Andy Cohen is putting an end to rumors suggesting a romantic relationship with musician John Mayer, emphasizing their deep friendship and affectionate bond.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published on May 8, the Watch What Happens Live host clarified their relationship, stating,
“I honestly love John Mayer, and he loves me. But because we’re so affectionate toward each other, people don’t know what box to put that in. They assume we’re sleeping with each other, which we are most definitely not.”
Inside Andy Cohen and John Mayer’s Close Bond
This is not the first time Cohen has addressed speculation about their relationship. He previously stated on The Howard Stern Show that they have never been involved romantically, though he expressed admiration for Mayer, saying,
“I am in love with John Mayer. We are in love with each other.”
Explaining the nature of their friendship, Cohen highlighted Mayer’s emotional depth and their close bond. “John Mayer is someone who is very in touch with his emotions,” Cohen explained on Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi in December 2022.
“He very quickly in our friendship started saying, ‘You know what, I gotta tell you something—I love you.'”
Despite the rumors, their friendship remains strong. Mayer honored Cohen during his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in February 2022.
“I love Andy more than I can tell you,” Mayer said. “He’s a brilliant human being, a hilarious cohort, a loving son and brother—and more recently, he’s become a proud, engaged and deeply devoted father. He’s an incredible and mystifying combination of traits—traits you’d normally have to find in six to 10 other already rare human beings.”
As they continue to navigate public scrutiny, Andy Cohen and John Mayer’s friendship serves as a reminder that love can take many forms, transcending romantic boundaries.
