Larsa Pippen and Malik Beasley were first rumored to be dating in November 2020 after they were photographed holding hands in Miami, per Us Weekly. The PDA photos began to make the rounds online and caused a stir, as the NBA player was married to Montana Yao at that time. Just days after the pics surfaced, Beasley filed for divorce from Yao. "They had issues before. It had nothing to do with me, so I wasn't thinking anything about it," Larsa said of the situation during an interview on Hollywood Unlocked With Jason Lee.
Malik's divorce drama cast an even bigger spotlight on his reported relationship with Larsa. In February, they were reported to have spent Valentine's Day together. However, sources tell the outlet that things quickly fizzled out following the special occasion. In March, they unfollowed each other on social media, sparking speculation of a split. A source close to the former reality TV star now tells the magazine that Larsa simply didn't want the drama in her life, but that she and Malik remain friends following the breakup. "Larsa decided to distance herself from the drama. He was going through a lot and the timing wasn't right," the insider dished. Larsa Pippen is reportedly now "focusing on her family and Larsa Marie, her jewelry brand," the source added.
