The comments about his wife's beauty must have warmed the heart of Magic as he has often bragged about their relationship. Essence noted that the basketball Hall of Famer had once taken to Instagram to tell his wife that:

"The job you've done as a mother, and now a grandmother, has been an honor to witness and I am so proud to call you my wife..."

The post had come years before the pair celebrated their 60th birthdays in grand style, according to a story by People.
