Among all the iconic women in the Real Housewivesfranchise,Larsa Pippen's premiere-to-present-day transformation has been something to behold. When we first met the Chicago native in 2011, she was packing to take her four little kids to Disney World.
"We have three boys and one girl," shared Larsa of her children with then-husband Scottie Pippen in Season 1, Episode 1 of The Real Housewives of Miami. "Our oldest son, Scotty, is just like his dad: Super, super competitive. Preston, our second son, is a little more laid back. Justin is four; he basically, like, dominates the house. He yells, he screams, he has to have his way. But he looks just like me, so he's a cutie. And then there's baby Sophia who's 15 months old."
When the show returned for Season 4 in 2021, Larsa was recently divorced and the four Pippen kids had grown into impressive people in their own right. The boys were living in Los Angeles with their dad, while Sophia and Larsa were making their home in Miami. Sophia has since moved to Los Angeles as well.

Larsa's four kids are all fairly close in age; they were born between 2000 and 2008.
At the end of 2023, Larsa and her boyfriend, Marcus Jordan, flew to Los Angeles so they could all celebrate the holidays as a family.

These days, she's a teenager who has had some luck in the modeling world.
"Sophia is a freshman in high school. She wanted to go to school in L.A. this year," Larsa shared during Season 6, Episode 11. "It's hard. For sure, it's hard. But, for me, Miami is home. Like, that's where my heart and my soul is, and Sophia loves being in L.A., and so it's okay. You know, her dad is there. She kind of goes back and forth, and she's happy. That's the only thing that I care about."

"I couldn't be more proud of you," Larsa wrote via her Instagram Story while celebrating Sophia's 15th birthday in December 2023.
