Are Katy Perry & John Mayer back together for a fourth time?

Katy Perry

So many couples split over the holiday season that I was starting to feel downcast. Some of them have moved on already. Chris Rock ditched his 19-year marriage, and now he’s already partying with a mystery woman on a yacht in St. Barts. I was starting to worry, you know, that love is dead.

Then I heard this news from People: Katy Perry and John Mayer might be back together again. This would be their fourth attempt at a romantic relationship. Sure it won’t last, but it’s great news! I am somewhat entertained by the possibility. These two last broke up in February 2014 after John walked around looking like a caged animal for months. Katy played the ring game but finally had enough after John cheated again. That’s what he does. He couldn’t break up with Katy, and he did something awful to make her dump him. John the coward.

People says these two could be “on” again. There’s a mention of them being “friends,” which sounds sketchy. John doesn’t hang out with girls as friends. There has to be something in it for him. Let’s review People’s take:

Could Katy Perry and John Mayer be heating up again?

Perry, 30, and Mayer, 37, who called it quits last February, were seen together in Beverly Hills over the weekend. It was the first time the former couple had been spotted together publicly since their breakup.

“They’re two very strong-willed people,” a source told PEOPLE at the time. “Despite caring about each other very much and wanting to make it work, they are, at their core, quite different.”

So is their on-and-off relationship back on?

“They actually buried the hatchet a while back, and they are friends,” a Perry source tells PEOPLE, adding that the outing might not necessarily signal a rekindled romance.

“It’s not a surprise they would see each other socially,” the source added. “She’s focused on her career and making herself happy.”

Perry – who most recently has been linked to DJ and producer Diplo – spoke out about her past relationships, and what she’s learned from them, in the October issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

“I had to learn about taking care of myself before I could take care of others,” she said. “I want to mommy everyone. I want to take care of them. I want to save them, and I forget myself in the meantime.”

Reps for Perry and Mayer had no immediate comment.

Ahhhaa. The Mail has exclusive photos of Katy and John together. He reportedly spent the night at her home. This reunion dovetails with John’s airbrush extravaganza and news of a possible Giada De Laurentiis connection. Coincidence? Katy can’t help herself. She loves the doucheboys way too much to stay away. Is she done with DJ Diplo? I checked his Twitter page and see no shade, but he’s on tour in Asia.

Yep, it’s probably on. Please let this reconcilation arrive with more crazy coupley portraits and squirmy, uncomfortable talk show appearances. Make it happen, gossip gods!

    Are you kidding me??? Ugh.

    • Jegede says:

      Its incredible.
      This guy can give press conferences, interviews, sound-bites where he dogs his girlfriend.
      There will be rumours of how he treats them shabbily.
      Yet they all go back to him.

    • xpreson says:

      Boodiba you took the words out of my mouth!. He must have a Golden P***s and know hot to use it very well.

  2. Belle Epoch says:

    Katy wants to “mommy” everyone? I would not have guessed that was what she wanted.

  3. two_seconds_ago says:

    Oh please, no! Not again!

  4. Birdie says:

    Katy, if Cameron can get away from douchebags, you can do it, too! Over in 3.. 2.. 1

    • Artemis says:

      Cameron isn’t Katy’s age though so if she wises up at the same rate as Cameron did, she still has more than a decade to go through a series of douchebags!

  5. MelissaManifesto says:

    I always have the feeling that any relationship with John Mayer is either emotionally exhausting at best or emotionally abusive at the very worst.

    • JH says:

      Nail on the head.

    • Andrea says:

      Couldn’t agree more!

    • QQ says:

      But Apparently full of Good Hard Dong?? because I fail to see why else.. I mean Look at him.. is like He came down with a cold Right after a bout of Jaundice… and then he has the Nerve of being a douchenozzle

      • Christin says:

        Love this description of his sickly appearance.

        With that pallor now, imagine what he’ll look like in a few years.

  6. Mimz says:

    Well.

    Between this and her last two relationships… Im a bit lost here, does she have a type?
    At least JM is cute.
    Even if he’s a jerk.

    • jen says:

      John Mayer being the ‘cute one’ says a lot about her standards…

      She has always had the strangest taste in men, hasn’t she? Kinda makes me wonder if maybe she’s a douche type herself….

      • Mimz says:

        Yeah my point exactly.. shes the common denominator here. Maybe shes a douche…. maybe this is why she doesnt seem to have a lot of girlfriends… or friends for that matter. Her only long-term friendship – celebrity – was rihanna (who also has quite the character) and she publicly sort of dissed her. So… maybe Katy is made of bitchiness?

  7. dragonlady sakura says:

    Cheater personality, arrogant douchey vibe and over inflated sense of self worth…yup, Katy definitely has a type.

    • homegrrrlll says:

      I can commiserate but there comes a time to realize this type of attraction is a like a
      drug. I had to quit cold turkey and feel the “absence” of this type of exciting romance.
      I’ve been off the douchbagery for over a year and if I can she can too! There is so much
      more to life. Now that I’m unhooked on the spikes of emotion that an a-hole can provide,
      maybe there is room for a best friend type man? Sucks to be an addict but would
      suck worse to pump up the ego of a JM misogynistic narcissist type!

  8. Carolina says:

    I can’t believe I forgot about that embarrassing GMA interview.

  9. Birdie says:

    Despite his douchbag ways, he is a very talented musician.

  10. NewWester says:

    Do John or Katy have some project to promote? What better way to draw attention to a project than to have them “date” Also the timing is suspect considering Giada just announced her separation from her husband.
    Maybe John and Katy are not dating, but instead it is John and Giada?

  11. olly says:

    Oh, you crazy kids, just make it work already.

  12. Jess says:

    He lost his appeal when he trashed Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson, and a poster here mentioned him being on a reddit thread so of course I looked it up and got lost in there for hours, but the posts on John were horrifying and exactly the type of douche I pictured him to be. Gross, Katy seems like a nice enough girl, but she must love the drama because I’m sure he’s full of it.

  13. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    What’s that definition of insanity – repeating the same actions over and over and expecting a different result?

    • PunkyMomma says:

      ^This.

    • Christin says:

      It’s bad enough to be blindsided and still repeat a mistake, but to repeatedly do it knowing there is a glaring track record involving many others is beyond insane.

    • Hautie says:

      I have always suspected, that Katy decided she was going to marry Mayer. Just to prove that she could. Not that she should.

      It is that thing a girl gets in her head… that she is the special snowflake. The snowflake that is going to marry the guy, who has shagged all her friends. (Normally the guy is a helluva lot better looking.)

      She knows about how awful he was to every female, he has ever crossed paths with. But she is the one that “gets” him.

      Like it is some prize to marry the sleazy assh*le.

  14. Cali says:

    Katy is just desperate for press and can’t seem to come up with anything else lately to get her name in the news. Maybe she should sing live for us. That’d get her a few headlines for sure.

  15. Alihar999 says:

    Ok….just say no Katy!!!! I have to say as awful as he is…..he must have serious ‘talent’ and charm with the way some of his past women have such a hard time not coming back for more. But Katy…..you deserve much better!!!

  16. Jayna says:

    Nah. Diplo probably dumped her. And it’s rebound with the ex over her bruised ego from Diplo. It will be short-lived.

  17. Blythe says:

    Now, I’m completely convinced that it is because John is laying it down right. That is the only reason. I believe he was 100% finished with Katy and she started being needed as hell, again.

  18. LAK says:

    What *is* it with John Mayer??!!

  19. Anotherdirtymartini says:

    I find John Mayer to be extremely unattractive. And that’s without his personality added to the mix. Personality added? Well, he’s just a POS.

    I wish women would just stop with John Mayer. Blech.

  20. Anotherdirtymartini says:

    Great musician? Sure. That’s not a reason to date someone though.

  21. Michelle says:

    Obviously this is purely my own speculation, but I was always under the impression that Katy was super in love with John Mayer, and I felt that because she seemed very much “herself” with him. Even with Russell Brandt, she would walk around in her costume-like get ups, but with John Mayer she acted so much more like a “normal” girl which deep down I think she is. To me, Katy seems like she is a grown woman still trying way too hard to rebel against her religious parents, but I bet deep down she really just wants to be a “normal” girl and it always seemed to me like he brought that out in her. I’m not surprised at all if their reconciliation is in fact true.
