Larsa Pippen’s name is back in the headlines—this time not for reality TV drama or ex-boyfriend chatter, but for being spotted holding hands with yet another professional basketball player. The 50-year-old Real Housewives of Miami star was seen getting cozy with 31-year-old Haitian-American baller Jeff Coby at Maple & Ash in Miami, instantly igniting fresh dating rumors and stirring up a frenzy online.

The sighting occurred during the belated 58th birthday celebration of her RHOM co-star Marysol Patton. While both Pippen and Coby reportedly entered the party solo, Page Six reports that they met inside the venue, and before long, were displaying public affection.
Witnesses claimed the two were holding hands and appeared happy and flirtatious, with Larsa “glowing” in a sparkly black mini dress and Coby looking sharp in an all-black ensemble.
This appearance marks the first time Pippen has been romantically linked to anyone since her breakup with Marcus Jordan, the 34-year-old son of NBA legend Michael Jordan.
Larsa and Marcus had a highly publicized on-and-off relationship that captured plenty of attention for its eyebrow-raising connections—considering Marcus’ father was longtime Chicago Bulls teammate and sometimes rival of Larsa’s ex-husband, Scottie Pippen.
Following her split from Marcus in early 2024, Larsa had stated in interviews that she wanted to keep her dating life “lowkey” going forward, telling Page Six she was “trying to lay low” after her last relationship played out so publicly. Fast-forward a year, and this “lowkey” strategy may already be unraveling.
Jeff Coby, the man at the center of the current speculation, is no stranger to professional basketball circles. Standing at 6-foot-8, he played in the G League and most recently suited up for Basket Racing Club Luxembourg of the Total League. Though not an NBA household name, Coby’s presence in the basketball world is enough to fuel the ongoing narrative that Larsa has a well-established “type.”
Whether Larsa and Jeff Coby are officially an item or just enjoying each other’s company remains unclear. Her camp has not yet commented on the sighting, and Coby has stayed silent on social media aside from a few cryptic likes and follows—including Larsa.
Regardless of what comes next, one thing is certain: Larsa Pippen’s love life continues to captivate, combining the worlds of celebrity, reality television, and professional basketball like few others can.
