Jeff Coby is opening up on what it’s like to date someone constantly at the center of B.S. rumors … telling TMZ Sports the people making up nonsense are just jealous of what he and Larsa Pippen have together.
Pippen recently had to shut down a bogus report she was in a relationship with LiAngelo Ball … which many believed, considering her dating history with younger guys in the basketball world, like Coby and Marcus Jordan.
So, we asked Coby, a former pro player, how he deals with the chatter … and the 31-year-old made it clear he’s not letting it get to him.
“Me and Larsa have a very secured relationship,” Cody said, “and one thing about it is the communication and making sure we communicate at a very high and effective level.”
“We have to deal with a bunch of people trying to use other people’s name for clicks and photoshopping stuff — honestly, it’s wack! That part is wack! Get a grip!”
Coby added, “When people see that we’re in a happy, fulfilling relationship, it’s only a matter of time until the haters try and stir the pot.”
The couple began dating in April 2025 … and Coby says their relationship is moving to the next level — something he looks forward to with Larsa, whom he describes as an amazing, sweet, and loving person.
He’s also working on his career — we spoke to him at a book launch for “The Cure,” a Dr. Sebi autobiography that will be released on February 3.
So blocking the outside noise and staying busy … it seems to be an effective approach.
