The Real Housewives of Miami star Larsa Pippen‘s son, Preston Pippen, is currently starring on Calabasas Confidential.
On episodes four and six of the show, Preston opened up about his mom’s alleged affair.
Explaining to friends that Larsa’s in a “weird place” and had a “new relationship per usual,” Preston claimed he was “glad” he wasn’t “dealing with it all so close.”
“It kind of sucks when your parents are divorced,” he continued. “That’s one thing, and then once they start dating, it’s another thing. If they get remarried, then it’s a bigger thing.”
While speaking in a confessional, he went on to share that there’s “no age” at which a person feels comfortable with their parents getting divorced. He also said Larsa was “getting a lot of exposure” at the time.
“My parents got divorced when I was 15, and it was really tough because there was an affair,” Preston later said, referencing his mom’s alleged affair with rapper Future prior to her leaving Scottie Pippen. “Kids at school, like my friends, would play music by a rapper that my mom was talking to at the time, and it was just s*itty. I am removed from it now, so it’s easy to kind of talk about.”
When Larsa first separated from Scottie, she dated Future.
On a 2021 episode of Hollywood Unlocked, she talked about that. “I was in a point in my life when I was really sad,” Larsa said. “I was dealing with, ‘Do I move on, do I not, are my kids going to be okay?’ It was a lot of guilt that I felt, and he was the guy that was there to see me go through it, and he was the guy that I would talk to when I was kinda, like, dealing with things. He just gave me confidence when I was feeling in a dark place.”
In a new interview with Us Weekly, Preston addressed whether he had any pause about joining Calabasas Confidential given that growing up in the public eye had an impact on him.
@usweekly Larsa and Scottie Pippen’s son Preston spoke to Us about how growing up in the public eye influenced his decision to join Netflix’s CalabasasConfidential.
“I think just like a big part of my childhood, my childhood, but like there was a point in my development where I got a lot of attention, negative attention, because of my parents,” he shared. “So, having to like take a pause and ask myself like, ‘Am I ready now to kind of take that heat?’ I definitely — I had that, you know, that thought to myself, but — you got to kind of roll with it. I mean, I’m, I’m a big boy now.”
