‘Younger & Younger’: Toya Wright’s Girlish Beauty Leaves Fans Head Over Heels

Toya Wright, who now goes by her maiden name Johnson, is leaving fans stumped over her youthful appearance.

She wore a sequined, navy blue sweater, leggings and knee-high boots. Johnson wore her hair in a half up-half, down ponytail hairstyle. Sitting on a couch and posing for the camera, the television personality added in her caption, “Church was awesome! Now it’s time to relax.”

Fans instantly noticed her youthful beauty and doused her with compliments.

“Is that a fresh face? 🥰 You are so beautiful @toyajohnson My God! You look like a teenager 😍”

“You and @colormenae are literally the same person 😩 I be confused liking the pics like is this. You look like her sister!”

“@toyajohnson now I’m always thinking baby girl took your pics when u home. Looks like ur aging backwards WOW! 🤩🙌🏾”

“Looking younger and younger. Glowing @toyajohnson I am happy for your engagement and family you have been blessed with3d”

Many people attributed Johnson’s youthful appearance to her fitness journey she underwent last year.

The mother of two and her fiance Robert “Red” Rushing were spotted working out vigorously in the gym. They also created fitness and health company “Weight No More.” As of Jan. 11, Johnson said she was down three pounds out of the goal of 10 she wants to lose.

“I’m down 3 pounds since the first I’m only 7 pounds away from my goal,” she wrote.

Despite Johnson’s desire to lose weight for her overall health and appearance, she’s currently embracing all of her flaws.

“Embracing my imperfections, learning to love every inch of me, the 36-year-old wrote on Oct. 23. “My ugly navel, my stretch marks and all. The things I hated for years…I’m slowly starting to love. #motherof2 #perfectlyimperfect.”

Fans flooded her with support at the time.

“You are perfection. I haven’t found a flaw yet ♥️. They are love marks from your little ones…. #Team mom. ❤️ you look amazing!!”

“Girrrrl!!! 🙌🏾😍 Embrace them! Some people wish they had em. You are so beautiful inside and outside”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
