa Pippen’s statement during a podcast appearance. In a new interview, she admitted that hooking up with the NBA player was a mistake.

The ‘Real Housewives’ star revisited the drama in a new episode of “The Jason Lee Show” and said, “That was a mistake,” Pippen said on Wednesday. “I had Covid brain.”

“I just had COVID. I was stuck in my house, I hadn’t gone anywhere. He was there. He was like, on me,” she said of Malik Beasley.

Lee would dive into the time Beasley and Pippen’s son, Scotty Jr., were on the Los Angeles Lakers together in 2023. Pippen made it clear that it wasn’t as bad as people thought.

“They had a conversation when they were on the same team, and it was fine,” Pippen said. “It wasn’t like we had a really bad breakup.”

Pippen is currently dating former pro basketball player Jeff Coby.
