Scottie Pippen filed for divorce from Larsa on 21 October after 19 years of marriage and reports about the reason behind the split are doing the rounds. According to TMZ Sports, Larsa's alleged relationship with Future may have led to her split from the NBA player.

Sources from Scottie and Larsa's side told the website that the latter had been jumping on Future's private jet, traveling with him to various cities, including Las Vegas. Sources added that Scottie's wife and the rapper were very "cozy" recently at Komodo nightclub in Miami.

Although they are no longer to be married, Larsa remains hopeful that she and Scottie will always do what is best for their 4 beautiful children and jointly raise them with love and respect."

"She would like to thank everyone for their understanding and kindly ask for privacy from the media during this difficult time of transition for her family."
