Andy Cohen addresses rumors he’s ‘sleeping’ with John Mayer once and for all
Andy Cohen is clearing the air about his alleged romantic relationship with John Mayer.
While talking to the Hollywood ReporterCohen, 55, addressed speculation that he and the “Your Body is a Wonderland” singer, 46, are in a secret relationship.
“Let them speculate! I honestly love John Mayer and he loves me,” Cohen said in the story published Wednesday. “But because we’re so affectionate with each other, people don’t know which box to put that in. They assume we’re sleeping with each other, which we definitely aren’t.”
Cohen previously shared that the two are “so in love” with each other while discussing their friendship on SiriusXM’s “The Howard Stern Show.”
“I’m in love with John Mayer,” Cohen said during the June 2023 episode. “We’re in love with each other.”
The talk show host also previously described his connection with the singer as an “unlikely friendship” in a 2015 Entertainment Weekly story.
In the article, “The Real Housewives” executive producer talked about his “euphoric” dance session at a gay nightclub with Mayer during their joint trip to see the Grateful Dead perform.
Gossip about the pair’s bond increased after Mayer serenaded Cohen in 2018 with her rendition of “It’s My House” by Diana Ross, one of Cohen’s favorite artists, on his 50th birthday.
“Best birthday ever,” Cohen said afterward, planting a kiss on Mayer’s lips.
Mayer doubled down on her love for Cohen in a heartfelt Instagram post celebrating his birthday.
“I love you and you are such a special person that I’m sure you are known throughout the universe,” the songwriter wrote in the June 2018 post. “See you tonight 🎈 ♥.”
Speaking to CNN in 2018, Cohen admitted that he completely understands why fans think they are a couple.
“Listen, we have a really sweet friendship and we’re together all the time,” Cohen said at the time. “I guess I wasn’t surprised because we also have a great love for each other. So it seems like an obvious assumption.”
