Magic Johnson’s Son EJ Says He Doesn’t Date Gay Men — Claims He “Turns” Straight Guys Instead

When you’re the stylish heir to one of the biggest fortunes in sports history, apparently the dating pool works a little differently.

EJ Johnson, the flamboyant son of NBA legend Magic Johnson, is turning heads online after revealing that despite being openly gay, he doesn’t actually prefer to date men who identify as gay.

Yes… you read that correctly.

According to EJ, he’s simply not interested in men who are already part of the LGBTQ dating scene. Instead, the 6-foot-6 reality star says he tends to attract men who previously identified as straight.

And he insists it’s not about money either.

EJ Says It’s Not About The Money

Now let’s be honest. When people hear “Magic Johnson’s billionaire heir,” they automatically assume that romance might involve a little… financial encouragement.

But EJ says that’s not how he operates.

According to him, the appeal has more to do with his larger-than-life presence.

EJ joked that there’s just something about his towering 6’6” frame and confident personality that makes certain men reconsider their orientation.

In his words, some guys who initially identify as straight end up changing their minds after spending time with him.

That’s one way to describe it.

Dating Across The Spectrum

Media Take Out learned that EJ’s dating life has never been limited to one specific type. Sources say he’s dated men from a wide range of backgrounds and ethnicities.

But one thing appears consistent: EJ prefers men who don’t publicly identify as gay when the relationship begins.

Of course, the internet had plenty to say about that.

Some fans joked that EJ has a “conversion program,” while others said the situation probably says more about the men involved than EJ himself.

Either way, social media is definitely entertained.

Sibling Rivalry… Over The Same Men?

And if you think EJ’s dating stories stop there, think again.

The reality star also revealed that he and his sister sometimes end up interested in the same men.

Yes, you heard that right.

According to EJ, there have been situations where both siblings were drawn to the same guy — and he claims that more often than not, he ends up winning the competition.

Family dinners must get interesting.

Living Large In The Johnson Empire

EJ Johnson has been in the spotlight for years, first gaining fame on the reality show Rich Kids of Beverly Hills and later becoming a fashion personality and TV host.

As the son of Magic Johnson, whose business empire spans sports, real estate, and entertainment, EJ grew up in a world of luxury and celebrity connections.

But while the fortune may open doors, EJ seems perfectly happy creating headlines with his personality alone.

And if his dating philosophy is any indication, the man clearly enjoys keeping things… unpredictable.

One thing’s for sure: in EJ Johnson’s world, the rules of romance are anything but traditional.
