No one does a better job of a couple’s getaway than NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson. Every year, Johnson and his wife, Cookie, host a group of their favorite people (many of whom are celebrities) on a yacht trip around Europe, and the couple’s most recent trip kicked off in Barcelona.
“We are officially on vacation!! 😁,” the 64-year-old wrote in the caption of several photos of him with several other couples dressed in their best clothes, as well as enjoying meals at fine dining restaurants. “Hanging out at Boca Grande in Barcelona, Spain with my best friends John and Vickie Palmer and Sam and LaTanya Jackson! The food was *chef’s kiss*,” he wrote.
After visiting Barcelona, the next stop on the couple’s summer tour was the party city of Ibiza, where they feasted on seafood and enjoyed the serene views from a yacht, where they were joined by another star couple, Cedric the Entertainer and his wife Lorna.
“Cookie and I spent a beautiful day in Ibiza, Spain today,” he wrote. “We had an amazing lunch at Juan y Andrea in Formentera with our friends John and Vicky Palmer, Sam and LaTanya Jackson, and Cedric the Entertainer and his wife Lorna. I encourage everyone to eat lunch on the beach at Juan y Andrea. We had fresh sea bass and lobster caught that day…it was delicious!”
In 2023, the Johnsons traveled to Europe, and were accompanied on the trip by a host of celebrity friends. In addition to Samuel L. Jackson and his wife, LaTanya Richardson Jackson, and Vicki and John Palmer, they spent time with Judge Greg Mathis and his wife, Linda Mathis, and Michael Jordan and his wife, Yvette Prieto. Johnson also brought his children along for the trip last year, including Andre and his wife, Lisa, his son EJ and daughter Elisa, and his grandchildren, Gigi and Avery.
Highlights of the trip included fine dining prepared by a private chef and a Fourth of July celebration, and we can’t wait to see where the couple ends up next and experience it indirectly through them.
