4. Scotty Pippen Jr. (Born 2000)
Scotty Jr. is the eldest of the four children Scottie shares with his ex-wife, Larsa Pippen. Born on November 10, 2000, he is the most famous of the Pippen children due to his burgeoning NBA career.
Current Career Update (2025): Scotty Pippen Jr. is currently a guard for the Memphis Grizzlies, having signed a multi-year standard contract with the team. He had a breakout 2024–2025 season, which included a career-high 30 points and 10 assists against his father's former team, the Chicago Bulls, in November 2024. Most notably, on November 8, 2024, he recorded his first career triple-double (11 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists), making him and his father the first father-son duo in NBA history to each record a triple-double. In October 2025, it was announced he would miss at least 12 weeks after undergoing surgery on his left big toe. Scotty Jr. has openly discussed the pressure of the Pippen name, noting that he had to learn to "embrace it" to focus on his own journey.
5. Preston Pippen (Born 2002)

He is more private than his siblings but occasionally shares glimpses of his life on Instagram.
6. Justin Pippen (Born 2005)
Justin is the third son Scottie shares with Larsa Pippen, born on July 11, 2005. Like his older brothers, he played high school basketball at Sierra Canyon.
Current Career Update (2025): Justin is actively pursuing his basketball career at the collegiate level. In a major update in April 2025, the shooting guard announced his commitment to the University of California, Berkeley (Cal) as a transfer, after spending his freshman season with the Michigan Wolverines. He was a highly-rated four-star recruit coming out of high school.
7. Sophia Pippen (Born 2008)
Sophia is the youngest of the Pippen children and the only daughter Scottie shares with Larsa Pippen, born on December 26, 2008 (turning 17 in late 2025). Sophia showed early interest in the entertainment industry, having competed on Dancing with the Stars: Juniors in 2018.
Current Career Update (2025): Sophia has rapidly become a rising star in the fashion and modeling world. She is signed to a modeling agency and has a significant social media presence. Most notably, she has collaborated with her father to launch a luxury streetwear brand called Unguarded, set to launch in 2025. She is not just a model for the brand but is also credited as its lead designer, working alongside Cassius Smith. Sophia maintains a bicoastal lifestyle, splitting her time between Los Angeles and Miami, where her parents reside.
The Complex Dynamics of the Pippen Family Co-Parenting
The lives of Scottie Pippen's children are shaped by a complex family structure involving four different mothers, which has led to varying relationships with their famous father. The four children he shares with Larsa Pippen—Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin, and Sophia—have generally enjoyed a close, co-parenting dynamic, despite Scottie and Larsa finalizing their divorce in 2021.
Larsa Pippen has stated that she and Scottie are "very amicable" and have similar parenting styles, prioritizing their children's happiness and supporting their diverse passions. This unified front has allowed their children to pursue high-profile careers, from Scotty Jr.'s professional basketball aspirations to Sophia's fashion design and modeling career.
However, the relationships with his older daughters, Taylor and Sierra, whose mothers are Sonya Roby and Yvette DeLeon, have been more strained, including initial paternity denials. Taylor has been particularly outspoken about her challenging relationship with Scottie, though recent photos suggest some degree of reconciliation or contact has occurred in the last few years. The Pippen name, therefore, carries a different weight for each child: for some, it is a source of direct support and an NBA blueprint; for others, it is a famous surname they are determined to define on their own terms, whether in finance, art, or fashion.
