Cookie Johnson
If any basketball wife knows how to rise above her husband’s public scandals, it’s Cookie Johnson, the wife of NBA legend Magic Johnson. Cookie’s devotion to Magic was first put to the test in 1991 when she married him, which was also the same year that he publicly announced that he had HIV. Cookie has since remained by Magic’s side for the last 20 years, enduring retirement, financial and health struggles with Magic. If anyone is going to give Vanessa advice about how to the storms of marriage, it’s Cookie.
