Nicole Murphy, 56, and Marcus Jordan, 33: Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number?

Nicole Murphy, at 56, is turning heads once again—not just because of her timeless beauty and killer confidence—but because she’s now reportedly dating Marcus Jordan, the 33-year-old son of basketball legend Michael Jordan. Yep, you read that right. A 23-year age gap, and she’s still living her best life without a care in the world. And honestly? We’re not mad at her.

Nicole has always carried herself with grace, glam, and a certain kind of “I know who I am” energy. So if she’s vibing with Marcus, and he’s matching her energy, more power to them. She’s not out here hiding, nor is she trying to explain herself. That level of confidence is a whole different kind of flex.

Now, let’s be real for a second—many of us have noticed the trend: the older we get, the younger the guys that try to shoot their shot. And while it might be flattering, it’s not always appealing. A lot of younger dudes come with emotional rollercoasters and a lack of maturity that just doesn’t mix with a woman who knows herself, her worth, and what she’s not willing to tolerate.

Been there, done that… learned my lesson.

But Nicole? She’s clearly in a different space. Maybe Marcus is an old soul. Maybe he’s different. Maybe they’re just having fun—and isn’t that what life is about? Living it authentically, unapologetically, and on your own terms.

So cheers to Nicole for flipping the script, doing what makes her happy, and not letting age define who she loves or how she lives. Whether it lasts or it’s just a moment, she’s setting an example: do you, and do it boldly.

Because one thing’s for sure—she’s not aging… she’s leveling up.
