Magic Johnson: HIV, Family, and a New Era for His Enterprise
Magic Johnson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
I am Earvin Magic Johnson and it has been an eventful few days both personally and for my career. Just this past week on The Jennifer Hudson Show as reported by BET I got candid about the darkest moment in my life—revealing my HIV diagnosis to my wife Cookie while she was pregnant with our son EJ. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do but Cookie’s strength and our shared faith pulled us through. We dropped to our knees together and prayed and I am forever grateful that both she and our son were healthy. I continue to reflect on how important it has been for me to speak publicly and consistently about living with HIV and fighting the stigma—especially within Black and brown communities.
Business-wise there is significant news from Magic Johnson Enterprises. According to Black Enterprise I have just appointed Alexia Grevious Henderson as our new president. She has led our strategic partnerships and brand initiatives since 2017 and her promotion signals an exciting new chapter for the company. Her leadership is already being celebrated across business circles and her track record in community development and industry partnerships is second to none. I believe Alexia is one of the bright young minds who will take Magic Johnson Enterprises forward in investments sports real estate and outreach to underserved communities.
On the philanthropic front I remain committed to service. The LA Food Bank held a drive-through food distribution at Earvin Magic Johnson Park just days ago, helping families in need across Los Angeles, showing again why that park carries my name and my ongoing commitment to the city.
On social media I have been sharing family moments that have brought me real joy. People magazine spotted a carousel of photos I posted from a family getaway at the Juan y Andrea beach club on Formentera near Ibiza. There I towered over my kids and grandkids, capturing a rare and peaceful moment with those who mean the most to me. Just a few days ago, per the Times of India, Cookie and I enjoyed a relaxed night out with our longtime friends the Coopers, another glimpse into my personal life that I like to share with my fans.
For the basketball community these days have been tinged with sadness following the passing of NBA legend Lenny Wilkens. I took to X and other platforms to pen a moving tribute to Lenny, calling him a champion both on the court and for the Seattle community, sharing prayers for his loved ones and honoring his massive legacy, as reported by the Times of India.
There have also been circulating reports about my mother’s health and status online, some of which remain unconfirmed or speculative, so I will refrain from remarking until more verified information is available.
All told, whether in business, service, family, or honoring those who paved the way, these past few days have reinforced the values of faith, leadership, and community that have always driven me.
