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

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!

Eyewear brand Elisa Johnson expands into jewelry
Four years after launching her brand, Johnson now works with a small team and produces her collections in Hong Kong. In addition to the 200 styles she offers, she notably collaborated last year with model Lori Harvey on a capsule collection. At a Los Angeles event on June 10, Johnson presented a new development for her brand with the launch of her first jewelry line at the Grove shopping center in Los Angeles. Her father shared the news on his Instagram account: "I am so incredibly proud of my beautiful daughter. She just launched Elisa Johnson jewelry, available now." 'Designed with intention, this eight-piece earring collection is a study in contrast where simplicity meets statement,' said Johnson, on her website. 'Inspired by the symbols and rhythm of astrology, the pieces carry subtle references to the stars while staying grounded in modern minimalism.' Positioned as an affordable brand, Elisa Johnson's earring line offers prices ranging from $87 to $140. This is similar to its low-priced sunglasses line, which ranges from $87 to $130. While the brand does not currently have its own stores, it is distributed through several department stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Kith, and is available online through Shopbop, Revolve, and Dissh. One showroom is also open for fittings in Los Angeles.

Eyewear brand Elisa Johnson expands into jewelry
Her name is known worldwide. Elisa Johnson, daughter of legendary basketball player Magic Johnson, and sister to reality star EJ Johnson, is now trying to make a name for herself through her eponymous sunglasses brand. A student at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), Johnson launched her sunglasses brand in 2021 and designed the first models herself, including the Jane frame, which would become her best-seller a few months later. With investment from her father, Magic Johnson, the Elisa Johnson sunglass brand first launched with a timeless and one-of-a-kind eyewear collection that fuses classic, street, and luxury styles. 'Before my dad agreed to invest – he told me 'no' at first – I was selling my personal handbags and such to have the cache to produce samples. Yes, I had a different level of support than most, but I still wanted to demonstrate that I could make things shake on my own," said Johnson in an interview with CFDA. The young woman, now 30 years old, who confides having suffered from chronic anxiety, faced with the media pressure weighing on her family, recognizes having 'taken the extra step to pursue an education and obtain a degree in a field that I was truly interested in because I didn't just want your to be another famous person's daughter who came out with some arbitrary line or something.'
