Real Housewives of Miami star Julia Lemigova is pointing to Larsa Pippen’s “very jealous” behavior as a possible reason for her split from boyfriend Marcus Jordan.
“Relationships are a hard thing. And we all know Larsa is very jealous,” the Bravo star, 51, said, adding that she was “just speculating” about their breakup on the “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast. “I hope, if it’s true, she’s not too heartbroken because — even though we have our differences — if the breakup is true I feel really, really bad for her because she was really in love.”
Lemigova says she saw Pippen’s jealousy firsthand at Bravocon in November 2023, which took place in Las Vegas.

Pippen, 49, was extremely upset after seeing photos of Lemigova on her then-boyfriend’s phone, per multiple outlets at the time.
“I mean, how jealous she got when she saw my picture on Marcus’ phone? Oh my God, and it was like the most innocent thing,” Lemigova said of the incident between the ladies. “And it created a wave, so who knows? Maybe she’s seen a picture of somebody else?”
