Singer Benson Boone and social media personality Alix Earle ignited dating speculation Thursday night after being photographed leaving West Hollywood celebrity hotspot Craig’s together. The highly publicized dinner outing arrives just days before Boone’s new single, “The Time of My Life,” is scheduled to drop on June 26, 2026.
While Boone was seen opening the passenger-side car door for Earle, he directly denied the romance rumors when approached by a TMZ photographer outside the venue. Boone stated, “Uh, no,” and insisted the two were “just hanging out.” The singer is currently navigating the singles market following the end of his three-year relationship with Maggie Thurmon less than a year ago.
Inside the restaurant, patrons noted the pair were sitting closely in a booth and reportedly discussing the difficulties of the modern dating scene. Industry sources confirm this outing doubles as a coordinated media crossover, with Earle tapped for an upcoming music video appearance to support Boone’s track.
This physical appearance follows a synchronized online rollout. Boone recently generated heavy social media debate after executing a viral promotional stunt where he wore a sheer black lace mini dress to recreate one of Earle’s popular TikTok videos.
Earle brings her own highly scrutinized romantic history to the crossover project. The influencer was recently linked to Tom Brady following her official split from Braxton Berrios last December.
