How did the couple meet?
Donaldson first met Booysen in 2022 while visiting his now-wife’s home country in South Africa.
“When I met him, I was quite surprised how down-to-earth he was, and also how intelligent he was,” Booysen recalled in an interview with People. She continued, “I thought YouTubers were just sort of a persona, but when I met him, I was quite surprised to see that he’s actually a nice guy. He wasn’t sitting there with an ego”
The island wedding
After their initial meeting, their communication continued when MrBeast sent Booysen a DM on X. Soon after, they started dating, and they made their first public appearance at the Kids’ Choice Awards in April 2022.
Both 28-year-olds, the couple had an ‘intimate’ wedding at Richard Branson’s Necker Island. The event was attended by 70 friends and family members.
The wedding event kicked off on July 14 and lasted a week. Reportedly, the guests enjoyed a series of island activities, including kitesurfing and snorkelling.
The couple, after exchanging their vows, had their first dance to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ song “Die With a Smile.”
“It sounds silly, but this is really just a formality. Ever since we started dating we’ve been doing it with the goal of marriage. The difference is now the world knows we’re married, but we’ll still come home to our house and dogs and cats, and then we’re off to our next adventure!” Booysen said while talking about her special day.
She added, “Jimmy really went out of his way to make all the guests super comfortable and feel included, and got to know my extended family, and it was all so incredibly special. It just made me love him all the more.”
