The ever-surprising Larsa Pippen of The Real Housewives of Miami is back in the headlines, this time for a shocking turn in her on-again-off-again fling with former NBA athlete Jeff Coby. Although they had only been dating for a few months and hadn't shared the news of their engagement, Jeff took the paparazzi by surprise with a bold proclamation that he and Larsa were getting married in November 2025.
The couple's public romance has been steaming up ever since, from the paparazzi shots of them practically eating each other's faces in April that shut down weeks of online speculation. But not many people saw them going this far so fast with or without a diamond ring.
"We're getting married November 2025," Jeff casually informed paparazzi on May 5, a mischievous glint in his eye as he said, "It's gonna be a beautiful marriage." Sure, the statement could easily be taken as a joke, but Coby clarified that he hasn't done so. "I can't tell you when I'm proposing," the 31-year-old continued, inviting the public to guess whether this was for real or simply playful banter. For her part, 50-year-old Larsa Pippen stayed silent while the conversation went back and forth, but she let out a visible smile when Jeff made his prediction.
The relationship generates buzz for plenty of reasons, not the least of which is the timing. In February 2024, Larsa had just split from a high-flying relationship with the son of NBA legend Michael Jordan, Marcus Jordan. That coupling also turned heads, partly because of the long-simmering tension between Michael Jordan and Larsa's ex-husband, Scottie Pippen. The pair quit after one year, and just a few weeks later, Larsa was linked to Coby.

Coby, a charismatic former professional basketball player, appears to be enjoying the attention that comes with dating a reality television veteran. Yet the star's frank wedding announcement, with no proposal or engagement ring involved, has raised eyebrows throughout Hollywood.
The couple's age difference has also caused a stir as Larsa is almost 20 years Jeff's senior. But RHOM's star has never been shy about adopting alternative relationships. Her previous romantic relationships with William Starost, Ryan, rapper Desiigner, and NBA players such as Ben Simmons and Jordan Clarkson have all been kept in the public eye, and this new romance with Coby looks to be no exception.
Whether or not that November 2025 wedding date is real, Larsa and Jeff keep fans and haters guessing. Something clearly exists between them, and the sudden ease they embrace before their peers suggests they're not concerned about examining what that is. If the words of Jeff can be believed beyond the extent of mere, ignoble flirtation, that has to be one of the most stunning reality TV marriages in recent memory. But if it's just a cheeky tease, it'll still be a stroke of genius to keep us focused on their sultry romance.
And, in a truly famous manner, the mystery is half the appeal. No engagement ring was visible, and Larsa had made no announcement. So now, we can see if this fairy tale will become a reality or simply another blink-and-it-over Hollywood fantasy. In the meantime, let the countdown to November 2025 and a ring, or the lack of one, begin.
