Real Housewives of Miami star Larsa Pippen has a new man in her life. She confirmed her new romance with Jeff Coby this week. And this Larsa dating news comes just in time for the new season of RHOM, which is set to premiere soon. Andy Cohen has already promised it is a scorcher.
Larsa’s new relationship with Jeff comes after her dramatic split and on-again/off-again rollercoaster with Marcus Jordan. Of course, that romance was always controversial. Her new relationship with Jeff certainly doesn’t have that much of a dramatic backstory. Here’s everything we know so far about the new man Larsa’s dating.
Larsa Pippen is now dating Jeff Coby
We first found out about the new man in Larsa’s life in late March. That’s when the House of Villains contestant was spotted with Jeff at RHOM co-star Marysol Patton’s birthday party. While Larsa and Jeff arrived at the event separately, a fellow partygoer reported that the two were holding hands. The source said Larsa and Jeff were “cute” together. The onlooker added that Larsa was “glowing” and “seemed really happy” with her new man.
That initial birthday party sighting sparked dating speculation, though it wasn’t clear if they were a couple or just having a good time. But the couple did a hard launch, so to speak, in mid-April. Larsa and Jeff were spotted engaging in public displays of affection in a Miami parking garage. When those pictures came out, a source confirmed that Larsa and Jeff have been dating since January. The insider made sure to emphasize how happy Larsa is with her new boyfriend.
At this time, Larsa has yet to publicly comment on her relationship with Jeff. But on April 16, the couple made their official red carpet debut by attending the premiere of The Accountant 2.
Larsa Pippen’s new boyfriend Jeff Coby: Age, career, and other details
Now that Larsa and Jeff confirmed they’re dating, RHOM fans are naturally curious to learn more about her new boyfriend. Especially his age, considering Larsa’s habit of dating younger guys since her divorce from Scottie Pippen. To start, Jeff Coby is a 31-year-old 6-foot-8 basketball player. By comparison, Larsa is 50, so they have a 19-year age gap. A tall and much younger guy who is also a basketball player … Jeff certainly seems to fit Larsa’s type!
Jeff is a Haitian-American former athlete. While both of his parents are Haitian, Jeff was born and raised in Florida, where he played high school basketball. He attended Columbia University, where he played basketball for the Columbia Lions. In his senior year of college, Jeff was named Columbia’s defensive player of the year. Jeff graduated from the university in 2017 with a degree in art history and sociology.
In his professional career, Jeff played basketball in Spain, Luxembourg, Japan, and the Dominican Republic. He’s also played for the Haitian national basketball team. He was added to the Knicks’ training roster in 2018 and signed with the Austin Spurs in 2019.
At this time, Jeff’s social media is private. It’s unclear if it was already that way before, or if he changed it after his romance with Larsa went public.
What happened between Larsa Pippen and ex Marcus Jordan?
While they dated for over a year, Larsa and Marcus were always a controversial couple. But their relationship led to a joint appearance on The Traitors Season 2. As well as a short-lived podcast.
Things with Marcus started to go south when he threw a backstage tantrum at the RHOM Season 6 reunion. That led to a brief split. But they got back together so quickly, Larsa’s own co-stars weren’t sure if that breakup was ever for real. Ultimately, Larsa and Marcus called things off again during the summer of 2024. Afterwards, Marcus landed in hot water when he was arrested for drug possession and a DUI. He eventually admitted to a substance abuse problem.
After they split for good, Larsa swore she was better off without Marcus, claiming she slept “like a baby.” She also expressed her wish to date a “boss” next. We’ll have to wait and see if Jeff is the “boss” she’s been waiting for.
