Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson, the internet sensation and YouTube megastar, has once again captivated his global fanbase—this time with a heartwarming personal milestone. On January 1, 2025, MrBeast announced his engagement to his longtime girlfriend, Thea Booysen, in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
“So I kinda did a thing,” he wrote, sharing two photos: one capturing the emotional moment he proposed in front of Thea’s family and another showcasing the dazzling diamond ring he gave her.
Fans across the globe quickly flooded the post with congratulatory messages. One user wrote, “Holy smokes congrats MrBeast and Thea!” Another added, “For all the good you do for others, you truly deserve love and happiness. Congrats!”
Thea also took to her social media account to share her excitement, posting, “Happy New Year indeed,” alongside another photo celebrating their engagement.
A Decade of Success
MrBeast has kept most of his personal life out of the limelight, even as he became one of the most influential figures on social media. Over the past decade, his philanthropic videos and larger-than-life challenges have amassed billions of views on YouTube. In July 2024, he became the first YouTuber to surpass 300 million subscribers and even launched his own TV show on Amazon Prime Video.
While his relationship with Thea Booysen has been relatively private, the couple has appeared together in select posts and videos. Their engagement marks a rare glimpse into Donaldson’s personal life, earning the admiration of fans who have followed his journey.
A Proposal with a Twist
Interestingly, this is not the first time MrBeast has been connected to a marriage proposal. Just days before his own engagement announcement, contestants from his Beast Games show revealed another romantic moment.
Steven England, a participant eliminated from the show, used another contestant’s ring to propose to his girlfriend, Tiffany Weaver, in December 2024. Though the ring had to be returned, the couple later received a gift of custom engagement rings from Shane Co.
Now, with his own engagement making headlines, fans are speculating what the future holds for the beloved YouTuber. Could a wedding vlog be in the works?
Who is MrBeast?
As MrBeast begins 2025 with love and excitement, his fans are cheering him on, eager to see the next chapter in his personal and professional journey.
