• Benson Boone hinted at his breakup with Maggie Thurmon several days before news dropped, telling his audience in Nashville "sometimes people leave your life."
  • The "Beautiful Things" singer got choked up ahead of singing "In the Stars."
  • Benson and Maggie dated for three years.

Benson Boone and Maggie Thurmon just split up after three years together, and while the news came out of nowhere when it dropped yesterday, Benson actually...kinda...told everyone on stage a few nights earlier.

Ahead of performing "In the Stars" in Nashville on September 9, Benson told the crowd "Sometimes people leave your life. Whether it's the right thing or the wrong thing. And it is always hard, always, every single time. And it sucks. And it sucks to sit in it, and it sucks to be sad about it, and it sucks to feel that so hard sometimes. But it's okay, it's life. It happens. And as terrible as it is, there's always something or someone who can pull you out of it."

Benson then teared up, saying "I usually say writing this song helps me a lot, but singing this song tonight is going to help me a lot. I hope you enjoy this song tonight because tonight this song means something very special, and I hope you take home something from this night. And if it is this song, if it is any song, let it be the next three and a half minutes because I promise this means everything to me."

TMZ confirmed Maggie and Benson's split after fans noticed that the pair were no longer following each other on social media. Details about why they parted ways are unknown, as a source simply told the outlet they "are no longer together, though it’s unclear what led to the split."
