YouTube's most-subscribed content creator Jimmy "MrBeast" recently responded to a post listing the diverse educational qualifications of his fiancé, Thea Booysen. As per the X post, Booysen has degrees in multiple fields, including law, neuroscience, and psychology.

The two announced their engagement through social media posts uploaded to MrBeast's Instagram and X accounts on January 1, 2025. Reportedly, the YouTuber popped the question on Christmas Day (2024), at the couple's home, while they were surrounded by close friends and family.

Thea Booysen is a massive internet personality in her own right, with over 433,000 followers on Instagram. She is also an author, having written a young adult sci-fi book titled The Marked Children. The 27-year-old was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa. Jimmy, a native of Wichita, Kansas, met Booysen during a visit to South Africa in 2022.
