MrBeast put his girlfriend through a tough test
The YouTuber once appeared on a podcast with Flagrant. There they asked him about how he met Thea Booysen. Donaldson shared he met her in Cape Town. Within 5 seconds of meeting her, he thought Booysen was beautiful. So, he had her go through tests, as he didn’t get along with women easily.

MrBeast further explained his reasons, saying, “If like they don’t love learning, they’re not obsessive, they don’t have a hobby. There are just certain things where, if you have these traits, we get along really well. And if you don’t, it’s impossible for us to hang out.”
MrBeast revealed asking her about her work when they first met. So Booysen answered she’s an author, which impressed the YouTuber. As he continued the session, he discovered her interest in learning and that she has multiple degrees. Moreover, she got a neuroscience degree for fun.

Thea Booysen shared it’s not easy dating Jimmy Donaldson
If it’s difficult for MrBeast to date some, then it’s also hard for his girlfriend to date him. Booysen once attended an interview where she revealed dating Jimmy was very anxiety-provoking. She had to deal with negativity from Jimmy’s fans, like some claiming her to be a gold digger.
