Larsa Pippen continues to prove there is no bad blood between she and estranged husband, former NBA player Scottie Pippen.
On Friday, the reality tv star, 46, took to Instagram to wish her ‘Ace’, 55, a happy birthday with a few throwback snaps of the pair as a young couple and with their kids.
Larsa accompanied the post with a heartfelt message as she wished her former spouse of 21 years well on his special day.
Ace: Larsa Pippen, 46, took to instagram to wish her ‘Ace’ estranged husband of 21 years, NBA player Scottie Pippen, 55, a happy birthday. The reality tv star and jewelry designer shared throwback snaps of the pair as a couple and with their four children
‘Happy birthday Ace love you always! Ya I was with him shooting in the gym’, she captioned the post as she made a cheeky poke at Drake’s song Stay Schemin’ with Rick Ross.
The first snap was a throwback photo of the pair as a young couple, walking hand and hand, from the late nineties when their relationship first started out.
The couple wed in 1997 after meeting in Chicago in 1995 as Larsa was born and raised there, and Scottie famously played for the Chicago Bulls.
In the second photo Larsa shared a portrait of the family. The pair share four children together, Scotty Jr, 19, Preston, 18, Justin, 15, and their only daughter Sophia, 12.
Despite their shortcomings as a couple, the pair keep co-parenting as a top priority with both being incredibly involved in their children’s lives.
The family recently came together a month ago to celebrate the birthday of their son Preston in Los Angeles, as the family posed for a photo in masks after dinner.
Since the spring, fiercely protective Larsa has embroiled herself in controversy relative to her ex husband.

In April, Scottie’s earnings as an NBA player were put on blast after the premiere of the documentary The Last Dance, which prompted Larsa to speak out in defense of her ex.
The documentary explored the fallout between Scottie and the Chicago Bulls, and also revealed that his earnings were far less than many of his teammates which sparked a Twitter debate.
After fans called Scottie ‘undervalued’, Larsa clapped back saying ‘Thx for your concern Scottie did ok #TheLastDance’ as she posted a screenshot of his earnings which revealed he made $109,102,430 over the course of his NBA career.

Back in May, Larsa hit back at trolls who criticized her breakup from Scottie after she posted an Instagram photo with the caption ‘Find someone who’ll put u first’.
Fans were quick to comment, with one saying ‘that’s what scottie did smh (shaking my head)’.
After being accused of cheating on Scottie with rapper Future in 2016, Larsa fired back ‘Stop tripping dude u don’t know what you’re talking about…I held him down and still do. Just bc I don’t air his dirty laundry doesn’t mean it doesn’t stink I just don’t wanna do his laundry anymore.’

The couple who had a long marriage filed for divorce twice.
Scottie filed in 2016, after phone calls surfaced of Larsa alleging he had been verbally abusive to her, and Larsa filed two years later in 2018 citing irreconcilable differences.
A rep of the former Real Housewife of Miami spoke out after the news hit, with a statement:
‘Although they are no longer to be married, Larsa remains hopeful that she and Scottie will always do what is best for their 4 beautiful children and jointly raise them with love and respect.’
Flying solo: Larsa has been romantically linked to Future though both parties denied the affair. The rumors caused uproar, with many claiming that Larsa cheated on Scottie which prompted his decision to file for divorce in 2016
