MrBeast Marries Thea Booysen in Intimate Private Island Wedding, Shares First Dreamy Photos.
Jimmy Donaldson, better known to millions around the world as MrBeast, is officially married. The world's most-subscribed YouTuber has tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, South African author and content creator Thea Booysen , in an intimate ceremony held on Richard Branson's private Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands.
The couple shared the joyful news on social media by posting their first official wedding photographs. Alongside the dreamy beachside pictures, Donaldson wrote, "I found MrsBeast, and it was the best day of my life," delighting fans across the globe. The announcement quickly went viral, with millions of likes and congratulatory messages pouring in within hours.
A Private Celebration Instead of a Grand Spectacle
Although MrBeast is famous for producing extravagant YouTube videos with multi-million-dollar budgets, he chose a surprisingly low-key wedding.
According to People, the celebrations took place over a week beginning on July 14 and were attended by around 70 close family members and friends. Rather than turning the occasion into another internet event, the couple intentionally kept the ceremony private until after exchanging vows. Guests spent the week enjoying activities such as snorkeling, kitesurfing and exploring the island before the wedding ceremony, which was officiated by a close family friend.
Thea wore a custom-designed Nicole and Felicia wedding gown, while Jimmy opted for a classic Ralph Lauren tuxedo. Their reception featured an elegant menu including sushi and Wagyu beef, followed by a carrot cake chosen as a tribute to Thea's favorite dessert. The couple also shared their first dance to a song by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars.
Their relationship gradually became public as the pair occasionally appeared together at events and on social media. In December 2024, Donaldson proposed to Booysen on Christmas Day in front of their families, announcing their engagement shortly afterward.
Despite being in a relationship with one of the internet's biggest personalities, Booysen has largely stayed away from unnecessary publicity, choosing to focus on her own professional career while occasionally supporting MrBeast during major public appearances and projects.
Speaking after the ceremony, Booysen described the week-long celebration as "heaven," saying it was filled with love, meaningful conversations and unforgettable memories with their closest friends and family. The couple also expressed hope of recreating similar annual gatherings with loved ones in the future.
With their wedding now official, MrBeast and Thea Booysen begin a new chapter together—one defined not by record-breaking YouTube challenges, but by a deeply personal celebration that reflected the values they have shared throughout their relationship.
