Magic Johnson took to Instagram on Thursday to celebrate a momentous occasion with his wife, Cookie Johnson. The former NBA player shared a heartwarming video montage of precious moments they have shared over the years, and captioned it with an emotional message. Magic expressed joy as he celebrated his 32nd wedding anniversary with Cookie, referring to it as a “very special anniversary”. The touching video captured the love and affection that the couple shares, and serves as a reminder of their enduring commitment to each other.
Subsequently, Magic quoted a verse from Matthew 19:6 which expresses that the union of two individuals in marriage forms one flesh. He expressed his joy in the longevity of their love which aligns with the biblical principle of not letting anyone separate what God has joined together. In a heartfelt letter, the former Laker athlete conveyed his appreciation for his wife’s unwavering love and daily encouragement. Magic attributed his motivation to be the best version of himself to Cookie’s devotion to Christ, family, and compassion.

In 1978, the love story between magic and Cookie began during their time as students at Michigan State University. Eventually, they became a couple and tied the knot on September 14, 1999, in Lansing, Michigan, where magic grew up. According to magic, his wife and family are his main motivation for working hard and living life to the fullest. Recently, they enjoyed their yearly European trip and magic praised the staff, chefs, and yacht for making it their best vacation yet. They chronicled their adventures starting from July 5 while dining at Michelangelo in Antibes, France. In 2013, they had the pleasure of hosting famous guests like Michael Jordan, Samuel L. Jackson, and Judge Greg Mathis onboard their yacht.
The Lemon Tree Restaurant, also known as Da Paolino Ristorante, in Capri, Italy, served us an incredible meal tonight. I even had the pleasure of spending time with some well-known individuals like Michael Jordan and his wife Yvette, Sam and LaTanya Jackson, Judge Greg and Linda Mathis, John and Vicki Palmer, and many others. This experience was truly unforgettable! Johnson’s letter, dated July 12th, serves as a great reminder of this unforgettable evening.
In August, magic expressed their appreciation to the loved ones who accompanied them on their 2023 trip by saying, “Cookie and I are grateful for our dear friends who joined us!” We had a great time laughing, engaging in interesting conversations, and savoring delicious food. Now that we have some time alone, I plan to spend it with my partner, going on romantic dates, enjoying each other’s company, and watching numerous movies.
The final portion of their European vacation was spent in Croatia, where they could relax and unwind. According to an Instagram post, magic and Cookie had a lovely evening at Nautika Restaurant in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The claim is based on a post that they shared on their personal account.
