Benson Boone Girlfriend
Benson Boone’s girlfriend, well, ex-girlfriend now, since the headline-making split, was none other than the multitalented Maggie Thurmon.
On X, @BooneAccess, a fan account dedicated to Benson Boone, shared an update regarding the relationship between the singer and Maggie Thurmon. According to the post, Benson Boone and Maggie Thurmon are no longer following each other on Instagram.
On X, @trendybuzzHQ reported that Benson Boone and Maggie Thurmon have reportedly split, according to TMZ.
Sometimes pop culture relationships feel like background noise, just another “cute couple at the VMAs” moment, but honestly, Benson and Maggie brought a rare kind of charm to the spotlight.
For almost two years, their dynamic played out both on red carpets and on late-night social media scrolls, quietly turning casual onlookers into invested fans. Their breakup, confirmed just this week, wasn’t exactly earth-shattering, but for those who cared, it stung a little.
Even if you weren’t following every Instagram post, the way their romance unfolded so publicly, ending with an unfollow and a few tearful stage moments, somehow felt relatable, like the “rough day” Boone admitted to outside an arena in Nashville. Love in public hits different, especially when it unravels.
Who is Maggie Thurmon?

Maggie Thurmon is more than just a “celebrity girlfriend”, though the internet does love that label. She made her name first on TikTok, riding the wave of viral dances and relatable quips back in 2019, well before she was ever on a red carpet with Benson Boone.
Underneath all the glam (and the relentless Instagram algorithm), Maggie’s just as much an actress and influencer as she is the supportive, endearingly awkward plus-one at music industry events.
People love her for her quick wit on social media, maybe you caught her sharing behind-the-scenes looks at award shows or clowning around in story clips. In some ways, she’s the personification of “girl-next-door goes viral,” but with the self-awareness to laugh about it.
There’s something winsome about the way Maggie supported Benson on his upward climb, even joining him at major milestones, from his first shot at the Grammys to those nerve-wracking (and sometimes awkward) late-night performances.
A lot of influencers feel interchangeable, but Maggie’s authentic vibe and goofy side made her stand out. She wasn’t just content to be seen; she wanted fans to see what she saw in Boone, and she never tried to steal the spotlight.
Benson Boone and Maggie Thurmon Relationship Timeline
If every pop star romance is a story, this one had a real, lived-in arc, bright spots, awkward detours, and a bittersweet final act.
They went public in March 2024, not with a tabloid spread or viral tweet, but by sweeping into Elton John’s Academy Awards viewing party in West Hollywood. Weeks later, Maggie “Instagram-official’d” everything with a quick video: hand-in-hand, a little blurry, both grinning like they’d just won a secret.
From there, the relationship unfolded in a rhythm almost familiar to anyone watching young love play out online:
-
Spring 2024: Red carpet sightings ramp up. Tommy Hilfiger’s NY Fashion Week event, check. MTV VMAs, complete with “are they together?” headlines, double check. PDA on a carpet? Of course.
-
Fall 2024: Benson tells Entertainment Tonight it’s not just about chemistry; he “loves her whole personality.” Their parents meet, and the banter in interviews gets a little more playful.
-
Grammys 2025: Maggie beams in the audience while Boone leaps and flips on stage. She later quips online that her “highlight” wasn’t his infamous onstage gymnastic stunt, classic Maggie move.
-
SNL May 2025: Saturday Night Live debut. Post-show afterparty. Those moments, frozen on Getty Images, look straight out of every starry-eyed music documentary.
This all sounds storybook, but the break came quietly. On September 7th, Maggie’s still showing up at concerts, just like always. By September 9th, Boone is telling his Nashville fans he’s had “a rough day,” hinting at pain behind the scenes.
Fans on TikTok put the puzzle together: they’ve unfollowed each other, split confirmed by TMZ and Us Weekly. On stage, Boone can’t help but wear his heart on his sleeve: “Sometimes people leave your life… And it sucks” he admitted, his voice cracking before “In the Stars”.
If you ever wanted proof pop stars bleed the same as the rest of us, there it was, unfiltered, raw, and kind of beautiful in its sadness.
Why This Breakup Resonates
It’s easy to eye-roll at another celebrity split, but this one resonates simply because it wasn’t manufactured for the memes or the magazine covers.
You see the little things, Boone choking up, Thurmon quietly pulling back from the spotlight, fans picking up the breadcrumbs. When you date in the public eye, there’s no “just friends” phase away from everyone else; everyone wants answers.
Sometimes you get them, and sometimes, all you get is an emotional speech on stage.
