Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan Join Cast of ‘Traitor’ Season 2 (Exclusive)
PEOPLE broke the news Wednesday that Pippen, 49, and Jordan, 32, will join the show’s second season. They will make history as the first couple to enter the game with an exposed relationship. A previous couple in Australia tried to play the game by hiding their romance, but were eventually discovered and voted off.
This means that Larsa and Marcus’ relationship could be a big target on their back from the start among their fellow “believers”. They already seemed inseparable, posing for cute selfies on Instagram Stories from Scotland on Wednesday.
