Famed YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, popularly known as MrBeast, started the new year with an exciting announcement. On January 1, 2025, MrBeast revealed his engagement to long-time girlfriend Thea Booysen through a heartfelt Instagram post. Sharing beautiful snapshots from the cozy ceremony, he captioned the post, “Ya boy did a thing.”
A Christmas Proposal to Remember
The proposal took place on Christmas Day at the couple’s home, surrounded by their families. Speaking to People, Booysen shared details about the memorable moment:
“My family flew out from South Africa for Christmas, and we had planned to celebrate at home so both families could be together. As we opened presents, Jimmy surprised me with one last gift and asked me to close my eyes. When I opened them, he was down on one knee holding the ring.”
MrBeast humorously added that he “intentionally dropped a large box to make noise” before presenting the real gift: a stunning diamond ring on a rose gold band.
A Private and Intimate Celebration
True to his nature, MrBeast opted for a low-key engagement. “I wanted the moment to be private and intimate, not flashy,” he explained.
Booysen, overwhelmed with joy, described the moment as “perfect.” She revealed that the couple plans to keep their wedding similarly personal and exclusive. “We’re not aiming for an extravagant wedding,” she said. “It will be on an island, with just close family and friends.”
The ring itself has garnered attention for its elegance. Featuring a solitaire diamond on a rose gold band, with smaller diamonds flanking the centerpiece, it perfectly symbolizes their timeless bond.
A Love Story Rooted in Friendship
MrBeast met Thea Booysen, a South African gamer and internet personality, in 2022 during a visit to her home country. Their story began over dinner, where mutual friends introduced them. Their connection quickly blossomed, leading to a relationship that fans have celebrated ever since.
Fans Celebrate the Couple
Since the announcement, fans and fellow creators have flooded social media with congratulatory messages. Keywords like “MrBeast engagement,” “Thea Booysen proposal,” and “YouTube celebrity wedding” have been trending, highlighting the couple’s global fanbase.
As one of the biggest names on YouTube, with over 200 million subscribers, MrBeast’s personal life has always been of keen interest to his followers. However, his ability to keep his engagement private shows his dedication to balancing fame with meaningful personal moments.
