EJ Johnson flashes tummy in bra-top and sarong in Saint-Tropez on vacation with father Magic Johnson

Daily Mail​17-07-2025
Earvin 'EJ' Johnson III was spotted relaxing barefoot on a bench while looking out at the harbor in the French Riviera coastal town of Saint-Tropez on Wednesday.
The 33-year-old nepo baby - who shed 180lbs following gastric sleeve surgery in 2014 -flashed his tummy in a white bra-top and yellow sarong while clutching his heels and a tiny purse.
EJ is currently enjoying a lavish family vacation with his famous father, NBA legend Earvin 'Magic' Johnson Jr.
The 65-year-old retired point guard's 30-year-old adopted daughter Elisa Johnson shared a cute video on Wednesday of him grooving along to Diana Ross ' 1976 disco hit Love Hangover as they dined al fresco.
On July 2, Magic posted epic drone footage of himself walking a treadmill while aboard a mega-yacht - which reportedly costs $1.4M/week to charter to places like Monaco, Croatia, Portofino, Capri, and Cannes.
'Happy birthday to my son EJ!' Johnson gushed on June 4.
'Thank you for making the world a better place. Your mom and I love you and are very happy that you're making a difference in the lives of so many people!'
In 2022, the billionaire baller told Variety of his son publicly coming out as gay in 2013: 'I had to accept who he was and who he wanted to be. He actually helped me get there because he was so proud. [My wife] Cookie said, "Look in the mirror." I said, "You're right." Because I'm proud of who I am. And he got it from me.'
Magic knows a thing or two about 'coming out' publicly having bravely announced his HIV diagnosis when he retired from the sport in 1991 while his wife Earlitha 'Cookie' Kelly was two months pregnant with EJ (they both tested negative).
Johnson recalled to CBS Mornings in 2021: 'I wanted to make sure that she was going to be okay, the baby was going to be okay, and then I can move forward with making sure I was going to be okay.'
The 6ft9in athlete and the 66-year-old philanthropist will impressively celebrate 34 years of wedded bliss on September 14.
Magic previously fathered 44-year-old son Andre Johnson with babymama Melissa Mitchell.
Cookie will be honored as a 2025 ETAF Champion during The Elizabeth Taylor Night of Compassion: Meeting the Moment gala, which will be held September 18 at The Beverly Hills Hotel where there's a 'purple glam' dress code.

Meanwhile, the Beverly Hills-born socialite's last onscreen gig was portraying Melo in three episodes of Gloria Calderón Kellett's rom-com series With Love, which aired from 2021-2023 on Amazon Prime Video.
EJ also voiced the young version of Michael Collins in the animated sitcom The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, which aired from 2022-2023 on Disney+.
Johnson first found fame starring in Doron Ofir and David Leepson's reality show #RichKids of Beverly Hills, which aired for four seasons spanning 2014-2016 on the E! Network, immediately followed by his short-lived spin-off EJNYC.
Curiously, the flamboyant NYU grad hasn't posted anything on his Instagram account, where he has 680K followers, since 2023.

LeBron James, Nikola Jokić reportedly meet over $5bn upstart to rival NBA

A high-profile meeting last week in France between LeBron James, his business partner Maverick Carter and Nikola Jokić's agent Miško Ražnatović was about plans for a new $5bn international basketball league, according to a report by Front Office Sports, which cited multiple sources familiar with the matter. The proposed league, spearheaded by Carter, would feature six men's and six women's teams that travel together to eight global cities in a touring format. Inspired by LIV Golf and Formula One, the league aims to offer players equity stakes, something NBA rules currently prohibit for active athletes. Ražnatović, a powerful figure in European basketball, posted a photo of the meeting on Instagram over the weekend. The caption, tagged in Saint-Tropez, teased: 'The summer of 2025 is the perfect time to make big plans for the fall of 2026.' That photo fueled speculation about a potential team-up between James and Jokić, but sources confirmed to Front Office Sports the meeting was unrelated to the NBA. This article includes content provided by Instagram. We ask for your permission before anything is loaded, as they may be using cookies and other technologies. To view this content, click 'Allow and continue'. Carter began pitching the league earlier this year, with Bloomberg reporting in January that he is seeking to raise $5bn in funding. Backers already include the Singapore government, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, SC Holdings, UBS and investors such as Skype co-founder Geoff Prentice and former Facebook executive Grady Burnett. Unlike the WNBA-adjacent Unrivaled league, which allows dual participation, Carter's venture is expected to require full-time commitments, effectively ruling out NBA participation unless league rules change. The NBA, meanwhile, is pursuing its own expansion into Europe. Commissioner Adam Silver and deputy commissioner Mark Tatum met with UK prime minister Keir Starmer in London last week to discuss plans for a Europe-based NBA league in partnership with Fiba. As part of that effort, the NBA announced that the Orlando Magic and Memphis Grizzlies will play regular-season games in Berlin and London in January 2026. EuroLeague officials have pushed back against the NBA's expansion talks. 'We said to them, like we said publicly, we don't believe that the new league is something that would help the market,' EuroLeague CEO Paulius Motiejūnas told the Athletic on Tuesday.

Celtic and Rangers ‘enter race to sign Monaco star as Old Firm rivals make contact over transfer swoop'

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CELTIC and Rangers are among a number of clubs being linked with Monaco starlet Kassoum Ouattara. The 20-year-old left back made 12 league appearances last season, which all came before February, and has found regular first-team football at the Ligue 1 club limited.

Foot Mercato says the player, who can also play left midfield, is keen on a project which will allow him maximum game time. L'Equipe says Ouattara, who joined Monaco in 2023, is contracted to the club until 2028 and is valued at around €15million (£13m). The France U21 international has been involved in pre-season and scored against Italian side Torino - one of the other clubs reportedly who have expressed an interest in his signature. French sides Toulouse and Metz, German Bundesliga outfit Augsburg and Eredivisie's PSV have also been rumoured to be keen on the former Amiens youth. Celtic and Rangers are both looking to bolster their left full-back options. Brendan Rodgers' is seeking competition for Kieran Tierney after the departure of Greg Taylor to PAOK. New signing Hayato Inamura can play in that position but Rodgers sees him as more of a development player. Celtic are also monitoring Swedish centre-back Victor Eriksson at Hammarby. The towering 6 ft 4 defender has been capped for his country and is valued at around £2m. Rangers transfer special as Russell Martin eyes THREE wingers, Coady latest and Dowell future And they're expecting to confirm the loan signing of Manchester City defender Jahmai Simpson-Pusey as he heads to Glasgow for a medical on Friday. Meanwhile, at Rangers, new signing Max Aarons, a naturally right-sided player, has been switched to the other side to play left back under new boss Russell Martin. Full-back Ridvan Yilmaz has been deemed surplus to requirements at Ibrox, while Brazilian full-back Jefte faces an uncertain future. Rangers are also hopeful of confirming the announcement of Spurs winger Mikey Moore on loan. Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
