In a recent episode of “Call Her Daddy,” Andy Cohen, the renowned Bravo executive, shared humorous and candid details about his longstanding friendship with musician John Mayer. The two have been friends for over a decade, and during the interview with host Alex Cooper, Cohen disclosed some of the playful antics that occur during their nights out together.
Cohen described how their evenings typically kick off with dinner, where they have a tradition of sitting on the same side of the booth—though he clarified that they don’t hold hands. As the night progresses, however, things tend to get more affectionate. “As a matter of fact, we were at The Sunset Tower last week, and I was getting so physical with him by the end that he was like, ‘Andy,’” Cohen recounted, adding that he was using Mayer as a prop to tell a story. “We were in a puddle of laughter,” he noted, underscoring the deep bond they share. “We love each other deeply; we actually do!”
When pressed about whether he harbors romantic feelings for Mayer, Cohen confidently stated, “No, we love each other. If I could find a gay guy that was him, it would be magic.” He further expressed his gratitude for the unique love they share. This friendship has often sparked rumors, leading Cohen to address public speculation in a May 2024 interview with the Hollywood Reporter, where he remarked, “Let them speculate! I honestly love John Mayer, and he loves me.”
Mayer himself has weighed in on the public's perception of their friendship. He criticized a question posed by the Hollywood Reporter, which suggested that people doubt the possibility of a platonic relationship between a straight man and a gay man. Mayer expressed his belief that such assumptions undermine the public's ability to accept diverse relationships. “To suggest that people are dubious of a friendship like mine and Andy’s is to undermine the public’s ability to accept and understand diversity in all facets of culture,” he explained. He firmly stated, “If someone is dubious of a platonic relationship between a straight man and a gay man, I don’t think that shallow a view deserves clarification.”
During the insightful interview with Cooper, Cohen also touched on his personal life, revealing that he is currently single. He mentioned that he is actively searching for love through dating apps, indicating his openness to finding a meaningful relationship.
In conclusion, the friendship between Andy Cohen and John Mayer serves as a testament to the beauty of platonic relationships, defying conventional norms and showcasing a deep emotional connection that transcends societal labels. Their candid discussions not only entertain but also challenge perceptions, encouraging a broader understanding of friendship and love.
