Being a dedicated housewife can be considered as the most priceless profession for a woman. Housewives don't get to earn daily as businesswomen do. They don't have a fixed monthly salary, don't even get the recognition and promotion that they very much deserve. Despite all these, it is the most self-fulfilling profession especially when they see happiness and contentment on their children and husband's faces.

However, there are instances wherein opportunity suddenly knocks at your door, and being the natural dreamer as all women are, you will be left with two options: fulfil your responsibility or follow your dreams. This is exactly what The Real Housewives of Miami star, Larsa Pippen, went through.
Bull's Love at first sight
Larsa fell in love with the multi-dimensional seven-time NBA All-Star player, Scottie Pippen. It was 1995, after the Chicago Bulls won their 6th NBA Championship, when Larsa and Scottie met. They've been together for two years before finally deciding to settle down. Their wedding ceremony was held on July 20, 1997.
How they kept the ball rolling?
After years of marriage, the couple was blessed with four kids: three boys and a girl, namely Sophia, Justin, Preston and Scottie Jr. They finally settled in Miami as a family.
Larsa has been a dedicated housewife ever since they started building a family. She considered taking care of her husband and their kids as her priority. But not until she was given a big break to become one of the cast of the reality TV show, "The Real Housewives of Miami".
The Big Break and the Real Break
Arguments inside the marriage are normal. You just have to understand each other's point of view and talk it over. Though, not all couples make it through just by talking it over. Larsa and Scottie's communication gap started when Larsa accepted the reality TV show offer. As the head of the family, Scottie wants his wife to focus on being a wife and a mother to their children, and he doesn't want her to enter the show business.
On the other hand, Larsa, even at her young age, has been dreaming of being famous in the industry. This is when financial troubles started to arise as they experienced several investment losses. Their family and relationship struggled even more when Scottie served as an NBA Ambassador and most of his time was spent travelling with the team.
All challenges even got worse when rumors about Larsa and the American Rapper, Future, came circling around Hollywood. After 19 years of being married, Scottie finally filed for divorce in 2016. The good thing with this couple is that they still remain as good co-parents and continued to raise and support their four children up to now.
