Reality TV star Larsa Pippen has been rumoured to be engaged to Marcus Jordan. The 49-year-old was previously married to the basketball legend's former teammate Scottie Pippen.
She's been dating Jordan for several months, and they sparked engagement rumours last week as Larsa flashed a sparkler on her left hand after having dinner with her boyfriend.

However, Larsa has now revealed it's not an engagement ring. Speaking on her 'Separation Anxiety' podcast with Marcus, she explained the situation.
"We're not engaged," Pippen said. "But you did give me a promise ring."
Marcus - who followed in his dad's footsteps by playing college basketball - added: "I definitely gave you a promise ring," before adding that they have spoken about marriage, but it's not a "priority" for the couple.
Larsa added that if they do tie the knot, it's going to be in an exotic location. She went on to say: "The only thing we've come up with is that we want a destination wedding."
Marcus added the pictures of Larsa wearing her promise ring came after they were being bombarded with questions about a possible engagement. He said: "Paparazzi got us leaving the restaurant and asked us if there were wedding plans in the works, and so, I think I responded in a cheeky way."

He admitted he made up a story for photographers, telling them the couple are already looking for a location for their wedding. Larsa then added: "I had a hundred calls and text messages from people congratulating us."
Marcus said one of those who got in touch after the false engagement story broke was his dad, but he didn't share what the retired basketball star wrote in his text messages to his son.
It comes after Michael publicly voiced his disapproval of his son's relationship with Scottie Pippen's ex. When asked if he approved of the romance, Michael told TMZ, "No".
Larsa later revealed she felt embarrassed and traumatised by the remark, but they have since cleared the air with the sports legend.
In a previous episode of the podcast, she said of the drama: "I do understand that it's not awkward for us to be together because it's us, but it probably is awkward for my ex and your dad because they have their own relationship or whatever it was. I wasn't a part of that; you weren't a part of that. So, I feel like for them, it probably is weird for your dad. I can't be mad. I understand."
