In August 2019, Lisa shared pictures and videos of Gigi performing at the Youth Academy of Dramatic Arts Retreat, again showing how talented she is.

Magic is also proud of his granddaughter. In 2018, the basketball legend shared pictures of Lisa and her father's dance as the cute father-daughter duo combined for a waltz dance for her 4th grade Christmas program.

Magic is the father of three children. He shares two children, Earvin "EJ" and Elisa, with his wife, Cookie. Magic and Cookie adopted Elisa in 1995 when she was just an infant. The NBA icon shares Gigi's father, Andre, with his former girlfriend, Melissa Mitchell.

Of all Magic's children, Andre has stayed out of the public eye. His mom raised him as a kid but he maintains a strong bond with his dad, often spending time with him on vacations.

Magic's second son, EJ, came out as gay in 2013 and had the support of his parents when he did, with the former basketballer once saying it was important for parents to love their children no matter who they are or what they decide to do.

Meanwhile, Magic found himself in the news in 2017 when a woman, Renee Perkins, claimed he is the father of her son, Chauncey. The woman claimed the basketball player left her after she told him of her son's paternity.

Perkins also revealed one of the former basketballer's advisors tried to force her to abort the baby. Neither Magic nor his representatives responded to the woman's claims when tabloids requested for their comments.
