YouTube's biggest star is now a married man. Jimmy Donaldson, known worldwide as MrBeast, married South African gamer and author Thea Booysen on July 21, announcing the news with an Instagram post captioned "I found MrsBeast," according to People and AOL. Both are 28 years old.
The couple wed in a private ceremony on Richard Branson's Necker Island, with about 70 guests in attendance. Despite building a career on filming nearly everything, MrBeast made clear this wedding would not become content. Booysen quickly updated her Instagram name to Thea Donaldson after the announcement.
A Week-Long Necker Island Celebration for 70 Guests
The wedding was no one-day affair. AOL reported the celebration stretched across an entire week on Necker Island, the private Caribbean retreat owned by billionaire Richard Branson. Around 70 close friends and family members joined the couple for the festivities.
Guests took part in island activities between ceremonies, including kitesurfing, snorkeling, and wildlife interactions with kangaroos and lemurs, according to People. Wedding planner Marcy Blum coordinated the multi-day event. MrBeast called it the "best day of my life," OloriSuperGal reported.
Bespoke Attire and a First Dance to Lady Gaga
The couple dressed the part. The groom wore a Ralph Lauren tuxedo. The bride wore a custom gown by Nicole + Felicia Couture, with a bridal robe by Banke Kuku, according to People. Makeup was done by Lola's Beauty Mark, hair by Mikey Lu, and styling by Jeremy Noig.
The reception featured a menu of sushi, Wagyu beef, and fish, plus a carrot cake as the wedding cake. The couple shared their first dance to "Die With a Smile" by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, AOL reported.
From a 2022 Meeting to a Christmas Day Proposal
MrBeast and Booysen first met in 2022. Their relationship stayed largely out of the spotlight, fitting MrBeast's stated desire for privacy in his personal life. The couple got engaged on Christmas Day 2024, OloriSuperGal reported.
About ten days before the July 21 announcement, MrBeast hinted on social media that he might be getting married and would skip a YouTube upload — a rare move for one of the platform's most prolific creators. Real Hacker News noted he built his career around elaborate videos and films most days of the month, making the privacy-first approach to his wedding a notable break from his usual style.
MrBeast Chose Privacy Over a Viral Wedding Video
For a creator who has produced videos with hundreds of millions of views, the choice to keep the wedding off camera stood out. MrBeast made clear the event would not be turned into a full content production, according to Real Hacker News. The ceremony was intimate by design.
The couple shared only a single photo publicly after the event. Geo.tv described it as a "romantic beach ceremony" glimpsed through that one image. The restrained reveal still became a viral moment, with fans and fellow creators reacting widely online to the "I found MrsBeast" announcement.
