MrBeast Has Proposed to His Girlfriend
MRBEAST – The YouTuber, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, is engaged to his girlfriend, Thea Booysen. He shared the exciting news with his followers on Instagram, captioning the post, “Ya boy did a thing.”
In an exclusive interview with People, the couple revealed that the proposal took place on Christmas Day, with their families present. Donaldson explained that he intentionally made noise by dropping a large box before presenting the real gift—the engagement ring—and then proposed on one knee.
While MrBeast is known for his elaborate stunts in his YouTube videos, he emphasized that he wanted the proposal to be a private and intimate moment. He wanted Booysen’s family, who are close to her, to be part of this special occasion. The timing was perfect, as Booysen’s family was in town from South Africa for Christmas.
The couple first met in 2022 when MrBeast visited South Africa, where Booysen is from. A mutual friend arranged a dinner for them, leading to their relationship. They also shared plans to marry on a secluded island, away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
Meanwhile, MrBeast first gained widespread recognition through his “counting to 100,000” video in 2017. Since then, he has built a reputation for producing content that pushes the limits of creativity and generosity. Some of his most notable projects include organizing massive charity events, planting 20 million trees as part of the #TeamTrees initiative, and starting the #BeastPhilanthropy channel, which focuses on giving back to those in need.
MrBeast’s YouTube channel, “MrBeast,” has become one of the most-subscribed and most-watched channels globally, with millions of followers and billions of views. Through his viral content and philanthropic efforts, he has made a significant impact both in entertainment and charitable work.
