Rumors are swirling again in the celebrity world—this time around John Mayer. The Grammy-winning guitarist was reportedly seen spending time with influencer Kat Stickler in New York City, not once but twice over the weekend.
Celebrity gossip source Deuxmoi shared on October 12 that the pair were spotted on two consecutive nights, first at an exclusive members-only club on Friday and then at Flyfish Club on Saturday. An image posted online appeared to show John Mayer and Kat Stickler sitting side-by-side in a private booth, deep in conversation.
Adding to the intrigue, Stickler recently followed the musician on Instagram—something fans quickly noticed.
Neither John Mayer nor Kat Stickler has commented publicly on the rumors. Still, the internet hasn’t missed a beat. Stickler, 30, is known for her candid lifestyle videos and shares a daughter, MK, with her ex-husband Mike Stickler.
Earlier this year, she quietly “soft-launched” a relationship with a mystery man but has since kept her romantic life under wraps. Before that, she dated Bachelor alum Jason Tartick for six months, announcing their amicable breakup in October 2024.
For his part, John Mayer, 47, confirmed he was single during a live taping of SiriusXM’s SmartLess Live podcast in June. Chatting with hosts Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes, the Slow Dancing in a Burning Room singer joked, “I’m a single person. I’m a catch.”
When Bateman asked if he saw marriage in his future, John Mayer replied, “Absolutely.”
Over the past year, John Mayer has become more reflective about love and commitment. He told the podcast audience that he wouldn’t date anyone unless the relationship had “upward mobility toward marriage.”
“Every girlfriend would be a potential wife at this point,” he said, adding that he now values emotional maturity more than fame or flash.
On another podcast earlier in 2024, Mayer told Kelly Rizzo that “being relied on is the hottest thing in the world.” He also admitted he thinks “being behaved is the hottest s— in the world,” signaling how much his perspective has evolved since his early-2000s rock-star days.
Fans in the U.S. have been quick to weigh in. Some are thrilled that John Mayer might have found new love, while others are skeptical, noting that Deuxmoi’s tips often walk the line between rumor and reality.
Whether this is a brief connection or the start of something serious, the timing is intriguing. Both John Mayer and Kat Stickler have spoken about personal growth and wanting deeper relationships—making their rumored pairing one to watch closely.
As October 2025 unfolds, one thing’s for sure: John Mayer remains as captivating offstage as he is on it.
