YouTuber MrBeast announces engagement

YouTube sensation MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has recently announced his engagement to his girlfriend, Thea Booysen. The couple was spotted together at the premiere of MrBeast's latest series, Beast Games, where they looked happy and stylish. MrBeast wore a black suit jacket over a black hoodie, showcasing his casual yet fashionable style, while Thea dazzled in a sleeveless black dress, her long blonde hair elegantly styled. The engagement took place on Christmas Day, a moment MrBeast shared with his fans through photos that captured the heartfelt moment when he proposed to Thea. With an impressive 340 million subscribers, MrBeast is recognized as the most popular YouTuber in the world. Thea, who is 27 years old and hails from South Africa, also has her own YouTube channel called TheaBeasty, where she has garnered nearly 40,000 subscribers. In addition to her YouTube presence, she streams games on Twitch and is a published author, showcasing her diverse talents. In a recent interview, MrBeast revealed that he proposed to Thea while her family was visiting, emphasizing that he wanted the moment to be 'really private and intimate,' despite his reputation for extravagant online stunts. The couple shared adorable photos of themselves and their dog, all dressed in matching festive jumpers featuring MrBeast's branding. According to a magazine interview, the couple is not planning a lavish wedding. Thea mentioned, 'We're thinking of doing it somewhere on an island where we're far away from just about everybody. ' They aim for a wedding that is nice but not overly extravagant, focusing on a small gathering with close family and friends. MrBeast's new series, Beast Games, has faced criticism from some reviewers. He was recently photographed in New York, promoting the show while wearing a brown puffer jacket and holding a smartphone. Thea has previously defended MrBeast when he faced serious allegations regarding his former co-host, Ava Kris Tyson. She stated on her channel that she 'wouldn't be with him' if the allegations were true, showing her support for him during a challenging time. The couple was also seen together at a red carpet event for Beast Games, which is inspired by the popular Netflix series Squid Game. The show promises to be the largest live game show in the world, featuring 1,000 players competing for a cash prize of $5 million. However, the series has been surrounded by controversy. In September, a lawsuit was filed in the US by contestants who claimed they were 'shamelessly exploited' and experienced sexual harassment during the production. While neither MrBeast nor Amazon has officially responded to these allegations, MrBeast took to social media in November to assert that the claims were 'false. ' The series began releasing episodes on December 19 and has received mixed reviews from critics. One review gave it a mere two stars, describing it as 'dull' and 'almost entirely devoid of anything to get invested in. ' In response to the negative feedback, MrBeast expressed his disappointment, stating, 'It's sad one person who doesn't like me can just label something a thousand people poured their lives into a 2/10 when it's clearly not. ' Despite the criticism, MrBeast remains optimistic, believing that the series continues to be popular on Amazon worldwide.
