"Cookie and I are very excited to be at the World Series to cheer on our @Dodgers in Arlington, TX!!"
The couple has been together for more than two decades and is still going strong. For the legendary NBA retiree, marrying Cookie was one of the best decisions he ever made.
When they celebrated their 28th-anniversary last year in September, the couple took their fans down memory lane with a montage of pictures that captured some of the adorable moments they shared over the years.
Their greatest challenge came not long after their marriage when Magic was diagnosed with HIV.
Magic shared both old and recent photos featuring himself and Cookie, and in his caption, he gave her a shoutout, showering her with praises and revealing that he made his decision to marry her just three months after they started dating.
Cookie also shared retro photos of them both, confessing her love for her famous husband and tagging him as the "ultimate romantic." Among the images were shots from their wedding in 1991.
It saw the pair striking a happy pose while dressed in their wedding attire. Their love shone through in the photo, and looking at the couple now, it is evident the love still burns bright.
Offline, the adorable couple commemorated their anniversary with a sumptuous dinner at the Tao restaurant located in Los Angeles. They were accompanied by Holly Robinson Peete and her partner, Rodney Peete and Dave Winfield, and his wife, Tonya Winfield.
Magic and his wife initially met in 1977 while they were still college freshmen. They share two kids and have had their fair share of ups and downs.
Their greatest challenge came not long after their marriage when Magic was diagnosed with HIV. At the time, Cookie had been pregnant with their son, EJ, and had been terrified her husband would die and she and her son would get infected.
Cookie would later detail how the diagnosis changed their lives forever in a book titled, "Believing in Magic." The book features the tale behind her marriage, losing their way, and finally finding a way they never imagined
