“Cooks you are such a beautiful role model and inspiration to ME and everyone who knows you. You are truly what the bible says a virtuous woman is.

Way back in 2017, Cookie had been spotted by The Jasmine Brand at Simone’s 47th birthday bash.

Later in 2019, Cookie and her husband, Magic Johnson, had hosted LL Cool J and Simone as the latter celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary.

According to Hello Beautiful, the couple had set sail on a luxury yacht while surrounded by fellow couples.

Subsequently, Simone had taken to social media to thank Cookie and her man for treating them to a good time.

Meanwhile, Cookie and Magic had celebrated their 25-year marital milestone in September 2016 with a big party and trip to Europe, per a Heavy report.

The duo, who share two kids, have repeatedly mentioned that they are “soulmates” despite the trauma of finding out that Magic is HIV positive.

Fans share the belief that Cookie’s decision to stay by her man’s side, amid the HIV drama, made her “one of the best decisions” Magic ever made.
