Mrbeast And Thea Booysen Tie The Knot In Enchanting Private Ceremony

An Intimate Affair for MrBeast and Thea

Prepare to swoon, folks! YouTube's philanthropic giant, MrBeast (also known as Jimmy Donaldson), has tied the knot with the talented content creator Thea Booysen. The couple, both 28, sealed the deal in a private ceremony, as confirmed by MrBeast himself via an Instagram post on July 21, 2026. The lovebirds first met four years ago, and after a romantic engagement in December 2024, they've finally said "I do."

"I found MrsBeast ❤️❤️❤️ and it was the best day of my life," shared the YouTube star in his heartfelt announcement.

From Engagement to "I Do"

Their journey to the altar has been nothing short of heartwarming. MrBeast, known for his larger-than-life stunts and the hit "Beast Games" series, chose to keep things simple for his wedding day. He opted for a low-key affair, much to the surprise of many who expected a grand spectacle. "My friends thought I would want to propose in a very public way," MrBeast previously told People. "But I knew that I wanted it to be really private and intimate."

The ceremony was a picture-perfect event, with Thea dazzling in an ivory and nude bridal gown adorned with floral lace, while MrBeast looked dapper in a classic white tuxedo shirt and blazer, paired with black pants and a bow tie.

The Love Story Begins

How did these two lovebirds meet, you ask? It all started on a trip to South Africa, Thea's home country. A mutual friend introduced them, and the connection was instant. MrBeast reached out to her on social media, sparking a conversation about her upcoming book, "The Marked Children." "I thought YouTubers were just sort of a persona," Thea revealed, "but when I met him, I was quite surprised to see that he's actually a nice guy."

After a year of dating, the "Beast Games" creator popped the question, but not before Thea completed her master's degree in human cognitive neuropsychology at the University of Edinburgh. "In my mind, we're already married," Thea shared. "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."

A Proposal to Remember

The proposal itself was a family affair, happening on Christmas Day amidst the joy of gift-giving. "We were opening presents, and then for the very last present he asked me to close my eyes because it was a surprise," Thea recounted. MrBeast wanted to make sure her family was part of the special moment, knowing how much they mean to her.
