Notorious Bachelor John Mayer Said He’s Ready To Settle Down: ‘I So Badly Want To Get Married’

Notorious bachelor and rumored lothario John Mayer said he’s ready to settle down and get married.

The 46-year-old singer songwriter has dated many famous women over the course of his career, but so far he hasn’t ever made it down the aisle. The “Gravity” singer revealed his feelings about marriage on the podcast “Comfort Food with Kelly Rizzo,” which is hosted by Bob Saget’s widow, Kelly Rizzo.

“People don’t think I want to be married. I absolutely want to be married,” Mayer told the podcast host when their conversation landed on the topic of marriage. “You know the secret, which is that I’m actually fairly well-adjusted considering what’s happened to me in my life. Pretty well-adjusted and ready to go at any moment.”

“And I so badly want to get married if only for my wife to just know in her heart, like, ‘John will know what to do,'” he added. “I just think that level of being relied on is the hottest thing in the world. ‘If my husband was here, he would know what to do. Call John. Call my husband.’ You’re a full grown-up when this is your romantic fantasy. You’re a fully-fledged grown-up.”

Before his statements, Rizzo had been praising Mayer for being supportive of her following Saget’s death in January 2022. 

“Your kink is that you want someone to be like, ‘John’s got a guy,'” Rizzo said to Mayer.

“Reliance kink? Oh my God. Dependability kink? YES,” he confirmed.

This isn’t the first time Mayer hinted at wanting a more serious relationship. “Of course I want to get married,” he said in 2022 during a “Call Her Daddy” podcast appearance. “Dating is no longer a codified activity for me, it doesn’t exist in a kind of … it’s not patterned anymore.” 

The “Your Body Is a Wonderland” singer also addressed his dating reputation. “That is what that is. That’s the role I play on the big TV show I didn’t write, but that’s fine. Maybe I had a hand in it or something.”

Mayer has been linked romantically with Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Jennifer Aniston, Minka Kelly, Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Love Hewitt, to name a few.
