00:00And I went on, I don't know, I think I went on 38 different dates before I met Tia.
00:05From buying over 100,000 flowers for an ex-girlfriend who later called him a weirdo,
00:09in a public post to going on dates with nearly 38 women,
00:13and even traveling across the continent in search of love,
00:15Mr. Beast's relationship history is full of shocking twists.
00:19Here's every woman he's ever dated.
00:21The first girlfriend.
00:23The year is 2019.
00:25Mr. Beast is not the biggest name on YouTube yet.
00:27He is a young man from North Carolina who spends most of his time locked in a room making videos,
00:32and then a girl slides into his Twitter DMs.
00:35Her name is Maddie Spidal.
00:36She is 19.
00:37She was born on the 31st of March 2000 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
00:41She is a dancer, a model, and a small-time influencer.
00:44And somehow she gets Jimmy Donaldson's attention through a single DM.
00:48They meet up for their first date in June of 2019.
00:52Jimmy tells the story on camera a few months later.
00:54How long have y'all been dating?
00:55Eight months.
00:56How'd you meet?
00:57Twitter.
00:57Surprisingly.
00:58That is Jimmy speaking about her almost eight months in,
01:01and the details of that first date paint a picture nobody expected.
01:05Where was your first date?
01:06We went to a comedy club, and then we went and looked at stars, and...
01:09I could go out for a really long time, but that was basically it.
01:11A comedy club and stargazing.
01:13They start dating quietly, but a now-deleted Instagram post of them watching a PewDiePie video
01:18tips off the fans.
01:19Once the news is out, Maddie gets hit with the wave of hate every girl who dates a rich man
01:24gets.
01:24People call her a gold digger.
01:26She fires back with a since-deleted tweet saying she does not want Jimmy for his money.
01:30She just wants a boyfriend with good taste in anime who can make her laugh.
01:34Then comes the biggest moment of their relationship.
01:36It is Valentine's Day of 2020.
01:39They have been dating about eight months, and Jimmy pulls off one of the most famous gestures
01:43in YouTube history.
01:45I bought 100,000 roses, and this truck isn't even all of them.
01:49We have two entire trucks full of roses.
01:52He rents a giant house.
01:53He fills every room with 100,000 fresh roses, two truckloads.
01:57His crew arranges them into a heart, a baby Yoda, and Maddie's name spelled out in petals.
02:01Before Maddie walks in, Jimmy FaceTimes her mom to get approval on the surprise.
02:05He also stops filming for a second to speak plainly about her.
02:09She's very smart and funny and beautiful.
02:11And I really like her a lot.
02:14And maybe she can be in more videos in the future.
02:16The video pulls tens of millions of views.
02:18Maddie starts appearing in a few more uploads.
02:20She shows up at the end of I Spent 50 Hours in Solitary Confinement in May of that year.
02:25She joins him for I Adopted Every Dog in a Dog Shelter in July.
02:28And they take home a dog and name him Pinky.
02:30In December of 2019, Jimmy rents out a whole movie theater to show her a photo montage of
02:35the two of them.
02:36But behind the grand gestures, Maddie is trying to keep the personal side quiet.
02:40She talks about it on her own channel later, without naming him.
02:44I think when your relationship is very public, it can distort the way you feel about that person
02:49or about your relationship.
02:51For almost three years, they seem happy.
02:53Jimmy's channel explodes.
02:54Maddie grows her own following.
02:56From the outside, it looks like a fairy tale.
02:58From the inside, something is already breaking.
03:00The cryptic fallout and the 38 dates.
03:03The break comes quietly.
03:05No farewell video.
03:06No goodbye post.
03:07In early 2022, a Rolling Stone reporter is putting together a big cover story on MrBeast.
03:13Buried in the article is one line.
03:15Jimmy has recently split from Maddie Spider.
03:17Jimmy refuses to talk about it on the record, citing her privacy.
03:21But people close to him do.
03:22They describe Maddie as a positive influence who pushed him toward better work-life balance.
03:26Jimmy could not stop working.
03:28His former collaborator Ava Chris Tyson, then Chris Tyson, tells the reporter the same.
03:32The relationship did not survive.
03:34That looks like the end of the story.
03:36It is not.
03:37Two years later, Maddie breaks her silence.
03:39It is August of 2024.
03:41MrBeast is in the worst news cycle of his life.
03:44His company is under investigation.
03:45A former collaborator has been dragged into a serious scandal, and Maddie Spidal posts on
03:50Instagram stories.
03:51She never says his name.
03:53Everyone knows who she is talking about.
03:54She opens with a message aimed at YouTube itself.
03:57You need to re-evaluate who you're putting on the trending page.
04:00Then she talks about being 19 when it started, and how 19 to 21 are formative years that changed
04:05how she trusted men.
04:06Then she drops the line that gets screenshotted a million times.
04:09She writes, I believe I should be used as a cautionary tale.
04:12If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
04:15How he treats other women will ultimately be how he treats you.
04:18She mentions months of therapy.
04:20She warns young women about scary people out there, people who will hurt you, use you,
04:24spit you out, and then tell you it's your fault.
04:26Fans do the math.
04:27Maddie was born in 2000.
04:29She started dating Jimmy at 19.
04:31She turned 21 right around the split.
04:33The post is about ages 19 to 21.
04:35It is about dating someone famous.
04:37The timeline lines up.
04:39When critics call the post too vague, Maddie fires back on X.
04:42Three years away from that weirdo.
04:43My skin is clear.
04:45My relationships and friendships are flourishing.
04:47I'm frolicking in a field.
04:48That one word, weirdo, blows up across every drama channel on the internet.
04:52She has been broken up with Jimmy for about three years.
04:55Jimmy never responds.
04:56He just keeps making videos.
04:58But while the drama is playing out in 2024, he has already found someone new.
05:02He is four months from getting engaged to her.
05:04And the way he found her only came out on camera in early 2026,
05:08when he sat down with the Wall Street Journal for a show called The Job Interview.
05:12Jimmy tells the world that after Maddie, he did not go looking for love.
05:15He went looking for a wife with a checklist.
05:18I know what an ideal partner for me would be.
05:21I'm not dating to date.
05:22When I date, it's obviously to marry.
05:24Then he drops the number that shocked the internet.
05:27Then I went on, I don't know, what was it?
05:28I think I went on 38 different dates before I met Tia.
05:3238 dates, 38 different women.
05:34He sat across from each of them, asked questions, read their personalities,
05:38and checked a list in his head.
05:39Was she smart?
05:40Did she have real hobbies?
05:41Did she have a thirst for knowledge?
05:43Would she be a good mother?
05:44It took 38 dates to find someone.
05:46Like, I'm not giving up that easy.
05:4737 times the answer was no.
05:49He shook hands, said goodnight, and called the next one.
05:52The approach got him roasted online.
05:53People called it cold.
05:55People called it creepy.
05:56Jimmy did not care.
05:57On date number 38, half a world away in South Africa, he was about to find her.
06:01The one.
06:02While Jimmy was working through 38 dates in America,
06:05a woman on the other side of the world was minding her own business.
06:08Her name is Thea Bukson.
06:09Online, she goes by Thea Beastie.
06:11She's from Cape Town, South Africa.
06:13She is a gamer, Twitch streamer, YouTuber, and author, finishing degrees in law, psychology,
06:18and neuroscience.
06:19In her free time, she is writing a novel called The Marked Children, and she barely leaves her
06:23house.
06:23Then in 2022, Jimmy flies into her country with Logan Paul and Casey Neistat.
06:28They were supposed to fly to Antarctica for a video.
06:31Everyone catches COVID.
06:32The shoot is canceled.
06:33They get stuck in South Africa longer than planned.
06:36Logan Paul drags a reluctant Jimmy to a club one night.
06:38A friend of Thea's is there, spots the group, and calls her.
06:41Thea almost says no.
06:43Curiosity wins.
06:44She agrees to come out for coffee.
06:45She tells the whole story on the Wide Awake podcast.
06:48So how did you meet Jimmy?
06:49Honestly, I feel like most people wouldn't believe.
06:52It's like, it's literally something like out of a movie.
06:55She shows up at dinner.
06:56She meets Jimmy in person, and he is nothing like she expected.
06:59So I got there, and he was super nice.
07:02Very down to earth.
07:03What Thea does not know that night is that Jimmy is quietly running his checklist.
07:07She is date number 38.
07:08Little did I know, he was actually like going off a list, because he was like looking for
07:14a new girlfriend, potentially.
07:16He asks about her hobbies, her book, her neuroscience research.
07:19Thea thinks she is having the best conversation of her life.
07:21She has no idea he is checking boxes.
07:24The fact that he could keep up with the conversation, to me, was very attractive, because you have
07:29to have a certain amount of interest and intellect.
07:32On his side, according to what he told the Wall Street Journal, he knew almost right away.
07:36Oh, literally within an hour of talking to her.
07:39She told him she was an author.
07:40She was writing a book.
07:41She talked about ideas the way most people gossip about celebrities.
07:45That was the box he had been trying to check for three years.
07:48Jimmy flies home to North Carolina and cannot stop thinking about her.
07:51He slides into her DMs asking about the book.
07:53They start talking every day.
07:55Then he books a flight back to South Africa just to see her.
07:58The flight is about 24 hours each way, and Jimmy is on the ground for barely more than a day.
08:02He comes back a second time, then a third.
08:05Then Thea flies to America with him for a month, and they are dating for real.
08:08They make their public debut in April of 2022 at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.
08:14Jimmy wins Creator of the Year.
08:16Thea stands next to him on the red carpet.
08:18For the next two years, they run long distance.
08:20Thea splits her time between Cape Town and North Carolina.
08:23She finishes her master's in human cognitive neuropsychology in Edinburgh.
08:27Jimmy keeps building his empire.
08:28They adopt a cat off the street and name her Satan.
08:31Through all the online drama around him, Thea never wavers.
08:34I always say people know Mr. Beast, but I know Jimmy.
08:37Then comes Christmas Day of 2024.
08:40Both families are together at Jimmy's house in North Carolina.
08:43Thea's parents flew in from South Africa.
08:45Everyone is opening presents.
08:47There is one last box.
08:48Jimmy hands Thea a huge box as a decoy, just for the noise.
08:51He asks her to close her eyes.
08:53She opens them to find him on one knee with the real ring.
08:56She says yes.
08:57They keep it quiet for a week.
08:58Then on January 1st of 2025, Jimmy posts a photo carousel of the proposal with the caption,
09:04Ya boy did a thing.
09:05On the Wall Street Journal show, he finally puts into words why he chose her.
09:09He describes her as one of the first people he has ever met who pushed him to be a better
09:14businessman.
09:14Then he talks about the kind of mother he thinks she will be.
09:17They plan a private wedding.
09:18No cameras, no content, possibly on an island, just family and close friends.
09:22On the 11th of July 2026, Jimmy posts, no upload today, may or may not be getting married
09:27and a little occupied.
09:29Fans go into full meltdown.
09:30No announcement follows.
09:32It is Jimmy trolling.
09:33As of right now, they are currently hitched, still keeping the whole thing off camera.
09:37That is every woman MrBeast has ever publicly dated.
09:40Maddie Spital, the first love who became a cautionary tale.
09:4337 other women whose names we will probably never learn.
09:46And Thea Bugson, the South African neuroscientist who checked every box on a list she did not even
09:50know he was keeping.
