His participation in the famous reality show "The Rich Kids of Beverly Hills" skyrocketed him to fame, and he capitalized on the heavy push it gave his career. These days, he enjoys confounding his fans with stunning updates he posts via his social media feeds. He recently shared a picture of himself posing on a yacht with his back to a wonderful view. He was the highlight of the shot, dressed in an airy Chanel pareo worn in such a way that it flaunted his glowing legs, which seemed to stretch on forever.

Still, carving out a life for himself outside the long shadow his father casts has not been an easy feat for EJ. See how it affects him still. EJ came out as gay to his family years before the public ever caught wind of it, and they responded with love and support, so by the time the news got out, he was ready to take on the world.
He had been nursing dreams of breaking out from underneath his father, so when it came out that he was gay, he saw it as an opportunity to create his own image. In a sit down with Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show, the proud father spoke extensively about the subject after being asked how he would help a parent through their child's coming out process. He said it was all about letting your children be who they want, loving them regardless, and not trying to decide for them what they would be.

While appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in April , the host talked to Magic about what kind of advice he would give to a parent whose child comes out. Because there are so many people who try to discriminate against them, so they need you to support them.
