Magic Johnson, a former LA Lakers point guard, celebrated his 33 years of marriage to his wife, Earlitha “Cookie” Kelly, on September 14. The couple met in college in 1977 and married in 1991 after Magic announced his HIV diagnosis and retirement from basketball. They shared responsibility for their son Earvin III and adopted daughter, Elisa.
The couple met in Lansing, Michigan, where Magic was first dubbed “Magic” at 15. They got married in an intimate ceremony in September 1991, in a small private wedding in Lansing, Michigan. Cookie, who was previously a college basketball player, opened up to Oprah about how Magic broke off.
The couple moved to Beverly Hills with their family in 1991. On September 14, the couple celebrated their anniversary, and the famed retired Los Angeles Lakers player celebrated her 65th trip around the sun on January 20.
Cookie Johnson shared a sentimental video on X (formerly Twitter) on September 14, expressing gratitude for their 32 years of marriage and the 25 years since the announcement that Magic had HIV.
