Mike Johnson Shares Sweet Childhood Photos to Celebrate His 33rd Birthday
Birthday boy! To celebrate turning 33, Mike Johnson headed over to Instagram on Tuesday to share sweet childhood photos and an inspiring message about how he’s grown into the person he is today.
“We’ve come a long way!” the beloved Bachelor Nation star began. “Honestly can’t believe I’m 33 now!”
He continued, “I’m still jumping up and down like a kid, still screaming at the top of my lungs pretty much daily, still NO WHERE NEAR done learning and still have this unwavering confidence/faith that things will go in my favor. Seems at times the more we age, the less inclined we are to do certain things… not with me or my ppl, we’re here for the ride, the laughs, the tears, the overcoming of fears and everything in between!”
Mike — who posted a collection of throwback pics, including several of him playing sports as a kid — concluded his post by writing, “Cheers to living a purposeful, fulfilling life whatever the hell we define that as, as individuals!”

Several notable “Bachelor” and “Bachelorette” alums took to Mike’s comments section, sending the “Make the Love You Want” author their best wishes.
“Happy bday! Boy was an athlete!” wrote former NFL player Clay Harbor, while Mike’s close buddy Bryan Abasolo commented, “Happy Birthday Brother! Have a great one!”
Added Tammy Ly, “Happy birthday Mike!!”
Days before completing another trip around the sun, Mike — who is still single after appearing on Season 15 of “The Bachelorette” and Season 6 of “Bachelor in Paradise” — spoke about the kind of woman he’s looking for at this stage in his life. As the handsome U.S. Air Force veteran told former “Bachelor” contestants Sydney Lotuaco and Nicole Lopez-Alvar for their “Black Beans and Rice” podcast, being “well-rounded” is key to winning his heart.
"[My roommate] Connor [Saeli] and I were talking about one lady in particular. And this individual lady, she was cute. But more than her looks, she is going to school. I forgot what her degree path is in. But then she’s also into fitness and she also has a personality,” he explained. “And she’s also into outdoor stuff. We found her to be attractive just based on her personality.”
Here’s to hoping you meet the “well-rounded” girl of your dreams, Mike. Happy birthday!
