Benson Boone fast became a trending topic on Sunday night after he caught the attention of Jennifer Lopez and many others at the 2025 Grammys. The singer-songwriter, 22, delivered a racy performance of his hit Beautiful Things which included a playful strip tease with help from Heidi Klum and Nikki Glaser. Lopez, who is fresh off her divorce from Ben Affleck, had a flirty interaction with the singer after Boone appeared to sensually drag his finger along her shoulder as he sang next to her.

The Monster In Law star broke into a huge grin after Boone made the move, and continued to make eye contact as he moved across the room. Lopez, 55, was then seen enthusiastically dancing along while he sang, before notably standing to clap after the performance. However, for all those who might have developed a new crush, Boone is very much a taken man.

Last night was incredible, you are incredible. Congratulations congratulations!!'.

Kaysee? From middle school?". 'What are the odds of that? Very good to see you Kaysee, I hope you're doing well.'.

'Benson was very funny, very outgoing,' she explained. 'Just had a whole lot of personality which he still does to this day and that's something that I was highly attracted to at that time.'. She added that the pair had a 'innocent,' 'short-lived' relationship and they would text back and forth after school, 'hold hands,' walk to class together and 'hug.'. Kaysee confirmed that she broke up with him because she was nervous about dating behind her parents' back, and she was also nervous about the fact he seemed to want to kiss 'and I was too nervous to do that.'.
