The two met at a club in South Africa in 2022 and started dating soon after. Jimmy had halted there on his way to filming a new video in Antarctica.

How Did MrBeast Meet Thea Booysen?
Both MrBeast and Thea Booysen are typically reserved about their private lives, but she did share how she met the YouTube star during an episode of Joshua Rubin’s Wide Awake podcast. She explained that MrBeast had halted in South Africa (on his way to Antarctica) for a new filming project. She added:
“Jimmy (MrBeast) was coming down to South Africa with Logan Paul, and Casey Neistat. They had a video they wanted to film in Antarctica and everybody got COVID, so they had to cancel the video and stay in South Africa a little bit longer.”
Booysen further explained that it was fellow YouTuber Logan Paul who had urged Jimmy to go to a club with him. This is where the two (Thea and Jimmy) first met. In the club, she explained, one of her friends met him and arranged the meeting. She continued:
“I really wanted to meet him in person and see. So, I got there and he was super nice, very down to earth and he started asking me a lot of questions. Little did I know he was going off a list because he was looking for a new girlfriend potentially and he had this whole list.”
