MrBeast, the YouTube sensation known for his jaw-dropping philanthropy and wild stunts, has officially tied the knot! That’s right—Jimmy Donaldson has traded in his wild adventures for a lifetime of love with his long-time girlfriend, Thea Booysen. The couple exchanged vows during a charming and intimate wedding on the luxurious Necker Island, owned by the legendary Richard Branson. Now, I can’t help but wonder—did Venus have a special alignment in the sky when they said, “I do”? With all the love planets buzzing in the cosmos, it’s as if the universe was cheering them on!

The festivities were anything but ordinary. Surrounded by 70 close friends and family members, the lovebirds spent a week in paradise, soaking up the sun and indulging in all the island had to offer—from snorkeling to meeting kangaroos! Unlike other recent celebrity nuptials that became a social media frenzy (we see you, lavish buffet line complaints!), MrBeast opted for a celebration that was refreshingly low-key, keeping the spotlight on their love rather than the cameras.

So, if you’re curious about how two people, destined to become a dynamic duo, shared their vows amidst the backdrop of fairy-tale vibes, keep reading. Spoiler alert: It’s as dreamy as it sounds, and they’re hoping to make this magical gathering an annual tradition! 💍✨

MrBeast is officially off the market!

The YouTube superstar, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, married longtime girlfriend Thea Booysen during a private wedding celebration on Richard Branson’s exclusive Necker Island, according to a report from People.

The couple tied the knot in front of approximately 70 close friends and family members after several days of festivities on the luxurious Caribbean island.

Rather than turning the occasion into a social media spectacle — like some recent newlyweds — Donaldson and Booysen opted for a low-key celebration with no cameras beyond their professional wedding photographer.

“This will definitely be more family and friends — definitely more private,” Donaldson had previously said while discussing his wedding plans.

“It will be the ultimate way to take some time away and enjoy things.”

The festivities reportedly began on July 14 and stretched across an entire week, giving guests plenty of time to enjoy Necker Island’s amenities before the couple exchanged vows.

Wedding attendees spent time snorkeling, kitesurfing and even interacting with the island’s resident kangaroos and lemurs before the ceremony, which was officiated by a family friend who is an ordained minister.

Donaldson and Booysen first met in 2022 while the YouTube creator was visiting South Africa. Introduced through a mutual friend at dinner, the pair quickly connected over their shared interests.

“When I met him, I was quite surprised how down-to-earth he was, and also how intelligent he was,” Booysen recalled. “I thought YouTubers were just sort of a persona, but when I met him, I was quite surprised to see that he’s actually a nice guy.”

After returning to the United States, Donaldson reached out via X, and the two soon began a long-distance relationship.

He proposed on Christmas Day in 2024 while both of their families looked on after disguising the engagement ring as part of a gift exchange.

Now that they’re officially husband and wife, Booysen says little will change in their day-to-day lives.

“It sounds silly, but this is really just a formality,” she told People. “Ever since we started dating we’ve been doing it with the goal of marriage.”

She also described the wedding week as “heaven,” adding that she and Donaldson hope to make gathering their friends and family for a week-long celebration an annual tradition.

Our congratulations go out to Mr. and Mrs. Beast!
