Larsa Pippen, 51, has broken her silence over rumors that she's dating basketball-star-turned-rapper LiAngelo Ball.

The 51-year-old reality star - who previously dated Michael Jordan's son - addressed the speculation on Friday after social media reports suggested a new romance.

The rumors began to circulate after an Instagram page shared an edited photograph of Pippen alongside the 27-year-old athlete. The post quickly went viral, leading many fans to believe the pair were an item.

Addressing the gossip directly, Pippen left a firm comment on the post. She wrote: 'Stop w the fake news,' effectively ending the speculation.

The denial comes despite Pippen's well-known history of dating younger men within the professional basketball world - such as Malik Beasley and Marcus Jordan.

However, sources suggest she remains in a relationship with another former player.

Pippen has instead been dating basketball star Jeff Coby, 31, over the last year.

Recent social media activity, meanwhile, indicates that Pippen is seeing Jeff Coby, 31, after she shared several posts featuring Coby over the New Year period.

Just three days ago, Coby shared a picture on his Instagram alongside Pippen. He captioned the post: '365+' along with a white heart emoji.

In the comment section, Pippen wrote: 'Love u so much'.

Just a few days prior, Pippen had posted on her own page about Coby and shared a video alongside the basketball star at 'Pippen's Holiday Soiree 2025'.

Social media star Pippen who shares four children with NBA icon ex Scottie Pippen, 59, has previously made headlines for her relationships with younger men.

Pippen previously dated Michael Jordan's son Marcus, 34. They were first spotted together in September 2022, immediately prompting relationship rumors.

At the top of the year, the troubled former UCF Knights basketball star was arrested for cocaine possession after he drunkenly got his Lamborghini struck on a train track in Florida.

Coby recently shared a picture alongside Pippen in an Instagram post earlier this month.

Pippen dated Marcus Jordan from January 2023-March 2024;

LiAngelo Ball, meanwhile, has since retired from basketball and is now a rapper.

Before being detained, he begged officers to help him get his $300,000 Lamborghini off a railroad track after speeding away from a traffic stop and crashing the luxury sports vehicle.

Meanwhile, Pippen also dated NBA star Malik Beasley. They were spotted holding hands back in November 2020 before splitting in April 2021.

Ball, meanwhile, is the brother of NBA stars Lonzo and LaMelo. He also played professional basketball but eventually retired in August last year.

Since leaving basketball, Ball has since embarked on a promising career as a rapper and had a hit song 'Tweaker' go viral last year.
