00:00In July 2026, Mr. Beast married Thea Buickson on a private island, with almost no cameras rolling
00:05and barely any advance notice. Shortly after the ceremony, rumors started spreading that his wife
00:10had a small baby bump. The couple finally addressed the speculations, and it's not what you think.
00:15The Pregnancy and the Wedding
00:17Rumors about Thea Buickson being pregnant for Mr. Beast started circulating long before their
00:22wedding. But the couple all but confirmed these rumors, when Thea posted a simple but powerful
00:27line, when Beast Jr., Mr. Beast replied with an emoji and neither of them gave any formal announcement.
00:32No one could confirm or refute the information until the wedding day. So, what really happened
00:36that day? Mr. Beast just got married. Looks like we got a Mrs. Beast now. The ceremony itself took place
00:41on Richard Branson's 74-acre private island, with celebrations beginning July 14. About 70 guests
00:47attended, a small number for a channel that reaches hundreds of millions of subscribers. There was no
00:51live stream, no sponsored segment, no thumbnail. Mr. Beast confirmed the marriage himself, sharing
00:56photos rather than a produced video. None of that privacy was a last-minute decision.
01:01Buickson said over a year before the ceremony that they weren't interested in anything big or
01:05extravagant, and that the day would be intimate, with close family and friends. Donaldson made the
01:10same point himself, telling Entertainment Tonight the wedding would not become content,
01:14unlike almost everything else in his life. He pointed out that he films roughly 25 to 28 days a
01:19month, and that his entire adult life has effectively played out on camera. The wedding,
01:23he decided, would not be one of those days. Compare that to how he runs everything else.
01:28Beast Games alone involved thousands of people on set on its busiest days, broke multiple world
01:32records for scale, and required building a temporary city in a field for contestants to live in between
01:37filming. His Squid Game video reportedly cost around $4 million to produce in 30 days. Everything about
01:43how he works points toward bigger, more contestants, more cameras, more scale. The wedding is the one
01:48project in his life built around the opposite instinct, smaller, fewer people, no cameras at
01:53all. It is worth pausing on how unusual that is for someone in his position. Most creators at his
01:57level treat major life events as content opportunities, because audiences reward that
02:02kind of access and platforms reward the engagement it generates. Donaldson chose the opposite path on the
02:07one day where the temptation to film would have been highest, and reporting on the wedding since has
02:11consistently noted how little actually leaked before the couple confirmed it themselves.
02:15That level of control, on a day this significant, did not happen by accident.
02:19It also lines up with how Donaldson has talked about fame more broadly. He said before that being
02:24recognizable everywhere, all the time, is one of the few costs of his career he doesn't enjoy,
02:29the trade-off for building the largest channel on the platform. A wedding is one of the few remaining
02:33events where a person still gets to choose who's in the room, and by every account, he and Boyson
02:38use that choice deliberately, on the one occasion where the default expectation, given his audience,
02:43would have been the opposite. That contrast is the real hook of this story. To understand why
02:47he was so protective of this one specific day, it helps to go back to how the relationship even
02:52started, because the instinct to keep it private didn't begin with the wedding. It began three
02:57years earlier, on a trip that was never supposed to involve meeting anyone at all.
03:01A layover that changed everything. The story does not start with a plan to fall in love.
03:07It starts with a flight to Antarctica. Mr. Beast was set to film a video in Antarctica,
03:12with a crew that included Logan Paul. The trip required a stop in South Africa first.
03:17That is where things went sideways. Someone on the Antarctica end tested positive for COVID,
03:22which meant the whole crew had to isolate and clear a negative test before they could continue.
03:26So instead of a few hours on the ground, Donaldson was stuck in South Africa for two weeks.
03:31So we were going to Antarctica to film a video. When we land in South Africa.
03:34With time to kill, he kept working. That was the plan anyway. Logan Paul, single at the time,
03:39had other ideas, and spent the delay trying to drag Donaldson out of his hotel room.
03:43Donaldson said no repeatedly, until he didn't.
03:46I met someone, and then she ended up having a friend who was named Thea.
03:50The club led to dinner. Dinner led to a woman he'd met inviting her friend along,
03:53a friend named Thea. Donaldson has said that within an hour of talking to her,
03:57he knew something was different, largely because of how she carried herself and spoke.
04:01She told him she was an author, and the way she talked about her work told him she was serious
04:05about it.
04:06Thea Boysen was not a stranger to content creation herself. She ran a channel called Thea Beastie
04:10with tens of thousands of subscribers, streamed on Twitch, and had already published a book.
04:14She also held a bachelor's degree in law and an honors degree in psychology,
04:18and would later add a master's in human cognitive neuropsychology from the University
04:22of Edinburgh before the engagement was announced. None of that was small talk to Donaldson,
04:26for him, it was the entire pitch. This was not a chance encounter between two anonymous strangers.
04:31It was two established content creators, both with their own audiences already in motion.
04:35Running into each other because of a cancelled itinerary neither of them controlled.
04:39Neither one was looking to be discovered by the other, which is part of what separates this
04:43from the usual celebrity meet-cute. There was no publicist, no red carpet,
04:47no shared project pulling them together. It was a delayed flight and a friend's persistence,
04:51nothing more calculated than that. It's also worth noting how much of this trip was already
04:56unusual before any of it happened. Donaldson doesn't take many trips that aren't built around a
05:00video, and the Antarctica shoot itself was a major production, not a casual outing.
05:04The two-week delay was the only reason there was unstructured time at all,
05:08on a normal schedule. He'd likely have landed, filmed, and left without ever crossing paths
05:12with Buickson. The whole relationship exists because of a quarantine rule that had nothing
05:17to do with either of them. Which raises the obvious question, what was he actually looking
05:21for that night, and why had it taken this long to find it?
05:2538 Dates and a List Nobody Saw
05:27Before Thea Buickson, there was a search, a long, quiet, mostly undocumented one that
05:33Donaldson has only described in hindsight. He said publicly that when he dates, it is with
05:37marriage in mind, not casual interest. That approach came with a private set of criteria,
05:42not a formal test, he insists.
05:44I went on, I don't know, what was it? I think I went on 38 different dates before I met
05:48Thea,
05:49and she was the first one that actually, like, checked all those boxes.
05:51Though he understands why it got framed that way online. 38 dates is not a number he throws
05:56around casually, it is specific enough to suggest he was actually counting, holding out for something
06:01rather than settling. What he was holding out for by his telling, was less about chemistry and more
06:06about character. An obvious intelligence, a constant curiosity, someone who would challenge him rather
06:11than simply orbit his career. He has been direct that Thea's intellectual drive read to him as one of
06:16her most attractive qualities, not an afterthought to it. He has also said, in the same breath, that he
06:21believes she would be an exceptional mother, a detail he raised well before any wedding date
06:25was set, tying the relationship directly to a future he was already picturing. He was 26 when
06:30they met, already running the largest channel on YouTube, and a company that would go on to be
06:34valued at $5 billion. That scale of success tends to change what a person can afford in a partner's
06:40search, more options, more scrutiny, more people with an agenda attached. 38 dates in that context is
06:46not a long search for someone with his level of visibility. It suggests he wasn't casting a
06:51wide net so much as walking away quickly whenever something didn't fit, and continuing to look
06:55until it did. He has also said that recognizing Thea as different from the others, took almost no time
07:00at all, inside the first hour of talking to her, by his own account, which stands out given how
07:04deliberate the 38 date search had otherwise been. That combination, a long careful process followed by
07:09an almost immediate certainty once the right person showed up, is a pattern he has repeated in
07:13interviews without ever fully explaining, beyond pointing back to how she carried herself in that
07:18first conversation. The dating period that followed was not glamorous, either. It involved figuring out
07:23how to see each other while she was studying, and he was filming almost every day of the month,
07:28which became a test of the relationship in its own right. That kind of long-distance stretch,
07:32layered on top of his already packed filming schedule, is where a lot of relationships involving
07:36public figures tend to fall apart. Donaldson has been candid that the workload doesn't let up for
07:41anyone he's dating. He's described his schedule as a never-ending sprint, and said plainly that no
07:46rational person would keep it up unless they loved what they were doing. Asking a partner to build a
07:51relationship around that pace is its own kind of test, separate from anything about compatibility
07:56or attraction, and it's one that played out for months before the engagement was ever on the table.
08:01The $150,000 Flight Distance is where a lot of relationships quietly fail. This one had an
08:09unusual amount of it. While they were dating, Thea Buxin was studying in the United Kingdom,
08:13and Donaldson lives nowhere near a major airport. A two-hour drive is required just to reach one,
08:18and from there it's typically a flight with at least one layover to get anywhere significant.
08:22Missing her, and unwilling to spend nearly 19 hours in transit each way,
08:26he made a decision that became his own answer to biggest personal splurge.
08:30One time, my fiancée, she was studying in the UK, and I really wanted to see her. I don't live
08:36near a
08:36major airport, so. A commercial round trip would have eaten nearly two full days. A private jet cut that
08:41down to a fraction of the time. So that is what he booked. At a cost, he has put at
08:45roughly $150,000,
08:46just to see his then-girlfriend for a stretch of time that most long-distance couples would
08:51consider a long weekend. He has since described feeling conflicted about the price tag. Even
08:59while defending the decision, a rare moment of him admitting a personal expense didn't fully make
09:04financial sense, but happened anyway. It's a useful contrast to how he otherwise talks about money.
09:08He has said repeatedly that he keeps less than a million dollars for himself personally,
09:12reinvesting almost everything back into the company, and that he barely thinks about his
09:16own bank account day to day. A $150,000 flight booked purely to close an A-tower travel gap doesn't
09:22fit
09:23that pattern at all. It's the one place the math didn't matter to him. That detail matters more than
09:27it might seem on the surface. Someone who runs a multi-billion-dollar business on tight logistics and
09:32constant calculation making an exception this large, for this reason, says something about where the
09:36relationship sat in his priorities even before it was public. He wasn't flying out for a milestone
09:41or an anniversary. It was simply that he wanted to see her, on a fairly ordinary stretch of time,
09:46and decided the cost of waiting was higher than the cost of the jet. It's a small moment in the
09:50scope of a multi-year relationship, but it's one of the clearest examples of how Donaldson actually
09:54operates versus how his public image suggests he operates. Online, he's known for enormous numbers,
10:00million-dollar prizes, record-breaking sets, videos that cost more than most people's homes.
10:04This flight doesn't fit that pattern of scale for its own sake. It was a private,
10:08unpublicized decision made for one person, with no video, no announcement, and no audience in mind
10:14at all, which is precisely why it only came up later, in an interview about his personal life
10:18rather than his business. That flight happened before the engagement, while she was still his
10:22girlfriend, not his fiancée. Which means the next chapter, the one where he starts talking about
10:27the one, was already being written in the background the whole time.
10:30She just makes me a better person. Somewhere between the layover in South Africa and the
10:36$150,000 flight, Donaldson arrived at a conclusion, and he has been unusually direct, for someone who
10:42keeps most of his personal life off camera, about explaining it. That framing, better person,
10:47better businessman, is notably not romantic language in the traditional sense. It's the language of
10:52someone evaluating a long-term partner, the same way he'd evaluate a hire or a business decision.
10:57Which tracks with everything he said about how deliberately he approached dating in the first
11:01place. The proposal itself, when it came, matched that same low-key, deliberate approach rather than
11:06his usual large-scale public persona. On Christmas Day 2024, with both families gathered at their home
11:11for the holiday, Donaldson proposed after intentionally dropping a large box to create a distraction before
11:16presenting the ring. He has said he specifically avoided the kind of spectacle people expected from him.
11:21No stadium, no public stunt, just family in a living room.
11:24Wilson, for her part, described marriage as just a formality given how aligned the two already felt,
11:29and confirmed they had discussed children and their long-term future together well,
11:32before the ring was involved. A year into the engagement, Donaldson told Entertainment
11:36tonight the relationship had been amazing, and credited her with keeping him grounded despite
11:40a schedule built around filming nearly every day of the month. That word, grounded,
11:44is worth sitting with given everything that came before it. This is someone who has been buried alive on
11:49camera, spent seven days in solitary confinement for a video, and runs a company that broke world
11:54records for the size of its sets and the number of people on them in a single day. Very little
11:58in
11:58his professional life is small or quiet. The fact that he singles out one relationship out of
12:03everything he does, as the thing that keeps him steady, says as much about the marriage as any of
12:08the individual details do on their own. It also closes the loop on the question this whole story
12:13opened with. Someone who has built his entire career on visibility, scale, and constant output
12:18chose a partner who, by his own description, slows him down in the ways that matter and pushes him in
12:23the ways that count. That is not a contradiction of the persona, so much as the one part of it
12:28the
12:28public rarely gets to see. The parts of Donaldson's life he has decided are worth protecting from the
12:33cameras that follow almost everything else he does. So put the whole story next to each other.
12:37A wedding on a private island with no cameras rolling, a chance meeting caused by a COVID delay in
12:43America, a deliberate, long search that came before it, a six-figure flight to close the distance
12:47during the relationship, and a proposal built around family instead of spectacle. Every piece
12:52of it lines up. The person who spends $4 million on a single YouTube video, films 25 to 28 days
12:58a
12:58month, and does not slow down for anything, chose the one part of his life to keep small, quiet,
13:02and completely his own. This all brings us back to the question, are they having a baby? The answer is
13:07simple. There have been no official announcements for verified photos of a baby bump. If Thier is
13:12pregnant, everyone is going to find out eventually. All we can do is wait and see.
