Although Cosmopolitan Australia once reported that Boone was believed to be dating online personality McKinley Richardson, the news was never confirmed by either side. However, Benson was performing in 2024 when he reportedly met someone from his past. Boone paused his performance to know the woman’s identity and recognized her as the person he had known during his childhood. According to Elle, Benson recalled his time with the woman by saying:
“Bro, I dated you in eighth grade. I think you were in eighth grade; I was in seventh grade. That’s crazy! I hope you’re doing well.”
In 2024, Benson also released a single, Beautiful Things. The song was believed to be inspired by his love life, as he told Billboard that he felt like he was out of control of the way the relationship turned out in the end.
