In her Instagram post with Marcus, Larsa made it clear where her loyalties lie now. “Checks over stripes,” she wrote — “checks” referencing Nike, a longtime partner of Michael Jordan’s, while “stripes” calls out Adidas, Nike’s competitor.

PEOPLE confirmed earlier this month that Larsa and Marcus were officially an item after months of speculation, a source saying they were"happy and dating."
A second insider elaborated more on the status of their relationship, telling PEOPLE: “It is still casual and they’re having fun,” they said. “She’s trying her best to keep it quiet and not make a big deal out of it. They see each other at least a few times a week.”
The couple was first spotted together at Zuma in Miami in September, though Larsa insisted to PEOPLE at BravoCon 2022 in October that the two were “just friends.”

She played similarly coy about the romance when grilled about it during a December appearance onWatch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, where Marcus sat front-row in the audience.
“What does Scottie think about your friendship?” hostAndy Cohen, 54, asked Larsa after she claimed Marcus was just a friend.
“I don’t know,” she answered.
A surprised Cohen followed up. “You don’t know? He’s never mentioned it to you, and you’ve never mentioned it to him?” he asked, Larsa responding, “No.”
TheHousewivesproducer continued to press. “The kids have never said, ‘This is bugging daddy?'” — to which Larsa said, “No.”
