Magic Johnson Goes Down Memory Lane With Heartfelt Message For Businessman Son’s Special Day

Three-time NBA MVP Magic Johnson has always known how to celebrate, whether after a thunderous dunk or a major life milestone. But this time, his celebration feels even more special. Johnson is honoring his eldest son, Andre Johnson, on his birthday. And fans are touched by the heartfelt message he shared. So, what did the 5x NBA Champion have to say about his firstborn?

While Magic Johnson is one of the most recognizable names in basketball, his eldest son, Andre Johnson has chosen a different path to follow. This decision has largely kept him out of the public eye. Instead of chasing basketball fame, he’s built a career in business and entrepreneurship. Andre built his knowledge and experience by working for his father’s investment firm, Magic Johnson Enterprises. In 2022, he became the executive vice president of business development at SimWin Sports. Beyond business, he also co-hosts the “Please Elaborate” podcast. All of Andre’s achievements never went unnoticed. One thing Magic has always made clear, it’s how proud he is of his son. And his latest Instagram post proved just that.

February 20, 1981, was the day Andre entered Magic’s life. Now, at 44, he’s a father of two, and Magic took a moment to honor him by taking a trip down memory lane. He shared a series of photos. The series started with a heartwarming throwback of Andre as a young child, likely around five or six years old. The post also included three other snapshots of father and son over the years, capturing different moments in different places. But what truly caught fans’ attention wasn’t just the pictures, it was Magic’s words in the caption.

In the comment section, Magic wrote, “Happy Birthday to my oldest son Andre! You’ve made me so proud of the man, husband, father, and entrepreneur that you’ve become. I can’t wait to see how you continue to evolve over this next year of life. I love you!”. As both a player and a person, Magic has always strived to be a better version of himself. But as a father, he is just the best. And with this heartfelt message, he once again proved just that. Magic’s love for his family extends beyond fatherhood. He’s also been a devoted husband for more than three decades

Magic Johnson and his showcase of love to his wife on Valentine’s Day

Magic Johnson has faced many battles in life, but none were tougher than the moment he had to tell his wife, Cookie Johnson about his HIV diagnosis. “It was hard because I loved her so much and I hated to hurt her,” he once said. Fast forward to today, these love birds are still enjoying life together. This September, they’ll celebrate 34 years of marriage. But before that, they took a moment to celebrate their love on Valentine’s Day.

Magic and Cookie’s love story began back in the ’70s at Michigan State University, where they met as college sweethearts. From the start, Magic knew she was the one. And on Valentine’s Day, he made sure the world knew it too.

Taking to Instagram, the five-time NBA champion posted a heartfelt tribute to his wife. “Through every season of life, you’ve been my greatest blessing. After 40+ years, I’m still in awe of you and thank God every day that I get to call you mine. To my love Cookie, Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️”

After all these years, their love story continues to inspire all those couples out there. From celebrating his son’s success to cherishing his wife’s love, Magic Johnson continues to show that his biggest victories in life happen off the court!
