While Gigi Johnson is following her illustrious father into sports, she's doing it in a different category. The same can't be said of the Lakers great's other children who have taken a totally different approach in their careers.
His first son Andre, who has kept a relatively low profile, is involved in the entertainment industry. His other son from his wife Cookie, Earvin "EJ" Johnson isn't keeping a low profile like his elder brother as he is well known for his role in the Rich Kids of Beverley Hills. Meanwhile, adopted daughter Elisa Johnson is involved with the Magic Johnson Foundation.
Magic Johnson's son heartfelt birthday wishes for daughter Gigi Johnson
Gigi Johnson turned 16th in December 2024 and her dad, Andre Johnson posted a heartfelt message on his Instagram where he prayed for her and wished her all of life's great blessings.
"Happy 16th Birthday Babygirl. I am so proud of you and love who you are...You are one of my life's biggest blessings and I am beyond grateful to God for you."
Andre opted not to follow in Magic Johnson's basketball footsteps despite playing in high school. He played for Waverly High School and Everett High, wherein he averaged 12 points and six assists per game.
Instead of going pro like his dad, he focused on his education and business pursuits. He joined his father's company as an executive vice president, a move announced on Instagram on November 29, 2023. Alongside a role in his father's company, he worked as a producer for Hydra Entertainment and held positions at the Virtual Reality Company and Mythical Games
He is married to Lisa and they have two children, Gigi and Avery Johnson. He has been sharing details about his family with more than 21,000 followers on his platforms.
