Chris Olsen: Social Media Star and TikTok Viral Sensation

Chris Olsen gained widespread recognition as a social media sensation for his popular TikTok series in which he surprises celebrities with coffee.

Chris Olsen, a social media sensation, was crowned the Sexiest Man of 2020 by People Magazine on TikTok. With 12.8 million followers and 1.3 billion likes on the popular video platform, his uploads regularly reach millions of views as he documents his daily life.

The influencer, who is a member of the LGBTQ+ community, was in a long-term relationship with fellow influencer Ian Paget before the couple went their separate ways in 2022.

What is the age of Chris Olsen?

Chris, who was born in Washington DC, USA in 1997, is currently 26 years old – and he definitely doesn’t look a day over it. Therefore, when inquisitive fans stumbled upon information on Wikipedia stating that he was 70 in late 2021, it caused quite a bit of surprise and bewilderment.

Contrary to popular belief, Olsen was not the one who discovered the Fountain of Youth. It appears that a Wikipedia editor mistakenly confused the TikToker with a 1970s child actor.

Olsen responded to the social media confusion with a lighthearted TikTok video. This incident only increased his number of followers and created a comical moment that many fans still remember fondly.

Chris once again made headlines on December 22 when his birthday festivities, which he shared with Meghan Trainor and Joshua Bassett (both also born in December), went viral on TikTok.

The trio decided to celebrate in a unique way by taking a shopping trip to Target. Additionally, Trainor’s son had a viral TikTok where he can be heard saying Chris’ name.

Who is Chris Olsen currently in a relationship with?

On October 1, 2023, Olsen publicly announced that he and Patrick Johnson were in a romantic relationship, confirming weeks of speculation about his budding romance.

Despite not posting anything together since Halloween, fans have been speculating about the couple’s relationship status. However, as of May 2024, both individuals still follow each other on Instagram.

The video that revealed Olsen and Johnson’s relationship started in the same way as any of Olsen’s well-known coffee-delivering videos. It featured a screenshot of a text exchange between Olsen and Johnson, where Olsen confirms that Johnson is his boyfriend and requests coffee. The video then shows Olsen flying from New York City to Los Angeles to surprise Johnson with a cup of coffee.

The announcement of his new relationship status was made weeks ago on September 15 through a short TikTok video in which he is seen leaning against his new partner while lip-synching to a popular TikTok trend wherein someone poses the questions, “Who makes you laugh the hardest?”and “Who is the most beautiful person you know?”His response to both was, “My boyfriend.”

Somehow, they managed to discover Patrick Johnson’s TikTok profile, where he had shared a similar video as Chris but with reversed roles.
In Patrick’s version, he adorably rests his head on someone’s shoulder while answering the same questions.
