MrBeast's fiancée Thea Booysen made a rare comment about him on social media following their recent trip to Mexico.
The Context
MrBeast—whose real name is James "Jimmy" Donaldson—is a popular YouTuber with 393 million subscribers on the platform. In addition to YouTube, he also boasts 115.3 million followers on TikTok, 70.1 million followers on Instagram and 32.5 million followers on X, formerly Twitter.
In 2022, Forbes reported the 27-year-old could become the world's "first YouTuber billionaire" with an annual income of $54 million and a net worth of $500 million.
Donaldson began his content creation career in 2012 by posting gaming videos. Five years later, he went viral for uploading a nearly 24-hour-long clip of himself titled "I Counted To 100,000!" These days, the Kansas native is known for his over-the-top challenges, large giveaways, and philanthropic endeavors.
On January 1, Donaldson announced his engagement to Booysen.
"So I kinda did a thing..," he wrote at the time, alongside a photo of his proposal and a picture of Booysen's engagement ring. Currently, the post has 63.2 million views.

What To Know
On Saturday, Booysen spoke out about Donaldson on social media.
"I got to explore Ancient Mayan temples in Mexico with Jimmy! We saw some incredible things," the fellow content creator wrote via Instagram. "Go check out his video."
"It was SO fun exploring ancient Mayan ruins in Mexico. Will show some cool stuff I caught on camera next week!" she said in a separate note on X.
Donaldson also shared a photo with Booysen from their trip and wrote, "We explored dozens of 2,000 year old ancient temples in the new video to see what's inside. One of my favorite vids :D."
Newsweek reached out to Donaldson's representative via email for further comment.
The couple explored the country while Donaldson filmed his latest YouTube video: "I Survived 100 Hours In An Ancient Temple."
As it stands, the clip already has 43.8 million views on YouTube and is quickly rising.
Following its release, Donaldson wrote on X: "I remember when videos used to get 37 views in a day not 37 million. I appreciate everyone that watches the videos and just know I would personally thank each of you if it was physically possible."
Prior to Booysen's latest posts, she last posted about Donaldson on Instagram and X on April 7. On Instagram, she shared photos of the pair together at the 2025 Breakthrough Prize ceremony, and on X, she promoted his Beast Philanthropy video, "Rescuing Child Slaves in Africa."
What People Are Saying
Booysen shared further details about their trip in the comments of her post on X.
Referring to the couple's recent trip to Egypt, X user @lordsp asked: "What is the most similar and less similar thing youve seen from being inside those in Egypt and these ones?"
In response, Booysen—who has a master's degree in neuropsychology—said, "Most similar: the weird fact that both feel abandoned and modern people in both regions haven't replicated those structures since. Least similar: These temples are filled with paintings and statues, etc. The pyramids were completely empty (likely raided or never had art in it to begin with)."
@observadorcity wrote: "What did you have to do to go up? The government has forbidden it since some years. There are videos of tourist going up the Chichén Itzá temple and the Police goes up to bring them down and the people shout and throw stones."
Booysen replied, "We didn't go up! It's seen as disrespectful to the locals. Instead we went into the Calakmul temples and some other spots around Mexico."
Additionally, Donaldson commented on Booysen's most recent Instagram post: "Cutie," he said.
What Happens Next
It's unclear if Donaldson and Booysen have set a wedding date yet.

Sorbet Nails Are Literally The Coolest Manicure Trend For 2025
All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission. I won't pretend sorbet nails are a brand-new trend. Let's be real — they look a lot like the pastel manicures that pop up every year at this time. But while they're not exactly groundbreaking, there's no denying that the biggest nail artists are obsessed with them right now. From Iram Shelton's shimmering strawberry manicure to Harriet Westmoreland's mint sorbet French tips, sorbet nails provide a cool pop of colour among the wave of neutral princess nails and milky manicures. For the sceptics amongst us, there is a subtle difference between this year's sorbet nails and more traditional pastels: 'Though they're in the same family of soft tones, sorbet shades are slightly more vibrant versions of pastel colours,' explains session manicurist Ami Streets. 'Inspired by their namesake edible summer treat, they're even brighter and juicier, often with a sheer or jelly-like finish that gives a gorgeously glossy and playful vibe.' Think of fruity hues inspired by your favourite ice cream flavours, such as banana, peach, strawberry, or pistachio, if you're unsure where to start. View this post on Instagram A post shared by faye louise dennis (@fayelouisedennis) How do you wear sorbet nails? Streets points out that sorbet shades lend themselves beautifully to nail art looks. 'Soft ombré gradients in sorbet colours are a dreamy nail look... effortlessly blending shades like pinks and peaches, for example, creates a sun-kissed effect that feels light, airy, and totally on-trend,' says Streets. Additionally, for minimalists, French tips, half-moon manis, and simple, dainty dot designs are a great way to wear sorbet hues more subtly. Orange Jelly View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nail Bar Milwaukee (@nailbarmke) This dewy citrus manicure created by Nail Bar Milwaukee has a beautiful jelly-like texture, which gives it a really playful edge. Recreate it at home with Essie's Expressie Nail Polish Don't Hate, Curate, $20. Rhubarb & Custard View this post on Instagram A post shared by ✨🪩🇲🇽 𝓡𝓪𝓶𝓸𝓷 𝓓𝓾𝓻𝓪𝓷 🇲🇽🪩✨ (@craftedbyaprince) Why pick just one colour when you can wear two? This strawberry milk and lemon sorbet fade created by nail artist Ramon Duran is utterly delicious. Strawberry Sorbet View this post on Instagram A post shared by Iram Shelton (@iramshelton) We're with this sheer and shimmery delight created by nail artist Iram Shelton, and will be rushing to recreate this combination of soft sparkling base and juicy pink ombré. Peach Cooler View this post on Instagram A post shared by Victoria | Nail Artist (@nailsxgoldenhour) Juicy and ultra-glossy, this peach manicure created by nail artist Victoria is to die for. OPI's Infinite Shine Nail Polish in Dreamsicle, $25, has the same sheer, watery feel, but with a touch of shimmer. Lemon Ice Streets pointed to pale yellow being one of the 'huge breakout sorbet hues', and this monochromatic look created by @kkdnails proves that it isn't going anywhere. Try Manucurist's Mimosa Nail Polish, $23, for a similar buttery lemon hue. Watermelon Shine View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zanë Jashari (@zanasnails) Aura nails lend themselves beautifully to sorbet hues, as nail artist Zanë Jashari proves with this delicate blush-colored design. Mint Tips View this post on Instagram A post shared by Harriet Westmoreland (@harrietwestmoreland) The simplest way to dabble in sorbet shades if you're a minimalist at heart is by switching the color of your French tips. This punchy mint look by Harriet Westmoreland is so fresh and chic. Try OPI's Infinite Shine In Mint Condition Nail Polish, $24.95 to get the look at home.

Machine Gun Kelly makes rare red-carpet appearance with daughter Casie: See the photos
Machine Gun Kelly may be an award-winning musician, but fatherhood remains the top gig. The Grammy-nominated rap-rocker (real name: Colson Baker) stepped out with his eldest daughter, Casie Baker, for a rare red-carpet appearance at the 2025 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards on June 21. Kelly shares Casie, 15, with his ex Emma Cannon. He "definitely gives a lot of advice. He's more like a hype man, though," Casie told People magazine in an interview ahead of the ceremony, to which Kelly replied, "Yeah, I'm a cheerleader." The teen added that her rockstar dad encourages her to be herself. For their Kids' Choice Awards appearance, Casie was dolled up in a strapless bubblegum pink dress, while Kelly kept things sleek in an all-black romper and matching boots. Machine Gun Kelly reveals baby's name, gives shout-out to ex-fiancée Megan Fox Kelly has been busy in the fatherhood department as of late. The "My Ex's Best Friend" singer welcomed a daughter, Saga Blade Fox-Baker, in March with ex-fianceé Megan Fox. "Megan is in the no sleep club, for sure," Kelly, 35, told People. "Women are in the rougher trenches of the newborn process, but my specialty is music and laughs and whatever I can do to make her smile and kind of get introduced to the world with love." Earlier this week, Kelly revealed the baby's name in a June 17 Instagram post, which included an adorable video of the singer serenading the infant with a ukulele. Casie gushed that becoming an older sister has been "fun," adding, "It's really just so cute. I love her so much." 10 bingeable memoirs to check out: Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé Saga marks Kelly and Fox's first child after calling off their January 2022 engagement. In a March 2024 interview on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, Fox declined to go into detail about their current relationship status. "I think that what I've learned from being in this relationship is that it's not for public consumption, so I think, as of now, I don't have a comment on the status of the relationship, per se," she said. "What I can say is: That is what I refer to as being my 'twin soul,' and there will always be a tether to him no matter what."

Cardi B Takes It "Outside" With Her First Single in Over a Year
Summary Cardi Bhas been sporadic with her solo releases lately, finally returning to the scene with her first single in just about 15 months. The now-streaming 'Outside' is the Washington Heights rapper's first new music since she dropped off 'Enough (Miami)' back in March of 2024 – the latter of which marked another 'return' from the rapper, marking her first solo studio release since February 2021's 'Up.' So, needless to say, whenever we get a new Cardi offering, it's a treat. After first premiering 'Outside' back in May at a Cannes afterparty, Cardi has finally dropped the high-octane track on all streaming platforms. The rapper took to her Instagram earlier last week to announce the song's official release. Landing the same day asOffset's new track 'Bodies,' Cardi doesn't hold back on 'Outside,' coming in hot from her first bar. 'Well, let's go wrong for wrong (What?), let's go lick for lick (Let's go) / If I can handle that (Uh-huh), let me see you handle this (Okay),' she fires off on the first verse. 'Do you how you do me, bet you we won't speak again / Favorite player from your favorite team, he in my DM.' Stream 'Outside' – out on all streaming platforms now.
