World-renowned YouTube creator Jimmy Donaldson, widely known as MrBeast, has married his longtime partner, Thea Booysen, in a private ceremony held on Richard Branson’s exclusive Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands.

‎The 28-year-old internet personality shared the news with fans through a joint Instagram post, announcing that he had “found MrsBeast.”

‎The post featured photographs from the ceremony, showing the newlyweds dressed in elegant white attire.

‎Donaldson, who is the world’s most-followed YouTube creator with more than 500 million subscribers across his channels, became engaged to Booysen on Christmas Day in 2024 after proposing during a festive celebration while the pair wore matching MrBeast-themed Christmas sweaters.

‎Despite his reputation for extravagant online productions, Donaldson had previously revealed that he preferred a quiet and personal engagement and wedding, telling People magazine that he wanted the occasion to remain intimate and away from the spotlight.

‎Wedding photographs showed Booysen wearing a full-length lace bridal gown decorated with floral designs, while the groom chose a classic white tuxedo.

‎Throughout the celebrations, the bride changed into several additional outfits, including a sparkling white mini dress with a feathered skirt for the cake-cutting ceremony and a satin off-the-shoulder gown for the evening festivities.

‎Reflecting on the occasion, Donaldson described the celebration as the happiest day of his life.

‎MrBeast rose to global prominence by producing large-scale YouTube videos featuring elaborate challenges, charitable giveaways and competitions in which participants compete for substantial cash prizes.

‎His unique content has helped him become one of the most influential digital creators worldwide.

‎He also expanded into television through Beast Games, a reality competition series produced for Prime Video.

‎Inspired by Netflix’s Squid Game, the programme features contestants competing in a series of challenges for a grand prize worth five million dollars.

‎Booysen, a South African content creator, has established her own online following through her YouTube channel, TheaBeasty, which has attracted nearly 140,000 subscribers.

‎In addition to creating gaming content on Twitch, she is also a published author.

‎Although Donaldson’s online success has earned him worldwide recognition, it has also been accompanied by legal and public scrutiny.

‎Earlier this year, his company, Beast Industries, faced a lawsuit from a former employee alleging workplace gender discrimination and sexual harassment.

‎Separately, contestants from Beast Games have taken legal action over their treatment during production, while critics have also questioned the authenticity of some of MrBeast’s high-profile giveaways and challenge videos, alleging that certain competitions were carefully planned rather than spontaneous.
