Meanwhile, the second snapshot shows Elisha and his mom striking a pose in front of a banner showing a hairy palm. Besides giving the post more than a thousand likes, fans also commented on how similar Cookie and EJ look.

The similarity between the pair shouldn't be so surprising as Cookie is the biological mother of the reality star.

However, Andre is the product of Magic's relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Melissa Mitchell, as revealed by I Love Old School Music. As disclosed in the publication, Andre was born in 1981, 10 years before Cookie and Magic got married.

The circumstances surrounding Andre's birth did nothing to stop the close bond between him and his father. As it appears, the Johnsons are a perfectly blended family, even though the details of Andre's personal life are scarce.

The same doesn't apply to EJ, who is a familiar face both on-and-off- screen. The 27-year-old became openly gay after he came out in 2013, according to Heavy.

A media outlet released footage of the then 20-year-old holding hands with his best friend, Alessandro Monetti. The report caused EJ to come clean about his sexuality. Luckily, the confession and his sexuality did nothing to ruin his relationship with his father.

EJ gained even more notoriety after he was cast in the first season of E! 's "Rich Kids of Beverly Hills" as detailed by Nicki Swift.

He went on to appear on the show for four years before appearing on "Fashion Police" and working as a special correspondent for red carpet events. Eventually, the socialite landed a spin-off reality show called "EJNYC" on E!

Unfortunately, the show lasted only six episodes as EJ revealed that he was unhappy with the show's portrayal of his life.

Life after the end of the show has the star considering a career in fashion as Nicki Swift adds.
