Larsa Pippen doesn't play when it comes to internet chatter, and she's now shut down rumors that she's dating LiAngelo "GELO" Ball.
Given The Real Housewives of Miami star's history with dating younger men, like Marcus Jordan, 35, and her current boyfriend, professional basketball player Jeff Coby, 31, the rumor didn't seem far-fetched to some.
According to TMZ, the 51-year-old commented on an Instagram post that claimed she and GELO were seeing each other. "Stop w the fake news," she reportedly wrote.
On Pippen's Instagram page, the reality television star, who divorced former NBA player Scottie Pippen in 2021 after 24 years of marriage, last posted a reel of her and Coby attending a pre-Christmas event.
The couple appear to still be going strong, and in July, she told People that she and Coby had began discussing engagement plans.
"I didn't want to share it with the world, but now I'm in a place where we get along really well, we basically do everything together, and so now we're more open," Pippen said about Coby, whom she called "family-oriented" and "so kind."
On GELO's end, while it appears he has never been involved with Pippen, he does have a history with older women, like his ex-wife, Rashida Nicole, and Nikki Mudarris, the mother of two of his children.
In the last year, the three were involved in a love triangle when GELO married Rashida shortly after his breakup with Mudarris, who gave birth to their youngest child just weeks before.
But after Rashida announced that she and GELO were expecting their first child together, the rapper and former athlete filed for divorce, later alleging that he was coerced into marriage.
"She drove me [to the courthouse], n***a. I'm out there about to cry in the whip," Ball recalled on a December 2025 episode of Ball in the Family. "I felt disconnected type shit. I'm telling her like, 'I don't want to get married, n***a. I don't want to do none of this shit.' But then I was like, 'I'm doing it though, n***a.' And I did not understand."
