Grab your confetti cannons, because internet megastar MrBeast, aka Jimmy Donaldson, has officially leveled up his love life! The 26-year-old YouTube king popped the big question to his girlfriend, Thea Booysen, on Christmas Day, proving once and for all that holiday proposals are the gift that keeps on giving.
The Proposal: A Plot Twist Worthy of Clickbait
Picture this: It’s Christmas morning, both families are gathered, the tree is glowing, and wrapping paper is flying. Then, like the finale of a rom-com directed by Santa himself, MrBeast turns to Thea with a sneaky smile and says, “Close your eyes for the ultimate unboxing experience.”
“I even dropped a giant box on purpose to throw her off,” Jimmy confessed, fully embracing his inner prankster. Inside the real box? Not a Tesla or a golden ticket to his next crazy challenge, but a ring. Yep, MrBeast traded his usual cash-stuffed briefcases for a sparkly band and went full-on romantic.
Thea opened her eyes, probably wondering if she was about to win $10,000 or a lifetime supply of chocolate bars, only to find her favorite YouTuber on one knee. Of course, she said yes, because, well, duh!
Love at First Collab
These two lovebirds first met back in 2022 when Jimmy was exploring South Africa. (Yes, even YouTube billionaires need a little vacation.) A mutual friend played Cupid and introduced Jimmy to Thea, who, fun fact, is a content creator, author, and all-around brainiac.
“When I met him, I thought he’d be this egotistical YouTube persona,” Thea admitted. “But nope, he’s actually a nice guy—like, annoyingly nice.”
Jimmy, on the other hand, was immediately smitten. “She’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she didn’t run away when I started talking about algorithms and philanthropy,” he gushed. “I knew within minutes I wanted to date her. Thankfully, she didn’t think I was too weird.”
Wedding Bells and Island Vibes
While the internet is already begging for a live-streamed, challenge-style wedding, Jimmy and Thea are keeping things classy and private. “This isn’t going to be a MrBeast challenge like ‘Last Family Member Standing Wins the Bouquet,’” Jimmy joked. Instead, the couple is planning an intimate ceremony on a faraway island where the only thing extravagant will be the ocean views.
Thea added, “We’re thinking small, cozy, and definitely Wi-Fi-free. The last thing we need is someone live-tweeting the vows!”
What’s Next?
With wedding plans underway and the internet collectively swooning, MrBeast and Thea are gearing up for their happily-ever-after. Whether they’re building schools, breaking records, or just binge-watching Netflix like the rest of us, one thing’s for sure: This duo is the ultimate power couple.
Congratulations to MrBeast and Thea! May their life together be filled with love, laughter, and maybe just a few million-dollar giveaways. 🎉
