Looks like someone has finally stolen Bryan Johnson\u2019s biometrically optimized heart. On Tuesday, the 48-year-old billionaire biohacker announced he\u2019s dating Kate Tolo, the 30-year-old co-founder of his longevity start-up, Blueprint. \u201cGuys \u2026 I have a girlfriend,\u201d Johnson wrote in a 1,300-word post<\/a> on X that doubles as a great reason to bring back the 280-character limit. \u201cNow I know what you\u2019re thinking \u2026 how is it possible that anyone would want to be with me?\u201d he continued. \u201cI understand where you\u2019re coming from. I think the answer is: her puzzle piece fits mine.\u201d<\/p>\n Johnson said he and Tolo have been in a relationship for three years now but held off on announcing it publicly until they were sure it was the real deal. Apparently, they met a few years earlier, when she started working at his neurotechnology company, Kernel, and the connection was immediately \u201ceffortless\u201d but they initially kept things professional. Things apparently started changing after she dropped by his office one evening and they \u201ctalked for hours,\u201d after which their \u201cafter-hours meet-ups in my office became a daily ritual.\u201d It was around this time that they teamed up to co-found Blueprint, Johnson said, and neither of them \u201cdared take the next step,\u201d not wanting \u201cto imperil our work relationship.\u201d But after going on like this for a while, Johnson said he broached the subject. \u201cUnable to withstand any longer, after a year and a half of unspoken affection, one night I softly floated the balloon of inquiry,\u201d he said. \u201cShe confirmed it was reciprocal.\u201d<\/p>\n In his post, Johnson was effusive about his relationship with Tolo, saying she \u201cfeels like land to me after being adrift and searching for 25 years\u201d and that he trusts her \u201cas much as my mother\u201d \u2014 quite the choice of phrasing. He also heaped praise on her for her role in Blueprint, saying she\u2019s the \u201cunsung hero\u201d of the company. \u201cOur minds have become so intertwined that life feels naked without her,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Talk about a hard launch. Johnson has previously said<\/a> he\u2019s not the easiest person to date owing to his strict anti-aging regime, which includes not eating after 11 a.m.<\/a> and going to bed at 8:30 p.m.<\/a>, so I guess those after-hours conversations had to wrap up pretty early. Anyway, good luck to these two. I guess age really is just a number when you\u2019re trying to live forever.<\/p>\n Stay in touch.<\/p>\n Get the Cut newsletter delivered daily<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
