The internet’s favorite philanthropist, MrBeast, and South African content creator Thea Booysen are engaged! MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, proposed to Thea on Christmas Day in a private and heartfelt moment surrounded by their families. The couple is now planning an intimate island wedding, far from the spotlight that often follows them.
A Surprise Christmas Proposal
Jimmy, 26, surprised Thea, 27, during a family gathering at their home on Christmas Day. Thea’s family flew in from South Africa, making the occasion even more special. As the families exchanged gifts, Jimmy asked Thea to close her eyes, setting the stage for the big moment.
“I dropped a large box to create some noise, then presented the real gift with the ring inside,” Jimmy shared. When Thea opened her eyes, she was greeted with a proposal and a stunning diamond ring on a rose gold band. Without hesitation, she said yes.
Thea, who cherishes her family, was touched by how Jimmy involved them in the proposal. “It was so thoughtful of him to include my family,” she said.
A Love Rooted in Connection
The couple’s journey began in 2022 when Jimmy visited South Africa and met Thea through mutual friends. Despite his global fame, Thea found him surprisingly down-to-earth and admired his intelligence. “I fell in love with his brain,” she revealed, explaining that their shared passion for learning and curiosity about the world brought them closer.
Jimmy was equally smitten. “Thea’s brilliance and depth impressed me immediately,” he said. Their bond deepened over long conversations about science, creativity, and their shared interests.
Building a Life Together
Though Thea initially thought their connection might end with Jimmy’s return to the United States, their relationship blossomed after Jimmy reached out to her. The two began dating soon after, with Jimmy even flying back to South Africa to solidify their relationship.
Thea, an accomplished author and cognitive neuropsychology graduate, shares Jimmy’s love for exploration and personal growth. The pair spends their time gaming, traveling, and enjoying quiet moments with their dogs.
A Private Celebration of Love
Unlike his public persona known for grand stunts, Jimmy envisions a simple, intimate wedding. The couple plans to exchange vows on a secluded island, surrounded by close family and friends. “We want a meaningful celebration without the extravagance,” Thea explained.
Jimmy echoed this sentiment, stating, “I want to step away from work and focus on celebrating with the people we love.”
