As someone who so much going on, you may be wondering if he has time to date and if he is dating anyone. The answer is yes!

Jimmy previously dated fellow YouTuber Maddy Spidell from June 2019 to 2022.

Now, MrBeast has a new girlfriend, and they’ve been dating for over a year now.

Get to know her and find out how they met inside…

Meet Thea Booysen!

Thea is a well known YouTuber and Twitch streamer from South Africa, and she has actually only appeared in one of MrBeast‘s YouTube videos – The “$1 Vs $100,000,000 Car!” video, that actually, was just released only a few weeks ago.

She has two degrees, one in law and one in psychology, and actually uses one of her two YouTube channels, More Than Human, for psychology facts. In addition she has also written a book, “The Marked Children.”

Interestingly enough, if you didn’t know, Jimmy is one of the tallest male YouTubers, and he recently shared that Thea is a foot shorter than he is!

So, how did they meet?

“I feel like most people wouldn’t believe it, it’s literally something like out of a movie,” she said last year on the Wide Awake Podcast. “So normally I’m in my house, I don’t go out often ’cause I’m normally working, and I always thought, well, the perfect guy would probably also be in his house, not going out, so how do people like us meet? Because we don’t go clubbing per se.”

“What happened was, Jimmy was coming down to South Africa with Logan Paul, 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. So, obviously that’s where I am,” she continued.

“Logan forces MrBeast to go out for the night and MrBeast goes out into the wild, into a club, and they’re just sort of chilling there, and one of my friends stumble upon them and uh, so they went out for dinner the one night, and I said okay, I will leave the house, I’ll join you guys for a quick coffee,” she went on.

“I was also very curious, I knew of MrBeast, I knew the great things he was doing, but I was also, from a psychological perspective, curious, like, are these people playing it up? Do they have an alter ego? Are they down to earth? I really wanted to meet him in person and see,” Thea said. “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 actually like going off a list because he was like looking for a new girlfriend potentially and he had this whole list. He’s like she has to have a hobby, she has to have some interest, she has to do this, and that, and I just thought we were having the best conversation ever.”

“We were talking about my book, neuroscience, and the fact that he could keep up with the conversation to me, was very attractive, because you have to have a certain amount of interest and intellect to want to talk about these things. I thought I was boring him,” she shared.

Then, after she got home, she had a DM from him, they started talking on Twitter, then he went back to South Africa a second time to visit her, then a third time. She then returned to America with him and they just hit it off and have lots in common.
