Larsa Pippen’s much-younger boyfriend Jeff Coby is already ring shopping.

The Real Housewives of Miami star, 50, started dating the Haitian-American basketball player, 31, earlier this year following her split from Marcus Jordan, 34.

Despite only knowing each other for a short time, the couple are moving full steam ahead to a bigger and more serious commitment.

‘She tells me what she likes and what she doesn’t like,’ Coby said about Pippen’s preferences. ‘It’s relatively collaborative at the moment.’

As for the proposal and when and where is may happen, Coby told Us Weekly, ‘we’re both super busy at the moment.’

Coby added, ‘The only thing I can say is to confirm that it’s coming.’

Coby said his relationship with Pippen has made him ‘a happier person,’ but being in the public eye has been an adjustment for the former Columbia University basketball player

‘The public eye can be crazy at times,’ Coby said. ‘You have to really hone in on protecting the household.’

Coby added, ‘It’s definitely interesting because normally you go out to a restaurant, but you’re not expecting a group of people outside waiting to take photos of you. 

‘Honestly, I think it makes us closer because we have to be cognizant of how narratives can be painted out,’ he said. 

‘You really just want to do things that reflect the other person in the best light possible.’

Larsa was previously married to NBA Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen from 1997 to 2021.

The couple shares four kids: Scotty Jr., 24, Preston, 22, Justin, 19, and Sophia, 16.

Larsa also had an on-again, off-again relationship with Marcus Jordan, the son of NBA legend and Chicago Bulls teammate of Scottie’s, Michael Jordan. 

They dated for two years before calling it quits in March 2024.

Coby decided to publicly announce their future wedding date in Miami on May 5 to TMZ, ‘We’re getting married November 2025.’

‘2026,’ Coby corrected himself.

‘We’re getting married. It’s going to be a beautiful marriage. November 2025.’

Larsa then slightly smiled as she looked up at the 6ft8in former pro basketball player.

‘Are you proposing now?’ the lensman asked.

‘I can’t tell you where I’m going to propose,’ Jeff smiled coyly.

Larsa remained silent throughout the bizarre exchange, and she only mouthed ‘thank you’ after repeatedly being congratulated.

DBC Fitness owner David Alexander reportedly set Pippen and Coby up at the 10-year anniversary bash for his gym at ZZs Club Miami on January 9.
