Here are three random things we know about Jonathan Cohen, Mayim Bialik's partner.
First, he's unbelievably good at pronouncing complicated words with an ungodly quantity
of marshmallows stuffed into his mouth, a skill he proved when he and Bialik won an
episode of "Celebrity Game Face" in September 2020.
Second, on the podcast he co-creates with Bialik, Cohen describes himself as a "futurist."
He's also a writer, poet, and producer.
Third, Cohen and Bialik met a decade ago, so this isn't exactly a brand new relationship.
Bialik was still married to Michael Stone when she and Cohen first laid eyes on each
other at a birthday party for a toddler.
The transition from divorced, to single, to in a relationship with Cohen wasn't necessarily
easy for Bialik.
As she admitted to her YouTube followers in 2018,
"The emotional carnage of divorce is always there."
"The Big Bang Theory" star and her ex are on good terms now, and often spend holidays
together with their kids.
When Cohen entered the picture, he joined a blended family, and then blended it some
more.
Like "The Big Bang Theory" alum, Jonathan Cohen is also a parent.
He moved from Toronto, Canada to California in 2018 to be closer to his son.
Cohen marked the occasion on Instagram, writing,
"I’ve done the coast-to-coast drive before but never in this time and never alone.
This is the start of a big adventure.
For the second time in 5 years, I’ve shed the majority of my personal belongings and
headed west (this time to be closer to my son)."
When it comes to Jonathan Cohen and Mayim Bialik's relationship, the couple are true
masters at communicating through social media.
As Bialik once recounted on Instagram, with a specific TikTok filter, Cohen thinks she
looks oddly similar to someone he knows….
You look a lot like my sister there."
As for what Bialik and Cohen talk about, it seems that they're not reciting love sonnets.
Instead, Bialik and Cohen express their mutual affection through the art of trash-talking.
Bialik admitted on the podcast she shares with Cohen,
"Jonathan and I trash talk each other all the time.
I've never dated a person who talks so much trash.
But I totally, like, it's fun [...] for the first time in my life, I'm in a relationship
with someone where it's like brutal."
Finally, Bialik and Cohen's communication problems aren't celebrity-sized.
Instead, they're comfortingly relatable.
"This game is called, 'What Mayim hears.'"
*laughs*
"Okay."
When Bialik asks her boyfriend if he's okay, Cohen says he hears,
"Why won't you open up.
you don't tell me anything about what's happening."
And when Bialik asks, "What should we do tonight?," Cohen thinks she's saying,
"Why don't you treat me like I'm special by showing me how much you care about me by having
elaborate plans of what we should do together?"
The pair created their podcast, "Mayim Bialik's Breakdown," during the COVID-19 epidemic.
Bialik told Forbes,
"To be honest, 2020 was a beast of a year and my partner Jonathan and I have a shared
passion for mental illness and mental illness education [...] The idea [of the podcast is]
to explore all the aspects of mental health that many of us are not told about."
For the record, it was Cohen's idea to start a podcast, while Bialik first pitched the
project as a talk show.
Cohen's life outside of his collaboration with his Bialik also revolves around mental
wellness.
He's been honing his skills in mindfulness and healing for two decades, a skill-set which
no doubt helps him with his responsibilities as co-founder of Lotic.
According to the company's official website,
"Lotic helps users take control of their chronic condition and mental well-being by bringing
coherence to the often fragmented healthcare experience.
With the digital app and health provider portal, Lotic offers a place to be heard and powerful
tools to personalize care."
Cohen is also the founder of The Stories Company, which explores the intersection between wellbeing
and technology.
Last but not least, Mayim Bialik's partner can definitely match her style.
He's got a great pair of hipster glasses, and a very solid sense of humor.
Basically, these two are extremely cute together.
