Singers Benson Boone and Maggie Salmon were first spotted together in March 2024, and just over a year later, the former couple called it quits.
Salmon confirmed that she and the “Beautiful Things” singer went their separate ways in October 2025, insinuating that Salmon had cheated on her in a since-deleted TikTok video.
Boone’s ex-girlfriend, who was born in Atlanta, rose to TikTok fame in 2019 after frequently posting videos of her dancing with her father. Since then, Salmon has appeared in movies and continues to spread joy through his podcast and social media platforms.
It’s unclear when Boone and Salmon met, but they appeared together in public many times during their relationship, including Boone winning Best Alternative Video at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. The former couple also shared glimpses of their daily lives on each other’s social media accounts.
Salmon was by Boone’s side when he made his first appearance on Saturday Night Live in May 2025. After Boone’s performance, he was photographed attending an afterparty in New York City.

Salmon is best known for TikTok, which she started creating in 2019, but her social media career began when she was chosen to be a brand ambassador for Hollister, which inspired her to continue her social media career, according to her podcast website Wholesome Chaos.
She first went viral for a video of her dancing with her father, and has since started filming other fun content with her family and friends. He can also be seen trying new things, such as riding a unicycle on a skateboard and flipping over a diving board. Thurman has more than 5 million fans on TikTok.
Boone has also gained millions of fans on social media by sharing his original music. In 2021, he left American Idol shortly after entering the Top 24 and signed with Knight Street Records.

In September 2024, Boone and Salmon walked the red carpet at the VMAs, where they were photographed kissing. Earlier this month, the pair attended the Tommy Hilfiger New York Fashion Week show together, wearing striped shirts and sunglasses.

Her father is a professional speaker and author who has been inducted into the Speakers Hall of Fame.
They reportedly broke up in September 2025
Rumors surfaced in September that Salmon and Boone had gone their separate ways, but she appeared to confirm their relationship was over a month later in a since-deleted TikTok video.
In the video, Salmon lip-syncs to the audio from the office as Pam asks Kelly, “Do you remember how you felt when he cheated on you?” Kelly replied, “When?”
A screenshot of comments on the post shared online shows one person commenting on the video: “If Benson cheats, I’m going to turn this car around.” Salmon replied, “Wear your blinkers, baby.”
