Who Are Scottie Pippen’s Kids?

Pippen is the father of seven children, many of whom have different mothers, according to US Weekly. Pippen’s first child, Antron Pippen, was welcomed to the world in 1987 by his then girlfriend and soon-to-be wife, Karen McCollum. The two later got a divorce in 1990. Unfortunately, Antron Pippen unexpectedly died in 2021 at 33 years old. Pippen announced this loss on X (formerly known as Twitter) with the caption:

“Antron suffered from chronic asthma and if he hadn’t had it, I truly believe he would’ve made it to the NBA. He never let that get him down though — Antron stayed positive and worked hard, and I am so proud of the man that he became.”

Following the birth of Antron, Pippen’s then girlfriend, Sonya Roby, gave birth to twins in 1994. They were named Taylor and Tyler. Sadly, Tyler passed away nine days after his birth.

In 1995, Pippen’s then fiancée, Yvette De Leon, gave birth to their daughter Sierra. Their engagement eventually failed, leading Pippen to meet and marry Larsa Pippen two years later.

Larsa and Pippen first had their son Scotty Jr. in 2000. Then followed Preston in 2022, Justin in 2005, and Sophia in 2008.

It’s unclear how much Pippen has to pay for child support. However, according to People, Pippen currently has to cover high school and college expenses, insurance, medical expenses, and daycare.
