Benson Boone and Alix Earle have sent fans into a frenzy after stepping out for a dinner date at celeb hotspot Craig’s restaurant in West Hollywood. The 23-year-old “Beautiful Things” singer and the 25-year-old influencer were spotted leaving the venue together on Thursday night, with Boone gallantly helping Earle into the passenger seat of his truck before they drove off.
The pair’s night out comes just weeks after Earle went viral for a TikTok video in which she dramatically lip-synced along to Boone’s upcoming single “The Time of My Life” while frolicking around a yacht. The Grammy-nominated singer returned the favor by recreating Earle’s video, wearing a similar black lace dress and tagging her in the caption. “This song is going to wreck me,” he wrote, echoing her exact words.
Boone and Earle have been friendly since meeting at last year’s American Music Awards. Their connection has only intensified in recent weeks, with fans spotting a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue featuring Earle in one of Boone’s TikTok videos, a detail that now seems like a deliberate breadcrumb.
When paparazzi caught up with the pair outside Craig’s, Boone was asked point-blank if he and Earle are dating. His response remains open to interpretation. Earle, meanwhile, stayed mum when asked whether she would be Boone’s plus-one to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding celebration at Madison Square Garden on July 3, an event Boone is expected to attend.
Industry sources confirm that Earle is set to star in the music video for Boone’s “The Time of My Life,” which drops June 26 . The singer personally requested her involvement, and she was reportedly all in. While her exact role remains under wraps, insiders say she will have a significant presence in the video.
With new music on the horizon and their public appearances growing more frequent, fans are left wondering: is this a budding romance or simply a creative collaboration? Either way, Benson Boone and Alix Earle are giving the internet plenty to talk about.
