MrBeast and Thea Booysen Are Officially Engaged!
MrBeast ultimately proposed one month after Booysen graduated with a master’s degree in human cognitive neuropsychology at the University of Edinburgh. She also has a bachelor’s degree in law and an honors degree in psychology.
Although the bride-to-be “would have been happy with a plastic ring,” MrBeast proposed with a “beautiful” diamond on a rose gold band with additional diamonds on each side.
MrBeast met Booysen, a fellow gamer and internet personality from South Africa, in 2022 when he was visiting her home country. During the trip, MrBeast went to dinner with a mutual friend who invited Booysen to join them.
Booysen recalls
“When I met him, I was quite surprised how down-to-earth he was, and also how intelligent he was.” “I thought YouTubers were just sort of a persona, but 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.”
For Booysen, marriage is “just a formality” because she and MrBeast already act like they’re married.
Who is MrBeast?
MrBeast, also known as Jimmy Donaldson, is considered one of the highest-earning creators of all time due to his innovative and philanthropic approach to content creation on platforms like YouTube. He gained widespread recognition for his attention-grabbing stunts, generous giveaways, and charity initiatives
Who Is Thea Booysen? a Gamer and YouTuber with Multiple Degrees!
Like MrBeast, Booysen is a professional content creator. She is an esports commentator and online gamer who goes by the name TheaBeasty.
In 2022, Booysen graduated from Stellenbosch University with a bachelor’s degree in law and an honors degree in psychology. In November 2024, she earned a master’s degree in neuropsychology from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and shared a photo of herself and MrBeast celebrating her graduation.
How MrBeast and Thea Booysen Fell in Love?
While the pair struck up an instant connection, their romance almost didn’t happen as MrBeast had to return to the U.S. However, MrBeast soon messaged Thea on X and asked if he could read the book she was writing when it was finished.
She didn’t respond until more than a month later when she had finished writing. The pair enjoyed a three-hour call together and quickly fell in love.
Thea couldn’t help showering love on her man. She said when she met him for the first time, she wasn’t aware of his down-to-earth nature. He was the opposite of what people think about YouTubers; with no ego. MrBeast also vibed instantly and now the rest is history.
Why MrBeast and Thea Booysen Planned a Private Destination Wedding?
To the surprise of fans, the happy couple aren’t planning to exchange vows in the spotlight.
MrBeast explained:
“This will definitely be more family and friends — definitely more private.”
He added,
“I don’t take much vacation because of how hard I work, so I definitely want to make sure that the wedding will be a time to celebrate with her and spend time with friends and family.”
Thea suggested they will say “I do” on an island where they’re “far away from just about everybody.”
Thea and MrBeast first met in 2022 when he was visiting her home country of South Africa. They were introduced during a dinner with mutual friends.
