People semi-confirms John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston reconciliation

oscars vanity fair 2 230209

It’s Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer: the third installment. According to both People Magazine and US Weekly, the pair have rekindled their romance, and were even spotted together at a New York City hotel late in September. Jennifer and John have had a very up and down romance in the past. He was constantly over-twittering (over-tweeting?), and supposedly that played a key part in their breakup. Well, along with his being a general douche, which tends to lead to heartbreak as well. There’s really no word on how the two reconnected, and the official line is how they’re just “enjoying their friendship.” If I enjoyed the company of my friends in that way, I’d be one exhausted girl. I’m just saying.

It’s not the first time Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer have reunited after a split, but the couple are simply “enjoying their friendship,” says a source close to the singer. “They’ve been talking for a while – they’re very friendly.”

Adds another source, “They’ve remained close.”

The duo recently spent a night together late last month at New York City’s Bowery Hotel. “Jen was there on the arm of John and they were all very lovey,” says an onlooker. “She was in casual clothing as was he, and she seemed very comfortable around his crowd of friends.”

Aniston, 40, and Mayer, 31, first called it quits in August 2008, only to reunite months later for a short time – and then split once again in March after a very public appearance together at the Oscars.

At the time of their most recent split, a source told PEOPLE, “Jen got her feelings very hurt and she is done with John for good. They have no contact for now.”

Reps could not be reached for comment.

You know that if People’s reporting it, then it’s been celebrity –sanctioned. That doesn’t mean they’re going to go on the record, but I’m positive this came from Aniston’s rep, despite the little “no comment” at the end. I don’t know if John Mayer even has one, since he seems to let his big mouth do most of the talking. According to Lainey at Lainey Gossip, Us Weekly is reporting the exact same thing as People. US also says they’re trying to keep the romance on the down low, but considering it’s being carried by the two biggest celebrity magazines, that’s hard to believe.

Don’t really know what to say about this one. I don’t dislike Aniston by any means, but I do dislike John Mayer. And more specifically, I distrust him. A lot of people thought he was just using Jen for the free PR and the ability to get TMZ to follow him around. Considering he’s got a promotional tour coming up, the timing sure seems advantageous for him. And while I reject the notion that Aniston is just desperate to get married (thus John Mayer not being marriage material isn’t relevant in my opinion), it’s still a relationship that isn’t going anywhere. Once you get into that breaking up/getting back together cycle, it just repeats itself over and over again. You’re stuck in a loop instead of moving forward. I’d like to think that Jen is protecting her heart this time around, but something tells me if that were the case, she wouldn’t be with John at all. Frankly I think there are about a bazillion guys out there who’d be better for her.

Here’s Jen and John walking the red carpet at the Oscars and at Vanity Fair’s party afterwards on February 22nd. Images thanks to WENN.com.

    Jen is addicted to little John why else would she be with this jerk. I’ve been there , sometimes the sex is sooo goood.Sorry I had a flashback. Got to go

  2. Firestarter says:

    Count down to the Pathetic Jen Hen comments 10-9-8…..

    She was also supposedly seen with Pitt, Butler, and Astro, from The Jetson’s recently on romantic dates.

    People isn’t exactly correct all of the time either.

  3. BitterBetty says:

    Well, good luck with all that.

  4. Cheyenne says:

    Oh hell… maybe she just wants to get laid.

  5. moo says:

    Jeez… she must be getting desperate!

  6. Praise St. Angie! says:

    ha! BitterBetty, you summed it up for me, too.

    I like her OK, but jeezum crow, girl, this one ain’t a good one!

  7. BitterBetty says:

    Not as desperate as him.

  8. Rosalee says:

    If it’s true and I really hope it’s not..let’s stage an intervention..lock her in a room and make her watch Steel Magnolias, Thelma and Louise and Under the Tuscan Sun for 72 hours feed her nothing but pizza, cheese cake, and tequila
    and then we collectively vote to ban all individuals named douches named John/Jon from this site…

  9. nanster says:

    Why? I just don’t get it…

  10. princess pea says:

    It’s totally possible that when he shuts up and gets naked good things happen. I won’t fault a single girl for getting her jollies.

    We’ll see what happens, but I never bought the spin that he broke her heart in the first place.

  11. Linda says:

    He could be great in bed…if I were in Jen’s position – I’d keep someone like Mayer on the hook if he were great in bed…heck Clooney does it all the time!

  12. Prissa says:

    “…and Astro, from The Jetson’s…” LOL! I like that Firestarter.

  13. Lee says:

    Ya know, I don’t hate him as much as others here seem to, and I was actually disappointed when they split. They obviously have some chemistry going on, and she’s a big girl who can look after herself. After all, she’s built a pretty respectable nest egg with her career, like her or not. She’s probably got the upper hand in this relationship, which is not a bad thing to have. I hope she’s having fun!

  14. andrea says:

    i just feel like it would be embarrassing to be linked to him. i mean, would i want to be known as the girl who thinks it’s a great idea to date/pork the guy who gave that moronic forced sodomy interview? not really, no.

  15. Eileen Yover says:

    It had to be just a bootycall…..maybe she was bored.
    That guy. Is. Gross.

  16. princess pea says:

    See andrea, I was one of those who thought that interview was funny. It was bonus point for him, actually. So I guess it’s all relative.

  17. Beth says:

    Yes there’s going to be “pathetic, desperate Jennifer” comments. If this is true it really is pathetic. Good musician but John sucks. He obviously loves the attention considering he gave a press conference after the first breakup and dumped her again right after Oscars. How lonely and desperate must you be to go for round 3? It also could be a stunt on Jennifer’s part. When they were together she loved the attention. For her, Jennifer talked/joked with the paps a lot.

  18. Cheyenne says:

    @ Lee: Any woman who lets herself get publicly dumped and dissed not once, but twice, doesn’t have the upper hand in the relationship. Would YOU got back to a guy who treated you like that? I sure wouldn’t.

    @ Rosalee: Sounds like a plan.

  19. Icecat says:

    I thought the interview was funny too! I don’t know that much about Mayer, but I’m also under the impression that Jen has the upper hand with him. I don’t really mind these two as a couple..
    You never know!
    I also do not buy into the whole “Jen is so lonely and desperate” crap. She is a beautiful rich woman who probably has a lot of fun. I can hardly see her crying in her pillow every night.

  20. Loser1 says:

    *maybe* she doesnt care what people say about her or what it looks like. if i were jen, i wouldnt care. dont judge people’s relationships by whats said by the media.

  21. thedomesticgoddess says:

    She’s got money, fame, and she’s single. If she wants a booty call albeit with him (ick) who cares?

  22. Lee says:

    @Cheyenne, I really felt that his public “dissing” was more about trying to get some leverage back, and not really a reflection of what went down. I think he felt powerless and was hitting back (verbally, let me be clear) to try and maintain his pride. So, I still think she has the upper hand…

    BTW, a lot of young men begin relationships in an immature place, but over time grow into men worth keeping. They grow up. Maybe that’ll happen here.

  23. birdie says:

    @ Linda, the Clooney metaphor is flawed… He always dumps the cocktail waitresses, if he keeps them around for sex it’s because those women are rather pathetic starf*ckers… meanwhile Jen is back with a guitar-weilding famous-in-his-own-right douche bag who not once, but twice dumped her publicly and twittered all about his feelings both on the internet and to the press.

    I hope Jen dumps him publicly and says something gross about it like “I hadn’t realized his penis was so small and crooked”… It would be a nice turn of the tides and would serve John right.

  24. Zarah says:

    Wow, she really hasn’t learned her lesson has she? And she wonders why people still go on about ‘poor Jen’. Getting back with the dude who said some uncomplimentary things about you and made sure everyone knew he dumped you, not once but TWICE is really not the best idea. But good luck to her. Even though we all know how this is going to end. AGAIN.

  25. Roma says:

    Thank god there aren’t cameras or magazines to catch my booty call moments with some of my exes. I agree Eileen – I bet she was bored.

  26. nnn says:

    Oh boy, Golden shower is back on. Maybe she needs extra therapy…

  27. TwinkleToes says:

    Firestarter, Astro! Thanks. I heard Dino from the Flinstones is seeing red.

    This cannot be true. Jennifer, what ever you feel you have done, move on and forgive yourself. Even Wiley Coyote can do better than JM. I agree with most posters here. JM IS an emotional abuser. He’s passive aggressive and his New York apartment is cold and sterile just like his soul. His mother must be a real winner.

  28. Juice In LA says:

    Ok, finally a moment to praise the writers at Celebitchy. As a new follower, I latched on here because of the opinions of the staff writers. Smart, insightful and totally aligned with the things I think. Thanks for existing!!

  29. Liz says:

    I thought she was ready to be a mom I don’t see John as daddy material

  30. Cinderella says:

    “I used her, she used me, neither one cared…we were getting our share.”

  31. Kiki says:

    She had to get back together with him.
    After you get those kind of stds, other guys stay away. haha I’m sorry, but he’s just gross and she is as dumb as box of rocks. She may be rich and famous, but she has some serious screws missing from the brain unit.

  32. N.D. says:

    Don’t think her heart was involved that much even the first time around. He’s rumored to be good in bed, good for her that she can get him in hers when she wants it.

  33. ano says:

    They are not back together, they are just friends, her rep denied see gossip cop

  34. Samantha says:

    Maybe “Who Says” was a love song for her.

  35. Kiki says:

    Liz: Jen ready to be a mom? No way. I know she’s been saying that for 10yrs, but I bet it’s bs cooked up for her fans. No sane person would put their eggs in John Mayer’s basket. Can you imagine having his little douches and douchettes? All his babies would pop out with a snide smirk on their face, making lame, “I’m so funny!” sarcastic comments.

  36. Cheyenne says:

    This could be another Huvane plant-and-deny stunt. She’s been MIA for a while.

  37. Maritza says:

    Here we go again! What new movie is she trying to plug now? This is all part of her public relations stunt.

  38. Mimi says:

    So let me get this straight when he dumps her his a douche and she “deserved” BETTER and WILL get better man’s that will love her and respect her and bla bla bla bla for the rest of their life’s bla bla bla children bla bla bla. When shes single she just want live her life bla bla bla we shouldn’t criticize her for the way that she lives bla bla is her choice bla bla bla stereotype of the way woman should live bla bla bla she is strong woman bla bla bla wants have fun bla bla bla.
    Sorry but she have only 2 problem that is absence of pride and own love, unless u don’t have does things u probably will never come back to a guy that bad mouth u on ur “neighborhood” and even if u are STUPID enough to give him another chance after the first time u will need to be REALLY DUMB to make this huge mistake again… FOOL ME ONCE SHAME ON U FOOL ME TWICE SHAME ON ME FOOL ME TREE TIMES IN A ROW… (damn i must be the queen of dumb: is like…type… “serioooooooously”…duhhh)

  39. lisa says:

    OH BOY.. I hope it is true.. for many reasons.. LOL.

    but hey it could just be me.

  40. PJ says:

    It’s quite plausible they are hanging out again. Mayer says his new album is all about heartbreak–it’s basically admitting that he was heartbroken after the breakup with JA last spring.

    The media always goes overboard with any Jennifer news. Remember last summer, Jennifer had ONE dinner with Bradley what’s-his-name and it actually made the cover of some magazines?

    I’m not impressed with US Weekly’s reporting. They claim JA/Mayer broke up last January — wrong — even I know that the Oscars were Feb. 22 and they were all lovey dovey then.

    The rumors were from Mayer’s friends, by the way, not Jennifer’s.

  41. Westender says:

    I sometimes wonder if all these reports of Jennifer dating all these actors is just a smokescreen and she is actually dating someone behind the scenes? Look at Julia Roberts, she dated a few actors and also was married to Lyle Lovett, but ended up marrying a cameraman.

  42. Ana says:

    They are a weird couple. Not just because they are always breaking up and getting back together but because they are an odd match.

    I think they use each other for publicity. Her last movie bombed.
    He’s got an album dropping next month about her.

  43. jann says:

    jennifer is stupid, dumb and desperate, i don’t care how much money she has, she got that because she was married to the biggest Hollywood star, like it or not he was and still is brad Pitt.

  44. ano says:

    @jann uhhh you forgot that jen was on a hit show for ten years? she was rich and famous before him and btw her rep denied it they are just friends

  45. Who Cares says:

    I bet they’re just friends with benefits. I don’t think it was ever a serious relationship. There’s nothing wrong with a mutually agreed to booty call between single adults, but why don’t they just keep it to themselves.

  46. Firestarter says:

    @Jann- She was on Friends for years, earning tons of bank before she hooked up with Pitt, so your statement is wrong.

    How is she dumb and desperate? Is that a fact or just your opinion?

  47. la chica says:

    this is what Lainey calls a shamef**k. lol!!!

  48. gg says:

    They’re just horny. He’s too young and immature for her.

  49. Charity is Chic says:

    For all those who say she is promotign a movie, she doesn’t have any movies coming out for the rest of the year.

    George Clooney on the other hand, has a new girlfriend. that he got just in time for the three has has coming out this fall. Why is everything Jen does a PR stunt from a desperate, lonely woman and everything Clooney does is considered AWESOME! What kind of a sick world do we live in where that’s OK.

  50. hello! says:

    Your question is a joke, right Charity?

    I don’t remember Clooney crying in an interview after his failed marriage. No pity parties, or “I’m fine” tours on Oprah. No my ex’s new girlfriend is so uncool. No Mayer and I adore one another interviews.

    George doesn’t really discuss his private life. The guy was married once and decided it wasn’t for him. Now, he’s playing the field. Jen, on the other hand, is getting played.

    But, she brought it on herself with all her comments about finding true love, I’m still a romantic, and somewhere the father of my kids is walking around. She invited the world into her relationships, and when you do that, you get burned.

  51. Zooni says:

    Precisely hello!, well said. Why doesn’t she just shut up about her life and relationships? How do other credible, successful actresses do it? Or if you’re going to talk about it, don’t turn around and complain that the media is after you and they’ve got you all pegged wrong. AFTER you’ve given numerous quotes and gone on talk shows saying the same thing over and over again.

  52. Granger says:

    You know, people DO change. Maybe after their second break-up John realized how much he cares for Jen. It IS possible.

    Having said that, even if he had changed, I wouldn’t take him back. I`ve always been the type to pick myself up and move on pretty quickly when a guy does something jerky (and please, blabbing to the press is about as bad as it gets). It says a lot to me about Jen’s self-image if she wants to date a guy like John again. Or maybe she’s just a lot more forgiving than me.

  53. Violet says:

    This has already been debunked by her reps. John Mayer’s single is already at number 2 on the billboard charts so he hardly needs Jennifer for publicity. Besides, John’s fans dont like Jennifer and hate the tabloid infamy he has, the Jen Hen’s already hate John for dumping her twice. It would defeat the object to hook up now for PR.

  54. Jazz says:

    Yawn! I grow weary of these two’s PR shenanigans.

  55. Maritza says:

    Looks like John had lost the paparazzi’s attention, now with Jennifer by his side he’s got them back. The guy is a famewhore. Jen just likes the TLC he gives her.

  56. karen says:

    Someone on D-Listed said it best: “If Jen gets back together with this walking toolshed, then she’s the Michael Phelps of the Desperation Olympics.”

  57. BEEBEEC says:

    I hear Angelina is going to announce she is pregnant again with twins or adopting twins..

  58. waldemar says:

    That was funny. Thank you.

  59. NFLer says:

    She must be hard up to run back to his big wooden ass. Where is the chemistry?

  60. niay says:

    Great CAA pr timing. Hollywood is not about talent any more it’s about pr teams. Pr teams sell your records and keep your name in the media.

  61. EMILY says:

    be honest with you she needs to be with her ex-husband cause they still love each other.brad still loves that woman and she loves him,isn’t he separated now,if so now is her chance,his wife stole him from her now she can win him back.

  62. Cheyenne says:

    Emily, dear, have you been overdosing on tabloids or what? Brad doesn’t love Jen, Jen doesn’t love Brad, they both moved on ages ago, now you grow up and do the same.

  63. I Choose Me says:

    Maybe John Mayer’s just really good in bed.

  64. crash2GO2 says:

    He might be really good in bed, but can’t they keep it at that? Why need to make public statements? I know, I know…. sheesh.

    Can I just say this one thing regarding ‘The Berumuda Triangle’? At the Oscars, Brad wouldn’t hold Angelina’s hand while Jen was up on stage, and while I felt this was sensitive to Jen, it was clearly a sign of disloyalty to Angie. And Angie was not happy about it (arms crossed tight and lips tight in a tense smile). He even had that hand up at his chin where Jen could see it – ‘Look, I’m not holding her hand!’, while at the same time, leaning his upper body and head toward Angie, indicating his closeness to her.

    Wow, talk about mixed messages!

    He’s conflicted and Angie knows it. And it pissed her off. I would say rightly so, but she should have expected something like this considering how it was that they got together.

    *whew* Just had to get that off my chest. Haha

  65. yeah, ok says:

    Crash, I think you have an overactive imagination. Seriously how can you tell all that from a glance on a television moniter? Maybe, you should try getting a job as a tabloid writer. You’d be as good as the rest of them 😉

  66. crash2GO2 says:

    It was more than a glance – I watched it several times and from a couple of different angles. *blush* Plus there were lots of photos.

    I dunno – I’ve always been really good at reading body language and non-verbal cues. I’ve worked with horses and dogs most of my life and maybe that’s part of it.

    He was sending mixed messages. What it all means is open to interpretation. Goodness sakes, this is the trouble I get into for gossiping! lol

  67. dk says:

    crash: nice analysis. I think you may be right about that. Also, I think jennifer is pathetic and desperate. I used to like her and now I can’t stand her.

  68. Giselle says:

    I have had so much respect for her…what a disappointment.

  69. BW says:

    I think JA has a decent sense of humor, and looks for that in others. I think that is one big reason she is attracted JM. I think maybe JM meets a lot of women who don’t have a clue where he’s coming from, and he’s starting to see that JA really “gets” him. Maybe he’s seeing there’s more to their relationship than he bargained for and maybe he shouldn’t let her get away this time. Hopefully he’s maturing a little, realizing all of this? Who knows? JMO
