EJ Johnson: Dating Straight Men, Bold Fashion

0:00This is entertainment and celebrity news today, every story every day. E.J. Johnson, the 33-year-old son of NBA legend Magic Johnson, shared a surprising take on his dating life during a recent podcast appearance. He explained that even though he's gay, he doesn't date other gay men and isn't attracted to them. Instead, he finds himself competing with women for the attention of straight guys. Johnson pointed out that his feminine style plays a big role in this dynamic. He avoids gay clubs and events because the men he's drawn to hang out in straight spaces. It's always been that way for him, but it's even more noticeable now with his bolder fashion choices. His dad, Magic, had a tough time at first adjusting to E.J. sexuality. Growing up around sports, Magic expected his son to follow a more traditional path, but he eventually came around after a heartfelt visit to E.J.'s dorm in New York. That moment sealed their strong bond. These days, Magic walks red carpets with his son and praises his activism in the LGBTQ community.

Beyond reality TV fame, he's also voicing a character on the Disney Plus show, The Proud Family, Louder and Prouder. A message from our sponsor supports today's story. It looks like a pillow.
