MrBeast says his wedding to Thea Booysen will be private and off-camera

MrBeast has confirmed that his upcoming wedding to fiancée Thea Booysen will be a private affair, with no plans to turn the ceremony into online content. The 27-year-old YouTuber, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has been engaged since Christmas Day 2024 and has been quietly planning the wedding for more than a year. Despite being one of the most visible creators on the internet, MrBeast has drawn a firm line between his work and his personal life, making it clear that fans should not expect videos or livestreams from his big day.


Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, MrBeast shared how meaningful his engagement has been and why privacy matters so much to him. “It's been amazing,” MrBeast said of being engaged. “I love my fiancée very dearly, and I think she helps keep me grounded and makes me a better person. Maybe we'll take a photo at the wedding, but no.” His comments suggest that while he is happy to celebrate milestones publicly at times, his wedding will be a rare moment kept mostly offline.

MrBeast plans a wedding away from cameras and the spotlight

For MrBeast, the decision to keep his wedding off-camera comes from the nature of his daily life. “It's just like my whole life is on the internet. I mean, I film 28 days a month,” MrBeast said. “I'm always in front of a camera, and so, for the most part, my relationship is one of those things I just keep behind the camera 'cause it's just like everything else is in front of it.” As one of the most successful creators in the world, almost everything he does is documented and shared online.





This mindset has shaped the couple’s wedding plans from the beginning. MrBeast has previously said he hopes for a very private ceremony where fans do not track down the location. Thea Booysen has also shared that they are considering an intimate destination, possibly an island, where only close family and friends would be present. The focus, according to both of them, is on spending quality time together rather than hosting a large or extravagant event.


In the end, MrBeast’s approach highlights a rare pause in an otherwise nonstop online life. While millions of fans follow his every move, his wedding to Thea Booysen will be about stepping away from the spotlight and celebrating love in a quiet, meaningful way.
