Further, MrBeast shared that he films for nearly 28 days in a month and most of his life is out for the media. But it is his relationship with Thea Booysen that he wants to protect from media glare. In his words:
"It's just like my whole life is on the internet. I mean, I film 28 days a month. 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."
Talking about their love story, MrBeast and Thea first met in 2022. Reportedly, their meeting was purely accidental, as they crossed paths at a dinner organized by their mutual friend. Soon, they became friends and eventually fell in love. Later, they made their first appearance. Talking about the first meet, Thea once had a chat with Wide Awake Podcast and shared:

In December 2024, MrBeast proposed to his ladylove during their romantic vacation. And Thea screamed the easiest ‘yes’ of her life. Reportedly, it was on Christmas when the YouTuber popped the question. Since then, both Thea and MrBeast have often shared cutesy photos with his now-wife.
