MrBeast, the globally renowned YouTuber and philanthropist, surprised his fans with heartwarming news: he is officially engaged! On Christmas Day, Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, proposed to his girlfriend, Thea Booysen, in a private and meaningful moment surrounded by their families. The proposal was the grand finale to a festive day of gift-giving.
In an exclusive interview with People, Booysen shared how the moment unfolded. “We were opening presents, and then for the very last present, he asked me to close my eyes because it was a surprise,” she said.
With their parents present to witness the joyous occasion, she happily said yes. MrBeast revealed that he carefully planned the proposal to include Booysen’s family, knowing how important they are to her.
The engagement was a heartfelt yet low-key event, contrasting with the over-the-top stunts MrBeast is known for on his YouTube channel. It reflects his desire to create a personal and intimate moment for his future wife, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their relationship.
A Love Story Rooted in Mutual Respect
The couple’s love story began in 2022 when MrBeast visited South Africa. A mutual friend introduced him to Thea Booysen, an author and scholar, during his trip. After an engaging dinner conversation, Donaldson reached out to Booysen on social media, expressing interest in her upcoming book, The Marked Children.
Booysen, who initially perceived YouTubers as personas with inflated egos, was pleasantly surprised by MrBeast’s humility and genuine character. She noted, “When I met him, I was quite surprised to see that he’s actually a nice guy. He wasn’t sitting there with an ego.”

Over the next year, their relationship blossomed into a deep bond built on shared values and understanding. Despite MrBeast’s colossal fame and wealth, he found a partner in Booysen who admired him not for his celebrity status but for his authentic personality.
Booysen’s academic achievements also highlight her intellectual depth. With a master’s degree in human cognitive neuropsychology from the University of Edinburgh, she encouraged MrBeast to wait until after her graduation to propose. This mutual respect for each other’s milestones exemplifies the supportive foundation of their relationship.
With the engagement marking a significant milestone, both MrBeast and Booysen are looking ahead to a future filled with shared dreams and aspirations. Booysen described their relationship as already feeling like a marriage, stating, “We talk about children, how we’re going to live together when we’re 70 years old… this was just another step in the process.”
MrBeast’s decision to keep both the proposal and their wedding plans low-key aligns with their desire to focus on the intimate aspects of their union. This approach contrasts with the larger-than-life stunts that have defined his YouTube career, highlighting his commitment to cherishing personal moments.
As MrBeast continues his philanthropic ventures and groundbreaking content, his engagement adds a new dimension to his life. Fans worldwide celebrate this milestone, eagerly awaiting updates on their wedding plans and future endeavors as a couple.
let’s enjoy few years on earth with peace and happiness….✍🏼🙏
