To celebrate Cookie Johnson’s 65th birthday, Magic Johnson wrote a touching message and posted it online. In an Instagram post, Johnson included a video montage with the caption:

“Happy Birthday to my forever love, my favor with God, and my wife, Cookie Johnson!”

According to Proverbs 31:10, a man’s best asset is his wife, and I am fortunate to have the best of them. I am thankful for the opportunity to share this life with you since you are an exquisite representation of God’s love and light.

When Magic Johnson announced his diagnosis and retired from the NBA in 1991, Cookie and Magic’s story started in the midst of hardship. Cookie’s steadfast encouragement throughout this difficult period demonstrated the depth of their relationship, which has since continued for more than three decades.
