Andy Cohen’s friendship with John Mayer knows no bounds.
Cohen, 57, told “Call Her Daddy” host Alex Cooper that a “typical” night out with Mayer, 48, is the two of them going out to dinner.
“We always sit on the same side of the booth. We sit next to each other, always,” Cohen said during the podcast’s Wednesday, October 29 episode. “That is our spot.”
They do not hold hands but “as the night goes on,” Cohen admitted to “sinking into” Mayer. “He’ll have his arm around me,” the Watch What Happens Live host added.
Cohen then admitted to getting “so physical” with Mayer during a recent night out.
“I was, kind of, using his body to tell a story about a guy,” Cohen explained. “I was in my cups a little bit. We were in a puddle of laughter.”
Cohen said that Mayer — someone who he said he loves “deeply” — over the years is the blueprint for what he wants in romantic relationships as well.
“If I could find a gay guy that was him, it would be magic,” he added. “I am so grateful for the love that we have.”
Elsewhere in the episode, Cohen even revealed that he and Mayer discussed “Call Her Daddy” on a recent phone call. (Mayer went on the podcast in December 2022, and has stayed friends with Cooper.)
“We FaceTimed yesterday,” Cohen said. “He’s like, ‘You’re going to be great.’ He goes, ‘Go deliver.’ He was like, ‘You know what you’re doing.’”
This friendship has made many headlines over the years, with Cohen even telling Entertainment Weekly in 2015 that it is an unexpected bond.
“John Mayer and I have what some would consider an unlikely friendship,” Cohen said at the time. “He’s one of our greatest living guitarists, and I’m regarded as the dude that stirs the s*** on late-night TV.”
Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper share everything from identical initials to similar professions, which makes it easy to see why the twosome are best friend goals. Cohen and Cooper met in the early ’90s when they were almost set up on a blind date. However, the pair’s dynamic never became romantic because Cohen broke Cooper’s […]
Cohen has been asked about the nature of their relationship during several interviews over the years. Mayer even clapped back at The Hollywood Reporter in 2024, condemning “intense speculation” about their friendship.
“I read your interview with Andy Cohen, and was intrigued by your line of questioning regarding our friendship,” Mayer wrote in May 2024, after the profile was released. “People seem dubious that a straight rock star can have a close platonic relationship with a gay TV personality.’ I think this is somewhat of a specious premise.”
Mayer added that there is “a long and storied history” of straight musicians “befriending gay icons and artists,” explaining that their “platonic relationship” does not need to be clarified publicly.
“I think that 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, be it in art or in real life,” Mayer added. “I’d like to think they’re sophisticated enough to see a relationship like ours without assuming it must include a sexual component. That turns the concept of being gay into an ignorantly two-dimensional one, which I know you know it’s not. I don’t question that at all.”
