According to The National Enquirer, Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer are engaged but John is reluctant to actually set a date. They also claim that Aniston is trying to pressure the notorious ladies man to set a date for the wedding by not letting him stay over and absolutely not permitting him to move in. John has two roommates in LA, a married couple, and would probably welcome the change to Aniston’s palatial mansion. That’s not a possibility, though, and she’s supposedly making sure he knows his place:
[Jennifer Aniston] has banned the rocker from living with her until he agrees to set a wedding date, sources say.
“Jen is holding John’s feet to the fire,” a friend of the actress told The Enquirer.
“She made it clear to him over the holidays that it’s all or nothing when it comes to their relationship. Deep down, Jen worries that with John it’s ‘once a player, always a player.’
“This is her way of breaking him of his womanizing ways…”
As The Enquirer exclusively reported in December, Jen revealed to pals that their wedding was back on, with a star-studded ceremony set for later this year.
But while John’s said “yes” to a wedding, “he’s dragging his feet on setting a date,” explained the friend.
“Jen is frustrated. She doesn’t see any other way to get that ring on her finger…
“Jen rarely lets John sleep over at her Hollywood Hills home, and she never allows him to spend the night at her new mansion,” divulged the friend.
“Part of the reason is that she’s a neat freak and John is messy. But the main reason is that Jen hopes the barrier will irritate John and push him to get the ball rolling on their wedding.
“As it stands, even after a romantic night together, Jen often sends John to a nearby hotel, usually the Beverly Hills Hotel. Then they meet up there the next day for brunch.
“John is so frustrated that he’s offered to let Jen move into his home on L.A.’s west side. But Jen is sticking to her guns…
“Jen has told John, ‘Set a date – and you get a set of keys to my home.'”

It sounds like the Enquirer has solid information about how much Mayer stays over, probably from the paparazzi who follow him to his hotel. I can’t see Mayer inviting Aniston to move into his place though due to his roommates, which is something the article failed to mention.
This take on Aniston and Mayer’s relationship is similar to an article in last week’s Life & Style which claimed that they had commitment issues because they stayed in separate nearby resorts during their holiday vacation in Mexico.
I really doubt that these two are engaged or even if the subject of cohabitation has come up. If it’s true that Mayer isn’t staying over Aniston’s house maybe it’s his own choice. A lot of commitment phobe guys don’t like staying over. If Aniston is the one putting her foot down, good for her. Maybe she learned something from working on that He’s Just Not That Into You movie. It’s not like Mayer is about to turn into marriage material with some pressure, though. Do you think they’re even still together? They’ve managed to avoid the paparazzi for almost an entire month.

I don’t believe they ever had a serious relationship.
And I hope, for her sake, that this NE article is pulled out of thin air – Jen is frustrated, dragging his feet, won’t set a date – because it makes her look absolutely, completely and totally desperate.
Another train wreck about to happen.
I don’t think this story is true. However, I am waiting for Jen to start shooting with Gerald Butler and they get it on. Now that would be one cool couple.
Somehow I just can’t see her doing that. It just doesn’t seem like her “laid back” style.
I still think she deserves better than Mayer.
A couple of photos I’ve seen contradict this story:
There was one papparazzi photo of Jennifer arriving at John’s place in LA late at night carrying clothes.
Just before Christmas when they were in New York City, there were photos of Jennifer leaving John’s hotel in the morning after staying over.
The Inquirer quotes the friend as saying John doesn’t stay in either Jennifer’s Hollywood Hills home or her “new mansion” — does this mean she has two houses in LA?
He’s a perfect choice for a child-woman who doesn’t really want to grow up and accept any of the responsibilities that would come with a relationship with a man who wants to settle down and raise a family.
I don’t believe this story, the National Enquirer…come on now…I don’t believe they are engaged..if they were we would have seen a ring by now…I also have seen Jen spend the night at Johns place, pics of her leaving in the morning..I also have seen pics of him leaving early in the morning from her rented beach house…
Am I the only one who can’t look at a single John Mayer picture without thinking this guy is fresh out of his lobotomy surgery? I’m not a fan of Aniston’s (though I don’t hater her either) but I just can’t understand what a woman like her finds in a man like him. Then again, she always has that cat-grin on her face when she’s next to him. That grin always makes me think she’s just so darn happy to have made him get the lobotomy, it says: “he’s all mine now, mwahhahahmmmwwahhahhaah!”. Guess it does take two to tango.
PJ..she has a rented beach house in Malibu, she moved there after she and Brad broke up..and she bought a mansion in the Hollywood hills, near Courtney and Davids house..it took a long time to renovate, but I heard she stays there also…
sounds like a classic booty call to me.
This guy is a CAA beard and there never was a relationship. His payment for pretending is the variety show. She either has someone for real and just uses these types for decoy, or maybe the rumors of her being gay are true and she needs to keep her middle american fan base, who would leave her if they thought she was gay. Just a thought.
Tess: “He’s a perfect choice for a child-woman who doesn’t really want to grow up and accept any of the responsibilities that would come with a relationship with a man who wants to settle down and raise a family.”
I concur Tess. Why doesn’t she just stay barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen where she belongs, amirite? Oh wait, it’s 2009, not 1950, and just because a woman isn’t married and doesn’t have children DOES NOT mean that she doesn’t have any responsibilities. Please. Way to stand up for your fellow [single, child-less] women.
“So what,” thanks for the info. I didn’t realize she had 2 places in L.A.
I know that Jennifer’s fans are fantasizing about her and Gerard Butler.. That ain’t going to happen. She is not his type. I am not a big fan of John’s. I do like a lot of his music and think he is a very talented person. My problem is the people who say that he is not good enough for her.. By what standard. She was a TV star and has made some movies..What else has she done other then being “Rachel” that would warrant her being so above him. He would not be my choice, but he is hers. Her fans should respect that and celebrate their union..
Just saying…
Isn’t it creepy that Jen keeps getting Brad & Angie’s leftovers? Butler was in a Tomb Raider movie with Angie & Vaughn was in Mr & Mrs Smith. Jen must have heard all about them on that movie set from Vince! Whats next? Jen dates Billy Bob?
I’m gonna laugh my ass off when he dumps her LOL she’s so lame.
what the hell do they, especially she, see in one another???? DUH!
Am I the only one that thinks he looks like a scolded child? “yes Mom. I’m sorry Mom…….not HERE MOM.”
He’s never going to grow up. He uses that bright “mind” of his primarily to get laid on the A-list.
Let’s hope she’s not thinking marriage, cause this relationship would not make a good marriage from the get-go if these are the things she has to resort to.
oh…… that’s so bad i love john he’s so hot and a very nice guy, i love to have his body next to mine all night, she dosn’t know what a good thing she has got.
“This is her way of breaking him of his womanizing ways…”
sweet mother of pearl!! good luck to her if she thinks that’s how relationships work.
you can’t break someone of “something”, IMO you either accept your sig other for who they are or learn to live with what it is that makes you crazy. people don’t change (usually) and why drive you or them crazy trying to make it happen?!
Only in the modern world is a man sleeping around on his girlfriend a mortal damnable sin, and a woman sleeping around on her boyfriend a holy statement about her personal freedom.
