Reality star and ex-Kardashian-bestie Larsa Pippen has been in the press a whole lot recently, after she spoke out on Kanye ‘brainwashing’ the Kardashians to not speak to her, and her relationship with Tristan Thomson prior to him meeting Khloe. But who really is the reality-tv beauty? Here’s a few things about the Real Housewife which you might not know!

1. Larsa describes herself as Assyrian. Her mother is from Lebanon and her father is from Syria. Larsa’s maiden name was Younan, prior to marrying Scottie Pippen on 20th July 1997.

 

2. She attended the University of Illinois and received a bachelor’s degree in political science.

3. She featured on Real Housewives of Miami, Season 1, but did not return for another series. Larsa’s bio on Bravo reads “This wife of NBA superstar Scottie Pippen shares the unofficial title of ‘Hottest NBA Wife’ with her friend Cristy Rice. A snarky Assyrian Lebanese beauty, Larsa boasts that she’s successful at everything she does, including playing wife and mother to her four young kids. When she’s not busy turning her three little boys into star athletes, shopping for her one-year-old princess, or firing nannies, Larsa is happy to spend a little time on herself”. We think this one needs updating, Bravo.

4. She has four children; Scotty Jnr, Sophia, Preston and Justin. Sophia competed on Dancing With the Stars Junior.

5. Larsa and Scottie filed for divorce in 2016 but then called it off. After Larsa was snapped hanging with rapper French Montana without a wedding ring, she then reportedly filed for divorce again on 2nd November 2018.

6. She has a deal with Pretty Little Thing which, according to Page Six, was a ‘close to six figure [US dollars] social media deal”. Cha-ching!

7. She has a fitness business called Larsa Pippen Fitness, where she shares videos of her workouts, recipes and coaching for a subscription fee.

8. There have been rumours regarding Larsa and romantic relationships with rapper Future, Too Hot To Handle’s Harry Joswey and Kendall’s ex Ben Simmons.

9. Despite the major drama between Larsa and the Kardashian family, she still wished Kim a happy 40th birthday via an Instagram story of the two of them which read ‘lots of love’. Was this an olive branch? 

10. Her Halloween costume was Tiger King themed with pal Eric Edelist dressing as Joe Exotic and her dressing as, well… a leopard. Guess who else also had dressed up as Joe Exotic and tigers this Halloween? Yep, Kim and her family. Larsa captioned her image “We went to a Halloween party days ago and I’m not trying to keep up with anyone else’s costumes”. Sorry Larsa, but Kim wins this one – that attention to detail!
