Larsa Pippen’s son, Preston Pippen, is opening up about the impact of his mother’s rumored relationship with rapper Future in Netflix’s new reality series “Calabasas Confidential.” In the latest episodes, Preston, 23, spoke candidly about the pressure of growing up in the public eye and the awkward social fallout he says he faced at school when reports about his family became tabloid news.
Preston, who is the son of NBA legend Scottie Pippen and Larsa Pippen, said his parents’ divorce was difficult enough on its own, but the situation became even more complicated when his mother began dating again. He explained that being a child of famous parents meant constantly dealing with attention, speculation, and comments from people around him. According to Preston, the family drama did not stay at home — it followed him into school, where classmates allegedly made jokes and references connected to the headlines about his mother.
In his confessional, Preston said the media attention surrounding his family was “all over the place” and made it hard to feel safe or separate from the drama. He described how friends at school would tease him and even play songs by the rapper his mother was reportedly involved with at the time, adding to the discomfort he experienced as a teenager. Preston said the situation was especially painful because he had already been dealing with the stress of his parents’ split.
Larsa Pippen has previously addressed speculation about her relationship with Future. In a 2020 interview, she described the connection as a “respectable relationship” and denied that it involved cheating, saying Scottie Pippen was not living at home with her at the time. She also said the rapper was romantic and that the two connected in a simple, organic way.
Larsa and Scottie Pippen finalized their divorce in December 2021 after multiple years of marital issues. The former couple married in 1997 and share four children: Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin, and Sophia. At the time of the divorce, representatives said the split was handled amicably and that both parents were focused on co-parenting their children.
The episode also fits into a broader theme on “Calabasas Confidential,” which follows celebrity families navigating personal and public challenges. The series has also featured former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Brandi Glanville, who opened up about parenting her son Mason Cibrian in another segment of the show.
