MAGIC AND COOKIE JOHNSON – 29 YEARS

Magic Johnson was born on August 14, 1959. He is a former Professional basketball player in the United States and is often considered the best point guard of all time and one of the greatest players in NBA history. Johnson retired abruptly in 1991 after announcing he was infected with HIV but returned to play in the 1992 All-Star game. Magic and Cookie Johnson almost gave up their love but remained to be on each other’s side no matter what.

The two have been married for 29 years and are blessed with two kids. When everyone thought they have a lovely relationship, nobody knows that they briefly separated over a decade ago. In her memoir and interview with Oprah Winfrey, Cookie revealed that their marriage almost ended in 2001. At the time, they secretly separated for two weeks without the media and tabloids’ knowledge. However, instead of asking the help of their attorneys, they vowed to work on their marriage and be together for each other.
