Bryan Johnson is battling Father Time — but Cupid got to him first.
The anti-aging mogul revealed Tuesday that he’s been quietly coupled up for years with Kate Tolo, the co-founder of his longevity startup, Blueprint.
“At this point, Kate and I have nearly become one person,” Johnson, 48, gushed in a lengthy post shared on Instagram and X, calling their bond an instant “puzzle piece fit.”
Johnson first crossed paths with Tolo, 30, when she joined his brain-interface company Kernel. He remembers her as “luminescent,” and said that over time their professional rapport slowly turned romantic.
They made it official three years ago, but kept their love story under wraps while they figured out whether it was built to last or just a fleeting fling.
After all, dating Johnson isn’t easy. The self-proclaimed “impossible partner” once told Time there are at least “10 reasons why [women] will literally hate me” — even if he claims to have the penis of a 22-year-old.
At the top of the list is sleep. The biohacker has said that getting fewer than eight hours of shut-eye each night is an “act of violence.”
Johnson wakes up at 5 a.m and hits the hay by 8:30 p.m. every night — no exceptions.
And don’t even think about cuddling up with him in bed. Johnson insists on sleeping alone.
“Trying to negotiate with another person their bedtime [and] their sleep hygiene is really difficult,” he told Steven Bartlett on the Diary of a CEO podcast.
“Wake events are very costly — once you get woken up, going back to sleep is very hard — so it’s just extremely challenging when you’ve got to coordinate with another human,” he explained.
Even after his full eight hours, don’t expect morning banter over coffee.
“I don’t do small talk,” Johnson told Bartlett. “My son and I have a protocol in the house where there’s no exchange of like, ‘Good morning. How are you?’”
Those simple pleasantries, he said, can derail the four or five hours he spends “deep in thought” every morning.
But don’t picture him lounging in a robe, lost in a daydream.
Johnson claims he performs more than 100 different rituals daily to optimize his body’s “ideal state.” That includes swallowing a staggering 111 pills a day and eating all of his plant-based meals before noon. Romantic dinners? Out of the question when his dinner is served at 11:30 a.m.
Tolo also has to be on board with his sometimes outrageous biohacks, which cost him at least $2 million a year.
In 2021, Johnson made headlines for infusing himself with his then-17-year-old son’s blood every month, hoping to slow the aging process. He also pumped his own plasma into his 70-year-old father to boost his declining physical and cognitive health.
But he’s since stopped using his son, Talmage, as a personal “blood boy,” saying there were “no benefits detected.”
That wasn’t the only time Talmage, has been pulled into the biohacking spotlight. Earlier this year, Johnson shared data comparing the father and son’s “nighttime erection data.”
“His duration is two minutes longer than mine,” Johnson wrote on X, noting that the measurements also included the number of episodes, quality of erection and sleep efficiency. “Raise children to stand tall, be firm, and be upright.”
At least Tolo knew what she was signing up for.
She’s been part of Johnson’s anti-aging journey from the start, persuading him to share his regimen online and coining the name “Project Blueprint.”
“Most people… assume she’s my assistant,” he wrote. “It’s such a loss because people are looking for what she has to offer.”
Johnson called Tolo the “unsung hero” of his biohacking efforts, writing that “our minds have become so intertwined that life feels naked without her.
Still, he admitted that their relationship always been easy.
“I’m a 48-year-old American, raised Mormon, with three children. She’s a 30-year-old Bosnian-Australian-American. It took time to bridge our worlds,” Johnson wrote. “There have been many times where we didn’t know if we’d make it.”
Fortunately for the couple, Johnson said they’ve found their rhythm over the past year.
“I trust Kate as much as my mother,” he wrote. “I’ve wanted this my entire life and impatiently waited 25 years for it to arrive. It’s better than anything I imagined.”
“I love you,” Tolo wrote in the comments of the post, adding, “So glad you didn’t give up.”
