Larsa Pippen was spotted showing PDA with basketball player Jeff Coby while attending Marysol Patton’s belated 58th birthday party — more than a year after breaking up with Marcus Jordan.

The “Real Housewives of Miami” star, 50, arrived “holding hands” with the “tall” and “much-younger guy” on Saturday at the newly opened restaurant Maple & Ash, a source tells Page Six exclusively.

Coby, a 31-year-old 6-foot-8 Haitian-American pro baller, was photographed entering the trendy eatery solo in an all-black ensemble, while Pippen showed up in a sparkly black dress. However, they apparently found each other inside the establishment once they were out of sight from the paparazzi.

“They were cute. She was glowing,” the insider tells us, adding that the Bravolebrity “seemed really happy and smiley.”

It is unclear whether Pippen and Coby are officially dating or keeping things casual.

Her rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

At the event, we’re told Patton, who celebrated her actual birthday on Jan. 9, wore a custom Michael Fausto dress adorned with 200 Swarovski crystals while accompanied by her husband, Steve McNamara.

Newly divorced “RHOM” star Alexia Nepola rolled up to the event by herself, while “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Cynthia Bailey showed up on the arm of new boyfriend LePrince.

“Cynthia was introducing LePrince as her boyfriend to the other ‘Housewives,’” a spy tells us, adding, “They were very affectionate with each other, holding hands and cuddling each other at the table. She looks so happy!”

Other “RHOM” cast members in attendance included Kiki Barth, Lisa Hochstein and her younger boyfriend, Jody Glidden, and Julia Lemigova and her tennis star wife, Martina Navratilova.

Notably absent from the soirée were Adriana de Moura and Guerdy Abraira.

We hear the ritzy evening began with an over-the-top caviar station, where the TV personalities were seen doing caviar bumps or snacking on caviar-topped potato chips.

Passed hors d’oeuvres included Wagyu beef tenderloin skewers and bluefin tuna tartare bites, while the main course consisted of filet mignon, Mediterranean branzino and lion’s mane mushroom Milanese.

Patton used a saber to pop an expensive bottle of Cristal Champagne with her husband, while her friends popped confetti and danced and schmoozed before dinner.

“At the end of the night, Lisa and Marysol hopped on the bar, posing for pictures while screaming and cheering in excitement for the birthday celebration,” the spy says.

We’re also told that throughout the night, Hochstein, 42, was all over Glidden, while Bailey, 58, and Barth, 35, bonded and laughed on the side of the table.

“At one point, they all started swinging their napkins around to the song ‘Don’t Leave Me This Way’ by George Benson and everyone was singing at the top of their lungs,” the spy shares.

We hear Patton and her guests partied all night and did not make their exit until 2 a.m.

Pippen’s romantic evening out with her new flame comes after she officially ended her on-again, off-again relationship with Michael Jordan’s son in March 2024.

In October, Pippen told Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” that she was “trying to lay low” when it comes to her dating life.

“I think from my last relationship, it was so public that I think in this chapter of my life, I want to keep certain things to myself and not be so overly open because it just didn’t work out well for me, my last situation,” she said.

“I think I want to get to know people, go on dates, and then once I figure it out, you know, the vibe with the person, then maybe [I’ll] be open to sharing,” she added.

Pippen and Marcus, 34, went Instagram-official in January 2023 following months of dating speculation. Their romance played in front of Bravo cameras on “RHOM” Season 6, but they called it quits by the time its final episodes began airing the next year.

The former jewelry designer shares four children with ex-husband Scottie Pippen, to whom she was married from 1997 to 2021.
