Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, has announced his engagement to girlfriend Thea Booysen, sharing the exciting news with his fans on social media. The proposal took place on Christmas Day, with MrBeast getting down on one knee and popping the question in front of their families.

Booysen shared details of the romantic moment with People magazine, revealing that MrBeast asked her to close her eyes before presenting her with the engagement ring. “My family flew out from South Africa for Christmas, and we were opening presents when he asked me to close my eyes,” she said. “He then got down on one knee and proposed. I was extremely excited and said yes!”

The couple’s relationship began in 2022 when they met through a mutual friend in South Africa. MrBeast was immediately drawn to Booysen’s intelligence and charm, and he knew he wanted to date her from the moment they met. They made their relationship public later that year, walking the red carpet together at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards and sharing romantic posts on Instagram.

With over 340 million subscribers on YouTube, MrBeast is one of the most popular creators on the platform. His engagement to Booysen has sent shockwaves of excitement through his fanbase, with many congratulating the happy couple on their new milestone.
