"Do I have to call her Mrs Beast now?": Fans react to MrBeast's proposal announcement 

On December 25, 2024, YouTube sensation Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson proposed to his girlfriend, Thea Booysen, during a family gathering on Christmas Day. The couple, who began dating in 2022 after meeting in South Africa, have shared a deep connection over their mutual interests in video games and learning.

Fans on X reacted to the announcement post, which depicted the YouTuber kneeling before Booysen, offering a ring. Karl Jacobs, a long-time MrBeast associate and one of the co-hosts on the new Amazon Prime Video show, Beast Games, asked if they would have to refer to Thea as "Mrs. Beast" going forward:

"Congrats to you two! Do I have to call her Mrs Beast now?"

The comments under the post flooded with positive messages and congratulatory posts for the couple. User @GeoffO7 wished MrBeast all the best for his future:

"Congrats Mr Beast. Sending positive vibes and optimism your way in your new journey!"

@ferrants referred to one of the YouTuber's most viral videos, Last To Leave Circle Wins $500,000.

"You made her stand in a red circle until she accepted, didn’t you?"

Like @ferrants, user @barrybaut questioned if the proposal happened in the classic MrBeast fashion, with challenges and minigames:

"She had just to say yes or no? No challenge and 15 minigames before all of that?"

Jimmy himself responded to this comment and humorously stated that Thea is now stuck with him for "80 years":

"The challenge is now she has to spend 80 years with me haha."
