Earvin ‘EJ’ Johnson III was spotted relaxing barefoot on a bench while looking out at the harbor in the French Riviera coastal town of Saint-Tropez on Wednesday.
The 33-year-old nepo baby – who shed 180lbs following gastric sleeve surgery in 2014 -flashed his tummy in a white bra-top and yellow sarong while clutching his heels and a tiny purse.
EJ is currently enjoying a lavish family vacation with his famous father, NBA legend Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson Jr.
The 65-year-old retired point guard’s 30-year-old adopted daughter Elisa Johnson shared a cute video on Wednesday of him grooving along to Diana Ross’ 1976 disco hit Love Hangover as they dined al fresco.
On July 2, Magic posted epic drone footage of himself walking a treadmill while aboard a mega-yacht – which reportedly costs $1.4M/week to charter to places like Monaco, Croatia, Portofino, Capri, and Cannes.
‘Happy birthday to my son EJ!’ Johnson gushed on June 4.
