First Marriage
In 1988, Pippen married Karen McCollum, and they got divorced in 1990. They had a son together, Antron Pippen who was born in 1987. Little is known about Pippen's marriage to McCollum, but The Blast reported that the Bulls star was in a relationship with another woman while he was with his first wife.
Second Marriage
Pippen got married again in 1997 to Larsa. They had four kids together, Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin and Sophia. The couple got divorced in 2018, and at the time, Larsa told The Blast: "It is with deep sadness that Scottie and I announce that we are legally separating," Larsa said in a statement to The Blast. "We have both tried very hard for a long time to make our marriage work and have ultimately come to the conclusion that it is best that we live separate lives. We have so many amazing memories together, remain best of friends and love each other very much. Our four children have always been our priority and for their sake we ask for as much privacy as possible for our family during this sensitive time."
Antron Pippen
Antron Pippen was the first child of Scottie and played college basketball. He grew up in Georgia, and he was one of the top high school basketball players in the state.
