She’s the love of his life — and he doesn’t plan on dying!
The anti-aging mogul who once declared himself an “impossible partner” due to his ultra-rigid fitness regime and bonkers goal of living forever has finally found a soulmate, he revealed in a public love letter.
Biohacker Bryan Johnson, 48 — whose wildly inflexible routine includes sleeping alone, not eating after 11 a.m. and monitoring his own erections — revealed Tuesday he’s in a long-term relationship with Kate Tolo, the co-founder of his longevity startup, Blueprint.
Biohacker Bryan Johnson and Kate Tolo have been in a relationship for three years. X/bryan_johnson“At this point, Kate and I have nearly become one person,” Johnson wrote in a lengthy post on X, calling their bond an instant “puzzle piece fit.”
“Kate is soft spoken, self-deprecating and understated. These attributes cloak her ferocious ambition, piercing intellect, and delightful creativity,” he gushed. “Give her five minutes and she will reframe your world.”
He called Tolo, 30, the “unsung hero” of his biohacking efforts, writing that “our minds have become so intertwined that life feels naked without her.”
“I trust Kate as much as my mother,” he added. “I’ve wanted this my entire life.”
The head-over-heels honcho first crossed paths with Tolo when she joined his brain-interface company, Kernel, five years ago, he said.
He remembers her first impression as “luminescent” and said that, over time, their professional spark turned romantic.
The pair made their relationship official three years ago but kept it under wraps while they figured out whether it was real love or just a fleeting fling.

Johnson himself has admitted he’s not the easiest guy to fall for — once telling Time magazine he’s an “impossible partner” and admitting there are “10 reasons why [women] will literally hate me.”
At the top of the list is his inflexible sleep routine. The biohacker values shut-eye so much, he once called getting fewer than eight hours a night an “act of violence.”
He wakes up at 5 a.m. and hits the hay by 8:30 p.m. every night — no exceptions — and refuses to sleep in a bed with anyone else.
“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 two years ago.
“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.
Romantic dinners aren’t on the table, either, because his vegan final meal of the day is served no later than 11:30 a.m., as part of his age-reversal fasting experiment.
Tolo also has to be on board with his wacky and expensive 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.”
Johnson also performs more than 100 rituals daily to optimize his body’s “ideal state,” including swallowing a staggering 111 pills a day, bathing his body in LED light, and sitting on an electromagnetic device that he believes will strengthen his pelvic floor.
While he sleeps, he monitors his nighttime erections with a gadget he used as evidence that he has the penis of a 22 year old.
Earlier this year, Johnson shared data comparing the father and son’s “nighttime erection data.”
Johnson and Tolo have known each other for more than five years. X/bryan_johnson“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.”
In September 2023, Johnson proclaimed that the ultimate goal of all of his age-defying antics is simply, “Don’t die,” he told the Guardian.
In his X post Tuesday, Johnson admitted his relationship with Tolo hasn’t 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.”
“So glad you didn’t give up,” he said. “I love you.”
