‘Didn’t know you were built like that’

Benson Boone has shown off his wild body transformation as he’s thrown himself into getting fit following his recent break-up.

Boone sent fans into a frenzy on Thursday when he posted a shirtless picture of himself posing with a male pal at the gym after a workout.

The singer flashed his washboard abs and toned muscles as he looked into the camera while his friend snapped the picture.

Fans raced to the comments to share their admiration for the singer and flood his social media with thirsty responses.

“Benson I didn’t know you were built like that,” remarked one fan.

“I genuinely can’t handle this what are you doing,” wrote another, while a third joked: “Hurry up and come home to me already.”

Boone and his girlfriend Maggie Thurmon broke up following more than a year of dating, earlier this month.

The influencer took to TikTok recently to share how she’s been handling life since their surprise split.

“Something happened,” she said. “And I am now touching grass at my parents’ house in Georgia.”

Thurmon continued: “I don’t know if anyone else has experienced this: I’ve been struggling to pick up a book because I feel like now whenever I pick up a book I can’t stop thinking. Like, the things that are currently making me sad, the things I’m overthinking, the things I, like, can’t get out of my brain — I haven’t been able to push them aside long enough to get into a story.”

Benson and Maggie, both 23, first went public with their romance in March 2024, when they attended the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Academy Awards viewing party in West Hollywood.

Boone first publicly hinted at the break-up during a concert, telling the audience that “sometimes people leave your life.”

Some insiders suggested that the split may have been difficult to navigate due to Boone’s busy touring career.

Fans then noticed that Boone and Thurmon were no longer following each other on Instagram, and both had removed photos of the other from their feeds.
