Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer are often forgotten as one of the A-list couples of the noughties, dating from 2008 to 2009 after meeting at an Oscars party. And while their break up was 12 years ago (yes, it really has been that long), John’s comments about their split have recently resurfaced
In 2010, Swift penned “Dear John,” a not-so-subtle breakup anthem detailing a romance with an older man. (When they were rumored to be dating, the Pennsylvania native was 19 and Mayer was 32.)
Katy Perry and John Mayer dated soon after her divorce to Russell Brand in 2012. They were together for three years until they broke up in 2015. A year later, Katy started dating Orlando Bloom in 2016 and they got engaged in 2019. The happy couple had a baby in 2020 named Daisy Dove Bloom.
Mayer’s vocal chords were damaged by a growth two years ago, but have healed after a series of treatments including surgery and Botox injections. In this preview of their conversation, Mayer talks with Ari Shapiro about what it was like to get his voice back.
Singer-songwriter John Mayer is recovering after having vocal cord surgery, his representative said Friday. It was his second surgery to remove granuloma on his vocal cords. Mayer had the first surgery last fall, as he was in production on his current album, “Born and Raised.” He scrapped a summer tour to recover.
Simpson and Mayer dated from 2006 to 2007, as per HuffPost. In 2010, he shared intimate details of their relationship with Playboy intimate details of their relationship.
In response, Katy said, “I feel like maybe you should Wikipedia me…. I can’t talk anymore. I’m triggered!” She then slid out of her chair while everyone laughed, and said, “Who is going to pay for my extra hour of therapy?” (Note: She also called John a “great artist” with a “great song,” so no hard feelings!)
Although they split nearly three years ago, the 34-year-old singer (whose exes also include Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Love Hewitt) penned his single “Shadow Days” (from the album Born and Raised) with Aniston, 43, in mind. “Shadow Days is about Jen,” a source tells Us Weekly.
Without including the ones who have not been confirmed to have been dating her, Taylor Swift has had 9 boyfriends.
A source told E! News that there is nothing romantic about their relationship and that Mayer is still single. That’s not enough to stop speculation though. Fans have also noticed that both Mayer and David frequently like one another’s posts on Instagram. This is far from their only social media interaction.

Katy Perry and John Mayer famously split after dating on and off for two years, and the news that he is her best lover to date is too much for fans to take. Allegedly, the famous pair broke things off for being too different, as reported by People in 2016.
So fans have speculated that this song may be about one of such individuals, Jennifer Aniston or maybe another, Katy Perry, even though “Heartbreak Warfare” came out before Perry and Mayer dated. And whereas some seem especially convinced that it is about Aniston, John himself has clarified that such is not the case.
JOHN MAYER: ‘HEARTBREAK WARFARE IS NOT ABOUT JENNIFER ANISTON‘ John Mayer has dismissed reports new song Heartbreak Warfare is all about his ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, but confesses much of his new album contains reference to his romance with the actress.
