[Photos] Magic Johnson’s Son EJ, Stunts For His Miami Birthday With Champagne & Designer Bags

It was a celebratory time for Magic Johnson’s eldest son, EJ (real name Earvin Johnson III), as he celebrated his 21st birthday in Miami.

Now of legal drinking age, EJ and his friends celebrated in Miami with champagne in the club and poolside. His father even gifted him with an expensive Hermes bag as a birthday gift.

A few months ago, the media caught wind that EJ was openly gay. In a YouTube interview, EJ explained the experience:

I always wanted to come into the spotlight. I always had dreams and plans of doing my own thing and creating my own image, so it came a little sooner than I thought it would but this is still something I knew I would be going through and would have to experience.

And as expected, he stated that the public’s reaction has been mixed:

It’s almost like they’re attacking me for being me and so to that I can only say, ‘Well, I can only be myself, so I don’t know really what you want me to do. I am very, very, very blessed to have the family that I do. My parents have always been super supportive. My sister and I have always been really close and she’s been really supportive as with my brother. When it was time to come out, I was, obviously, scared as most people are. After I got all the love and support from my family then I knew I could go out and conquer the world, I guess.
