He sat down for a raw conversation on the Dear Media\u2019s \u201cGood Guys\u201d podcast to discuss his future. The digital creator made his criteria very clear during the interview. \u201cI don\u2019t want to have a kid unless I\u2019m a phenomenal father,\u201d he stated firmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He believes that being a truly great parent requires a massive personal sacrifice: \u201cKids make you more successful \u2014\u00a0I hate when people say that kind of stuff, because, I agree, it\u2019s a sacrifice when you\u2019re actually a good father. What you guys are quantifying is that it\u2019s a sacrifice, but it\u2019s worth it.\u201d However, he admitted that he isn\u2019t sure if he is ready to make that trade-off right now. For MrBeast, being average at something isn\u2019t an option.<\/p>\n<p>The YouTuber also pushed back against common social pressures. He disagreed with the idea that children automatically make a person more successful. To him, a successful career and successful parenting are two different worlds. He noted that many high achievers have to sacrifice their professional growth to be present for their kids. MrBeast noted, \u201cVery few people that I meet that are successful and have kids end up regretting it. They\u2019re almost always like, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019m less successful, but I don\u2019t care.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite these hesitations, his relationship with Thea Booysen is stronger than ever. The couple got engaged on Christmas Day in 2024. Booysen has shared that they already feel like a \u201cmarried\u201d unit. Speaking exclusively to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/mrbeast-engaged-to-thea-booysen-planning-island-wedding-exclusive-8767624\">PEOPLE<\/a>, she said that marriage \u201cwas just another step in the process.\u201d They have even discussed what their lives will look like when they are 70 years old. <\/p>\n<p>While the wedding is a \u201cformality,\u201d the decision to have children remains a heavy one. MrBeast is focused on his legacy, both online and at home. He won\u2019t become a dad until he can give it 100 percent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.momtastic.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YouTube legend MrBeast is known for his massive stunts and extreme generosity.
