Benson Boone and Girlfriend Maggie Thurmon's Complete Relationship Timeline

Benson Boone made his Coachella debut over the weekend, and his "Bohemian Rhapsody" performance with Queen member Brian May is one for the music history books. The singer has had a successful year with a Grammy nomination and memorable Grammys performance, and now with his Coachella showdown, it's only up. 

The 22-year-old artist garnered success after he released his single "Beautiful Things" in 2024, after he dropped out of American Idol in 2021. Boone's fans and other Coachella attendees weren't the only ones showing his set love and support. His girlfriend, Maggie Thurmon, was also in attendance and spotted during the legendary set, showing her support for her boyfriend. Thurmon, a podcaster and social media influencer, has been romantically linked with Boone since January 2024.

The aspiring actor and singer have kept their relationship somewhat private as they'll be spotted posing on red carpets together while attending prestigious ceremonies, and have shown each other support publicly. They aren't afraid to pack on the PDA no matter where they are, but they still refrain from commenting publicly about their relationship, as is within their right. 

The TikTok star (who currently has 5.3 million followers) continues to pursue acting, with her most recent role being in the 2023 film The Other Zoey starring opposite Drew Starkey and Josephine Langford. Boone took the time during his set to announce his sophomore album, American Heart, which is set to release on June 20, 2025. The power couple is taking the entertainment industry by storm, and they're doing it together.

January 2024

Boone teased fans with a TikTok video he posted in January 2024, where he seemingly confirmed the rumors that he was dating Maggie Thurmon. He was singing along to one of his songs, and fans immediately knew the "her" was a reference to the 23-year-old influencer. 

In a 2024 interview with Billboard, Boone confirmed that his hit song "Beautiful Things" was written for his rumored girlfriend. He said the song "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. Meaning like, 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." His relationship with Thurmon hadn't been confirmed yet, but once it was made official, it became clear that she was the muse.
