Medieval Costumes and Dinner Dates: Are Alix Earle and Benson Boone More Than Friends?

Sometimes a dinner date at a celebrity hotspot is just a dinner date. And sometimes it’s the beginning of something way more interesting. On Thursday, June 18, influencer Alix Earle and“Beautiful Things”singer Benson Boone were spotted leaving Craig’s in Los Angeles together—with Boone opening her car door before driving off. When paparazzi asked if they were dating, Boone quickly shut it down:“Uh, no.”Just hanging out, he clarified.

But here’s where it gets fun. This wasn’t a random meet-cute. Just two days earlier, Boone featured Earle in a TikTok video promoting his upcoming music video for“The Time of My Life,”which drops on June 26. The two were dressed in full medieval garb—Boone in leather pants, a leather vest, and gloves while wielding a sword like a microphone, and Earle in a flowing shirt and corset.“The queen fr,”Boone captioned the cheeky clip, tagging Earle. That kind of on-camera chemistry doesn’t usually happen between strangers.

The playful banter goes even deeper. On June 10, Boone recreated an earlier TikTok post by Earle, wearing a black lace minidress identical to the one she’d worn while frolicking on a yacht. He danced and twirled on a balcony, lip-synching to that same“Time of My Life”track.“This song is going to wreck me,”he wrote in the caption. When Earle had posted her version, she’d simply written,“Release it now plz.”It’s the kind of back-and-forth that hints at inside jokes and mutual interest.

For context: both are recently single. Earle split from NFL player Braxton Berrios in December 2025 after two years together, and was later linked to Tom Brady over New Year’s in St. Barts—though a source confirmed in February that it was casual and neither wanted anything serious. Boone ended his nearly two-year relationship with Maggie Thurmon in September 2025. So the timing for whatever this is happening right now makes sense.

Are they dating? Boone says no. But multiple hangouts, coordinated TikTok content, and that dinner-and-car-ride moment suggest something more than platonic friendship is brewing. Whether it’s a full-fledged romance or just two creatives having fun together on the internet remains to be seen. Either way, the internet is watching—and we’re here for the mystery.
