Mr. Beast is engaged!

The YouTuber popped the question to girlfriend Thea Booysen, and shared photos of the special moment on Instagram.

"Ya boy did a thing," he captioned.

In an exclusive interview with People, Mr. Beast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, and Booysen said that the proposal happened on Christmas Day, with their families in attendance.

"I intentionally dropped a large box to make noise before presenting the real gift — with the ring inside — to her. And then I went down on a knee and proposed," Donaldson said.

Contrary to the grand stunts he usually prepares for his YouTube videos, he said he really wanted the proposal to be "private and intimate."

"Thea is really close to her family, so I wanted to make sure that they were included in this momentous occasion. Christmas worked out great because they were in town from the other side of the world."

According to the report, the couple met when Mr. Beast was visiting Booysen's home country, South Africa, in 2022. A mutual friend invited them for dinner.

They have plans on getting married on an island "where we're far away from just about everybody."
