John Mayer’s relationship history
The New Light singer has shared relationships with several who’s who of the entertainment industry throughout his career. His first high-profile romance supposedly kicked off in 2002 with Ghost Whisperer star Jennifer Love Hewitt.

However, Mayer debunked these dating rumors by stating that the song was about his first non-famous girlfriend.
His first confirmed relationship with a celebrity commenced in 2006, alongside fellow singer Jessica Simpson. The duo reportedly dated for a year before calling it quits in 2007. Mayer later shared several aspects of their link-up, including their sexual chemistry, in an interview with Playboy. His controversial comments during the discussion ultimately led Simpson to delete his number permanently.
Minka Kelly was the next superstar to date John Mayer. Their reported romance was brief and concluded in 2007 itself. He subsequently formulated a connection with Friends actress Jennifer Aniston, which lasted from 2008 to 2009. In a Playboy interview, Mayer later reflected on his time with Aniston, stating that he would “always be sorry that it didn’t last.” (via Marie Claire)
Arguably, his most high-profile romance began in 2009 with Taylor Swift. Their relationship attracted much attention, specifically due to their significant age gap. At the time of their relationship, Mayer was 32, while Swift was just 19. It is widely accepted that Swift’s 2010 single Dear John was aimed at her time with the Connecticut-born musician.
John Mayer’s last known dating adventure involved singer Katy Perry. The duo shared an intermittent romance that lasted four years between 2012 and 2016.
