Her parents did not marry.
Scottie and Susan Roby, her parents, were in a relationship but never married. In an interview, her father denied having a connection with her mother and said that he made a huge mistake that he couldn’t repair, so he had to go on. He first refused to accept her and her twin sister and even disputed a paternity test, but he was forced to confess it when a DNA test confirmed he was their father.
Soon after the birth, he began dating and later married Yvette De Leon. Sierra, their daughter, was born. Taylor is a year younger than Sierra. After her father refused to accept responsibility for her, a protracted legal fight ensued. According to the Associated Press, her father has been ordered to pay her mother $10,000 in medical bills. Her mother also requested $11,500 in child support because she thought her daughter deserved the same lifestyle as her half-sister Sierra. The matter was subsequently resolved, and her father agreed to enroll her in NBA health insurance.
A difficult upbringing
Even if her father is regarded as the finest player, he cannot be the best parent. Taylor had a difficult childhood since she never received her father’s affection, which she deserved. During an interview with El Mundo in 2016, she said that she had no idea how he was as a parent since he refused to meet her. She likes not to think about it too much since her father determined it would be that way.
She had to deal with a lot of inquiries about her father since she was born and raised in Chicago, and although she understands how much her last name weighs and what others expect from her, she has learned that it is nothing more than a last name.
Her twin sister died.
Taylor and her twin sister Tyler were born at Mercy Hospital in Chicago, but Tyler died tragically only nine days later. Her father has an older half-brother, Antron Pippen, from his first marriage to Karen McCollum in 1987, which he divorced three years later. Antron, unfortunately, died in 2021 at the age of 31 as a result of persistent asthma.
She has three younger half-siblings, two sisters, and three brothers in addition. Sierra, her half-sister, was born to her father via his ex-fiancee Yvette De Leon, while three of her half-brothers, Scotty Pippen Jr., Preston Pippen, and Justin Pipen, as well as her sister Sophia, were born to her father during his second marriage to Larsa Pippen.
