This 22-year-old singer, who initially gained fame with his song “Beautiful Things” after leaving American Idol, is earning acclaim from fans for his captivating set. He is also receiving unwavering support from his lovely girlfriend. While Benson is known for his dynamic stage presence, he tends to keep his personal life private, though he has shared a few sweet moments from his romantic journey.
Meet Benson Boone’s girlfriend, Maggie Thurmon.
Here’s what you need to know about the singer’s girlfriend, who shares a notable online presence of her own.
Who is Benson’s girlfriend?
Benson has been dating social media influencer and actress Maggie Thurmon since late 2023. The 23-year-old began her acting career in 2010 with a role in the short film The Candy Shop. She continues to pursue acting opportunities and recently appeared in the 2023 film The Other Zoey alongside Queer actor Drew Starkey.
How did his girlfriend Maggie inspire his biggest hit?
Benson hinted that his new relationship with Maggie inspired “Beautiful Things” during an interview with Billboard in early 2024, prior to publicly announcing their romance. In the interview, he shared, “It was inspired by a relationship that I had just gotten into — for the first time in my life, I felt like I was extremely out of control of the way this relationship would turn out.” He noted that the song was written in September 2023, explaining, “In the past, I feel like I’ve always known that I could be the one to end a relationship. This one felt very different. It was the first time that I’d really been actually, genuinely terrified to lose something.”
How did Maggie first become famous?
Maggie has amassed over 300k followers on Instagram and more than 5 million on TikTok. She first gained recognition as a brand ambassador for Hollister. In 2019, she began sharing TikToks about her high school experiences, which went viral as she documented her senior year in 2020 with weekly videos. She followed this by posting numerous clips trying out various social media challenges, often featuring her dad, Dan. The duo has become known for their family-friendly content and now hosts a podcast titled Wholesome Chaos.
Benson and Maggie’s relationship
Benson and Maggie made their first public appearance as a couple in March 2024 at the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s annual party. They later attended New York Fashion Week and the MTV Video Music Awards that September, where Benson performed. Although photos of their appearance at the Grammy Awards in February 2025 are not available, Maggie shared a clip of herself arriving at the event. She is also likely at Coachella supporting her boyfriend, although neither has confirmed it publicly yet.
