I was hopeful when Benson Boone started dating Maggie Thurmon because I thought the romance might inspire some higher-quality lyrics. Update: I’m still not a huge fan of the guy’s music, but his love songs about her did help him earn a Grammy nom and a sold-out world tour.
But alas, Benson and Maggie broke up in September after nearly two years of dating. At the time, the singer seemed to reference the breakup during a mid-concert reflection. “Sometimes people leave your life,” he said. “Whether it’s the right thing or the wrong thing. And it is always hard, always, every single time.” Benson emphasized that it “sucks.”
The reason for their split wasn’t initially revealed, but more clues are coming to light now… and it seems messy. Maggie low-key accused Benson of cheating, and there are (unconfirmed) rumors that he did so with his childhood friend, Kylee Anderson. Did Benson Boone really cheat on Maggie Thurmon? Here’s what we know so far.

Did Maggie Thurmon Accuse Benson Boone Of Cheating On Her?
In a now-deleted TikTok, Maggie seemed to subtly hint at what led to their breakup. She lip-synced to an audio from The Office where Pam asks Kelly, “Remember how it felt when he cheated on you?” and she responds, “Which time?” Oof. And that’s not all… When one fan commented on the video, “bro if benson cheated i will turn this car right around,” Maggie (allegedly) replied, “Put your blinker on babe.”
The video is gone and Maggie hasn’t shared any more details, so this is still just a rumor.

Who is Kylee Anderson?

Enter: Kylee Anderson, who’s apparently Benson’s childhood best friend from Utah. According to E! News, when Benson and Maggie unfollowed each other, they also both unfollowed Kylee.
And in August, Kylee dropped a verrrry interesting song titled “BENNY.” She sings, “We said we’d be best friends / Now we make out in my Mustang all day / Might be more than just a friend.” Oh! It’s all about being in love with your bestie who has a GF. And to make matters worse, the dude in the video is pretty much Benson’s clone.
In an IG comment, Kylee claimed the song is about “my experience with my best friend who I fell in love with and he ended up getting a gf and expected me to be friends with her.” Hmmm.
Well, this is all very sus, but the cheating rumor hasn’t been confirmed by anyone involved. Stay tuned for updates.
