Scottie Pippen filed for divorce from his wife, Larsa Pippen, after 19 years of marriage, according to TMZ.
The former NBA star, 51, filed the documents in Florida earlier this week, the site reports.
The pair married in 1997 and share four children: Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin and Sophia. Scottie also has three children from previous relationships.
The Chicago Bulls legend and the former Real Housewives of Miami star, 42, were spotted together at a New York Fashion Week event last month, where Sophia was modeling in a children’s fashion show. Both Scottie and Larsa were wearing their wedding rings at the time.
Larsa appeared on the first season of the short-lived Real Housewives of Miami, and the longtime Kardashian BFF frequently makes cameos on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Scottie now works as a special adviser to the Chicago Bulls’ president and COO.
The duo opened up about their marriage to Chicago Splash back in 2012. “There are times when it’s so good, and times when it’s [not]. But you kind of have to make yourself happy first, then you can make the other person happy,” Larsa said, while Scottie added, “We’re in it all the way. That’s what makes it work, two people who are willing to commit themselves.”
