Maggie Thurmon Opens Up on Breakup Struggles with Benson Boone

ATLANTA, Georgia — Influencer Maggie Thurmon, 23, has been candid with her followers about her emotional challenges following her rumored breakup with pop singer Benson Boone, 23. In a recent video shared on her book club Instagram account, Thurmon expressed how difficult it has been for her to focus on reading.

“I’ve been struggling to pick up a book because I feel like now whenever I do, I can’t stop thinking about the things that are currently making me sad,” Thurmon said. She mentioned that she had “kind of disappeared” from social media after she started her book club page. The video, uploaded on September 29, showed her at her parents’ house in Georgia, reflecting on her feelings.

Thurmon and Boone, who sparked dating rumors in March 2024, reportedly ended their relationship earlier this month. On September 9, during his concert, Boone hinted at the breakup by telling fans, “Sometimes, people leave your life. Whether it’s the right thing or the wrong thing. And it is always hard.” This comment has led fans to speculate about the emotional state of both singers

In her latest Instagram post, Thurmon shared a moment with her father, where he encouraged her, saying, “I’m ready to see the phoenix rise out of the ashes,” referring to her as the “phoenix.” This has resonated with her followers, who continue to support her through this challenging time.

The couple’s relationship gained attention on social media, with their first appearance together at the Twisters premiere in July 2024 and their appearance at the VMAs. The last public sighting of the couple was at the Grammy Awards in early 2025, where Thurmon supported Boone during his performance.

As both individuals navigate their new paths, followers remain curious about the couple’s future, waiting for an official confirmation regarding their split.
