LOOK: MrBeast marries South African girlfriend Thea Booysen
MrBeast has found his Mrs Beast…
YouTube icon MrBeast and his fiancée, fellow content creator Thea Booysen, recently tied the knot.
According to People, the celebrity couple tied the knot during an intimate wedding on Richard Branson’s Necker Island in front of 70 guests.
Although intimate, the celebrations kicked off on 14 July and spanned an entire week. Guests had the opportunity to mingle and enjoy island activities, including kitesurfing and snorkelling, before the couple finally exchanged vows.
The ceremony was officiated by an ordained minister who is also a family friend.
After exchanging vows, the couple entered the reception area and had their first dance to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ song ‘Die with a Smile’.
The pair shared stunning pictures from their big day on Instagram.
The 28-year-old MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, met his South African wife in 2022 while visiting the country.
He had dinner with a mutual friend who also invited Booysen.
“When I met him, I was quite surprised by how down-to-earth he was and also how intelligent he was,” Booysen recalled.
“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.”
The pair “vibed instantly” and started dating soon afterwards.
On Christmas Day in 2024, MrBeast popped the question.
