YouTube star MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has married content creator Thea Booysen during a private ceremony at Richard Branson’s Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands. The wedding, which took place over a week beginning July 14, was attended by 70 friends and family members at the 74-acre private island resort.

“I found MrsBeast. And it was the best day of my life,” MrBeast wrote on Instagram while sharing pictures with his bride. The couple exchanged vows in a ceremony officiated by an ordained minister, who was a family friend. Their first dance was to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ song “Die With a Smile.” After a night of dancing to a live band, guests retreated to the main house to keep the party going, which Booysen joked was mostly “nerdy” things like card games and board games.

MrBeast, 28, first met Booysen, a fellow gamer and internet personality from South Africa, in 2022 when he was visiting her home country. The couple’s relationship has been relatively private, with both focusing on their respective careers and content creation. The wedding marks a new chapter for the YouTube star, who has built a massive following through his philanthropic stunts, challenges, and giveaways.

The choice of Necker Island, owned by billionaire Richard Branson, added an exclusive touch to the ceremony. The island, known for its luxury and privacy, has hosted numerous high-profile events and weddings. The week-long celebration allowed guests to enjoy the island’s amenities and participate in various activities.

MrBeast’s fans have expressed their joy and congratulations on social media, with many sharing messages of support for the couple. The wedding has become a trending topic, reflecting the immense popularity of the YouTube star, who has over 87 million followers on Instagram alone.

As MrBeast continues to expand his digital empire, his marriage to Booysen marks a personal milestone that has captured the attention of millions. The couple’s shared interests in gaming and content creation suggest a strong partnership, both personally and professionally. Fans will no doubt be eager to see how the couple navigates their future together, with many hoping for glimpses of their life together on social media. The wedding on Necker Island has cemented MrBeast’s status not only as a digital entrepreneur but also as a figure whose personal life continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
