US millionaire Bryan Johnson stuns internet with viral tribute to Aussie girlfriend
A US Millionaire known for his interest in biohacking, is going viral after posting a tribute to younger Aussie girlfriend
US Millionaire Bryan Johnson, known for being a devoted biohacker, is going viral after posting a tribute to his much younger Aussie girlfriend that has stunned the internet.
The 48-year-old tech entrepreneur, estimated to be worth over $500 million, has gained further notoriety for his anti-ageing efforts.
He has now announced that he is dating Kate Tolo, a 30-year-old Australian woman who works closely with him at Blue Print, a biohacking business.
In a lengthy post, Mr Johnson, a father of three, who has been divorced since the 80s, explained that he feels he has finally found the one.
“Guys … I have a girlfriend,” he wrote.
“Now I know what you’re thinking … how is it possible that anyone would want to be with me? I understand where you’re coming from. I think the answer is: her puzzle piece fits mine.”
He went on to explain that after his marriage fell apart, and then getting into a relationship naively that failed and ended in litigation, he often wondered if he’d ever be able to trust someone again.
“By the time I was 44, I started reconciling with the possibility of a life without partnership,” he admitted.
The millionaire then described meeting Tolo, 18 years his junior, through his company, Kernel, and feeling an instant connection.
“The puzzle piece fit was immediate, as immediate as either of us had ever experienced. Yet we maintained our professional boundaries. When we worked on our first project together, the back and forth was effortless,” he said.
“Kate was luminescent. When I saw her about the office, butterflies fluttered in my stomach. Each day she’d show up wearing some unexpected combination of colours, textures, styles and accessories. Always tasteful, playful and interesting.
“She didn’t chase fancy brands. Most of her clothing was from the thrift store. It wasn’t how she looked but how her mind worked: original, eccentric, entirely her own. She was art.”
Mr Johnson explained that the pair went on to create Project Blueprint together and have been quietly dating for three years.
The millionaire admitted that working together and starting a relationship can be tricky, and at times, he wondered if they’d make it, but in the last year, he declared they’ve found their flow.
“I trust Kate as much as my mother. She knows how to scaffold trust,” he said.
“I’ve wanted this my entire life and impatiently waited 25 years for it to arrive. It’s better than anything I imagined.”
Mr Johnson’s effusive post has quickly gone viral with over 16 million views on X alone, and the reaction is overwhelmingly positive.
People called it sweet, romantic, and inspiring, and a lot of social media users were just happy to see a man speak so highly of his partner.
“Read the whole thing, man, amazing story, and congrats. Love at 40 is rare,” one praised.
“I’m so glad you found true love. You look really cute and happy together,” one wrote.
“I’m glad you didn’t give up,” another said.
“When I say hard launch this is what I mean,” one joked.
“Find a partner that writes essays about you like Bryan writes about his girlfriend,” another advised.
“I haven’t heard a man talk about a woman like this in a long time. Godbless,” one praised.
Mr Johnson, who sold his company, Braintree, to PayPal for $800 million in 2013 and has also found success with his neurotechnology company, Kernel, is well known for his anti-ageing method, the ‘Project Blueprint’.
On the official website, he explains that, after developing “poor health habits” as both a kid and an adult due to the high-pressure lifestyle of being an entrepreneur, he became invested in studying and improving his biomarkers.
The 48-year-old now claims to be the “healthiest person on the planet” and explained that he starts every morning at 5am and is in bed by 8.30pm.
Mr Johnson is also an advocate for incorporating breathing exercises and meditation into daily life.
He’s a fan of red light therapy and does a 90-minute workout every day, and also follows a strict vegan diet.
