Jimmy Donaldson, who is known on YouTube as MrBeast, married Thea Booysen, a content creator and writer from South Africa. The wedding took place in private on Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands, with about 70 friends and family present. Donaldson shared wedding photos on social media on 21 July, calling it the best day of his life.

Donaldson chose to keep the event private instead of making a big public video. He is famous for huge online challenges and big prizes, but the wedding was the opposite. The couple focused on spending time with loved ones, enjoying activities like snorkelling and a family-led ceremony.

Because the wedding was private, there were no big cameras or public competitions. This allowed Donaldson and Booysen to enjoy their wedding without outside attention. The couple celebrated quietly, away from millions of fans.
