Larsa Pippen has been a main cast member of a Real Housewives franchise since its first episode ever aired, in 2011. She’s now spent close to a decade and a half building a Bravo identity separate from the marriage that first made her famous, and in early 2024 she brought that identity into a Scottish castle for a short, combustible run on The Traitors Season 2, playing the game alongside her real-life boyfriend at the time.
Her path into the Bravo universe started with a marriage most of America watched unravel in real time.
Chicago, the Younan Family, and Marrying Scottie Pippen
Larsa Younan was born July 6, 1974, in Chicago, Illinois, to an Assyrian family with roots in Lebanon and Syria; her father, Glen Younan, built a career in real estate. She met Chicago Bulls star Scottie Pippen in Chicago in 1995, several years after his first marriage had ended, and the two married on July 20, 1997.
Scottie filed for divorce in 2016 after 19 years of marriage, the couple briefly reconciled, and Larsa filed again in 2018; the divorce was finalized in 2021. They share four children: Scotty Jr., born in November 2000, who played college basketball at Vanderbilt before signing with the Los Angeles Lakers in June 2022; Preston, born in 2002, who graduated from Loyola Marymount University in May 2025 with a business degree after playing basketball only through high school; Justin, born in 2005, who played a season at Michigan before transferring to UC Berkeley in early 2025; and Sophia, the youngest and only daughter, who has built her own career modeling, acting, and dancing.
Jewelry, a Podcast, and Building Income Outside Bravo
Away from reality TV, Larsa runs a jewelry line called Larsa Marie and has been open about running an OnlyFans account, telling castmates on RHOM she was making roughly $10,000 a day from it at its peak before scaling back her output in 2023. In June 2023 she launched the podcast Separation Anxiety with then-boyfriend Marcus Jordan, using the platform to talk through their relationship in real time as it played out in public.
Fourteen Years on The Real Housewives of Miami
Larsa was an original cast member of The Real Housewives of Miami when it premiered in 2011, clashing early with Adriana De Moura and Marysol Patton. She left the show for Seasons 2 and 3 after Scottie’s career took the family back to Chicago, then returned for Season 4 in December 2021, timed almost exactly to her divorce and re-entry into public dating life. She has remained a main cast member ever since.
| Season | Year | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Season 1 | 2011 | Original cast member |
| Seasons 2-3 | 2012-2013 | Off the show; family relocated to Chicago |
| Season 4 | 2021 | Returned to main cast |
| Seasons 5-7 | 2022-2025 | Continuous main cast member |
| Season 8 | 2026 | Renewed; production reported delayed in February 2026 |
Playing The Traitors Season 2 as a Real-Life Couple
Larsa entered Season 2 of The Traitors with boyfriend Marcus Jordan, making them the first real-life couple to compete together on the American version of the show. She played as a Faithful and quickly became one of the game’s more visible personalities. When the Traitors murdered Jordan in Episode 3, partly to strip away the couple’s combined influence, Larsa pushed hard at the round table to find out who was responsible, publicly toasting to him afterward, a move castmate Janelle Pierzina criticized as strategically foolish given they were still mid-vote.
That aggressive push cost her. In Episode 4, “The Funeral,” Sandra Diaz-Twine, who had been quietly playing multiple sides, steered the group’s suspicion toward Larsa instead of the players Sandra actually wanted protected. Larsa was banished. Afterward, she was blunt about the motive she saw behind it: “She wanted me off the show not because she thought I was a traitor, but because I’m better than her, I look better than her, and I’m smarter than her.” On the criticism over toasting to Jordan, she added, “She was a hater and a lot of the girls were haters.”
The Marcus Jordan Relationship, After the Show
Larsa and Jordan’s relationship kept cycling through breakups and reconciliations after filming wrapped, splitting and reuniting around February, March, and May of 2024 before both confirmed to Entertainment Tonight in July 2024 that it was over for good. Inside the castle, she had also bonded with fellow Housewives castmates Tamra Judge and Phaedra Parks, a friendship that carried past the show itself and became one of the season’s more visible alliances.
Life Now
Larsa continued building her post-Traitors reality profile in October 2025, joining E!’s House of Villains Season 2, where she leaned fully into the persona her castmates had accused her of hiding, clashing with Kandy Muse, bonding with Teresa Giudice, and being crowned “Supervillain of the Week” after a Battle Royale challenge before finishing in 4th or 5th place. She has also continued as a main cast member on Real Housewives of Miami, which Bravo renewed for an eighth season, though reports in February 2026 pointed to a filming delay tied to behind-the-scenes casting issues. Her full Traitors Season 2 run sits alongside a growing list of other Bravo and reality names from that cast, detailed in OpenThreadNews’ Traitors Season 2 cast guide.
