YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, widely known as MrBeast, has married South African content creator Thea Booysen in an intimate ceremony. The week-long celebration, which ran from July 14 to July 21, 2026, was held on Necker Island, away from the public eye. The exclusive event hosted around 70 guests and featured a variety of outdoor activities, including kitesurfing, snorkeling, and private tours to interact with local wildlife like flamingos and lemurs. The wedding ceremony itself was officiated by a close family friend. For the occasion, Booysen wore a custom Nicole + Felicia Couture dress paired with a Banke Kuku bridal robe, while MrBeast donned a classic Ralph Lauren tuxedo. The couple's relationship reportedly began in 2022 during MrBeast's trip to South Africa. They made their first public appearance together at the Kids' Choice Awards in April 2022, and their engagement was announced on Christmas 2024.

I was surprised how humble and intelligent he was.
