The most recent visit on Magic Johnson’s European vacation included a romantic interlude.
The 63-year-old retired NBA player has been posting photos and videos of his summer trips with his wife, Cookie Johnson, on social media for the past few days. They have visited Italy, had their children visit them, and attended a yacht party with a masquerade theme.
Johnson surprised his wife of more than 30 years with a photoshoot in Santorini when they arrived in Greece. In an Instagram post on Tuesday, he showed off some of the outdoor shoot’s preparations and marveled over his wife’s outfit.
He captioned the shot, “Today I surprised my beautiful wife Cookie and her girlfriends Gina, Lita, and Tamiko with a photo shoot with the famous Flying Dresses Santorini!” “Cookie, my wife, is radiant in her gold frock. ”
Cookie was photographed both alone and with her friends, all of whom wore matching pastel-colored outfits. They had a “incredible” steak meal at the Adronis Arcadia Hotel during their stay on the Mediterranean island.
In another Instagram post laden with videos of the picturesque tourist site, the NBA Hall of Famer wrote, “Santorini is absolutely beautiful!” Dinner at Beefbar at Hotel Andronis Arcadia, widely regarded as one of the world’s finest steakhouses, capped off a fantastic day.
Johnson wore a blue Gucci shirt, white slacks, and white sneakers to his dinner date. Cookie wore a long brown dress with mule sandals with heels and a white Louis Vuitton bag.
Cookie always manages to look so pressed on vacation,” one of Johnson’s 3.5 million Instagram followers gushed in the comments section. Social media user “Thanks for sharing, happy to see you and your wife enjoying your best years!!” congratulated the basketball player for posting images from the trip.
In September, while on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the ex-athlete revealed that he had known he wanted to marry his now-wife ever since their first meeting at a college party.
In 2021, he and his wife will have been married for 30 years, and he plans to commemorate the occasion with an Instagram post.
“Cookie, our 30 year marriage has been the best time of my life,” he wrote. “I’ve known you were the one for me since the moment I first lay eyes on you in 1978. God is so good to me for sending you into my life. Thanks to you, I’m a better man, family man, provider, and entrepreneur.
