GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA: With an insane number of followers, MrBeast is undoubtedly the king of YouTube. It was when he went on an Antarctica expedition with his friends and YouTube crew to film a 50-hour challenge video that he met his current girlfriend, Thea Booysen. In his podcast, he shared how their first trip got canceled because every person in the Antarctica base tested positive for Covid. So they all had to be medically evacuated, and this is when the couple met at a friend's place.
The two began dating in February 2022, and since then, Booysen has accompanied him to the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Award, where the YouTube sensation won the Favorite Male Creator honor. While much is known about MrBeast, let's dig inside some unknown facts about Booysen.
