Her beach outing comes just weeks after she was in the midst of a scandal – after she was seen holding hands with married, father of one NBA father Malik Beasley, 24, in Miami.
Soon after the pictures surfaced, E! News reported that Malik’s wife Montana Yao filed for divorce after learning of her husband’s hand holding outing.
‘Montana filed for a divorce the day she saw the photos,’ the insider said. ‘Montana never cheated, and it’s not in her character. She’s not dating anybody. She’s a family person. She’s focusing on taking care of her son with her parents. They are quarantining together. Her son is her first priority.’
Earlier this week, the 23-year-old Yao said: ‘Wow… I don’t even know this man…’
She continued: ‘This is wild y’all I’m seeing it for the first time just like y’all.’
Social media users were critical of Larsa’s response after she shared a text post to Instagram praying ‘for healing & comfort for anyone dealing with heartache.’

In May of this year, Larsa slammed trolls after they criticized her caption that seemingly alluded to her estranged husband, basketball legend Scottie Pippen.
The duo are parents to four children together: sons Scotty Jr, Preston, and Justin, and daughter Sophia.
The criticism started after she posted a snap of herself and captioned it: ‘Find someone who’ll put you first.’
People commented things like ‘To [sic] bad you didn’t put Scottie pippen first’ and ‘that’s what scottie did,’ according to People.

Larsa replied back to the critics, writing: ‘Really? I did everything for him literally everything’ as well as ‘How do you know that?’
When one troll mentioned the rumor that she committed ‘adultery first’ she wrote a scathing response 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.’
Her clapback came nearly a month after she defended him on Twitter after the Michael Jordan docuseries The Last Dance talked about Scottie’s earnings with the Chicago Bulls, revealing it was much less than Jordan’s.

‘Thx for your concern Scottie did ok #TheLastDance,’ adding a screengrab of an article about it.
He made $109,102,430 during his NBA career, People reported.
Larsa and Scottie wed in 1997 but split in October 2016; Scottie filed for divorce from her just two days after two voice recordings were released with Larsa alleging that he was verbally aggressive to her in a call to the police.
Cops made two visits in early October 2016 for domestic disturbances but no further details were ever known.
He asked the divorce to be dismissed in November 2017, suggesting they reconciled – with the duo hitting the carpet together in February 2018.
However, in November 2018 Larsa filed for divorce after 21 years of marriage, after allegedly cheating on him, an allegation she later shut down on Twitter in since-deleted tweets.
