Griffin Johnson, a prominent figure in the social media landscape, particularly known for his rise to fame on TikTok and as a member of the Sway House, has had his romantic life frequently in the public eye. His most notable and publicly scrutinized relationship was with fellow TikTok sensation Dixie D'Amelio, a connection that captivated millions of followers and sparked considerable online drama. Beyond this high-profile pairing, Johnson has largely maintained a private stance on his romantic endeavors, though he has addressed occasional speculation.

Johnson's romantic journey began gaining significant public attention in early 2020 when he became closely associated with Dixie D'Amelio. Their relationship blossomed within the interconnected world of TikTok content houses, with D'Amelio being a member of the Hype House and Johnson part of the Sway House. The two frequently collaborated on videos, showcasing their chemistry and fueling speculation among their massive fan bases.

The couple, affectionately dubbed "Grixie" by their fans, officially confirmed their relationship in June 2020. Their interactions were highly visible across social media platforms, with shared posts and public appearances solidifying their status as a TikTok power couple. This period was marked by intense fan engagement and constant media scrutiny, typical for high-profile social media personalities.

However, their romance was short-lived and ended amidst a swirl of controversy. By late July 2020, rumors of infidelity began to surface, primarily initiated by fellow TikTok star Chase Hudson, who accused Johnson of cheating on D'Amelio. Screenshots from a TikTok user named Madison Galley also emerged, allegedly showing Johnson sending flirtatious messages and claiming to be single.

The breakup was confirmed by D'Amelio in an August 2020 YouTube video titled "My Last Date with Griffin," where she briefly stated, "Hey, so we actually broke up." Johnson initially denied outright cheating, admitting to Snapchatting a girl and jokingly asking for "toes" during what he described as a "four or five day period" when he and D'Amelio were on a break. He later expressed regret for his actions.

The aftermath of their split was highly publicized, with both parties addressing the drama. In September 2020, Johnson released a song titled "Convenient," which many interpreted as a diss track aimed at D'Amelio and her rumored new relationship with Noah Beck. In the song, he sang, "She said I cheated / That's just f*cked up / But you believed it / Ain't that convenient?" implying D'Amelio used the breakup to pursue Beck.

D'Amelio, in turn, responded to Johnson's song by posting a TikTok video that included "receipts," such as screenshots of an apology text allegedly from Johnson, where he appeared to "own up to it completely" and admitted to hurting her in a way that "can never be forgiven or forgotten." Johnson later tweeted an apology, stating, "I admit to f*cking up. I'm not perfect. God knows I'm not even close but time for others to admit the same."

Following the intense public breakup with D'Amelio, Johnson indicated a desire to step back from public dating. In December 2020, he told People magazine that he was taking a "complete break" from romantic relationships. He acknowledged the difficulty of dating in the public eye, where even casual interactions could lead to viral speculation and anxiety.

During this period, rumors briefly linked Johnson to television personality Kelly Osbourne in late 2020. However, Johnson quickly dispelled these rumors, clarifying that their relationship was purely platonic. He described Osbourne as a "great mentor" and one of his "literal best friends in Los Angeles," emphasizing that any sightings were misconstrued.

Since his highly publicized split from Dixie D'Amelio, Griffin Johnson has largely kept his romantic life out of the public spotlight. While D'Amelio moved on to a long-term relationship with Noah Beck (which has since ended), Johnson has focused on his career endeavors, including music, acting, and more recently, his involvement in the horse racing world. His public narrative has shifted away from romantic entanglements, indicating a preference for privacy in his personal life. As of recent reports, Johnson appears to be single and prioritizing his professional ventures, maintaining a more guarded approach to his relationships after the intense scrutiny of his past.
