Magic Johnson, the NBA star, wrote a touching tribute for his son EJ’s 31st birthday.
Magic, 63, shared two images, with EJ, 31, one of which was a family shot with EJ’s mother, Cookie Johnson.
“Happy Birthday to my son, EJ,” Magic wrote in the description of the photo. “I love your pure heart and creativity! Keep living your truth, it’s what I love about you most! Have a great day!”
Cookie, 64, shared a similar message on Sunday for EJ’s birthday. “Happy birthday, my @ejjohnson_! You are my great love! I pray that the Lord will have favor on you and bless you abundantly in your 31st year.”
Magic discussed in March his son’s effect on the LGBTQ+ community. He likes EJ’s career and believes EJ is taking command of his career and making his own choices, and he understands what he desires to do.
EJ came out as homosexual in 2013 and went on to feature as the lead in the reality series Rich Kids of Beverly Hills in 2019, where he gained a devoted following.
EJ’s always saying that Dad intends to make sure that everything he does, he enjoys it, and it conveys the right message out there to his fans and the individuals who have always admired and backed him.
The basketball legend has seen his son develop into an encouraging advocate for young people who want to come out. He’s saving a lot of people’s lives that no one knows about, and everyone is immensely proud of him.
Magic continues that many young individuals will call him and ask him, ‘How did you come out?’ or ‘Can you help me?'” I haven’t told my folks,’ and gosh, does he provide wonderful advise.
