Love seems to be back in the air for John Mayer — and this time, it’s with someone who’s taken over the internet rather than the stage.
The 47-year-old Grammy-winning guitarist is reportedly in the early stages of dating social media star Kat Stickler, known for her upbeat and relatable TikTok videos.
According to Us Weekly, Mayer didn’t just stumble into this new connection — he pursued it.
A source close to the situation revealed that the musician “sought her out and pursued her,” suggesting the singer made the first move in what’s quickly become one of the most talked-about new pairings.
A Fresh Start for Kat Stickler
Kat Stickler, who’s been open about her past relationships online, recently decided she was ready to have some fun again after a quiet spell.
The insider explained that Kat “had just broken up with someone she had been dating for a few months” and thought it might be exciting to step back into the dating world — and John Mayer just happened to catch her attention.
The pair have reportedly been on several dates, though sources describe their relationship as “still very new.”
Mayer, who’s known for being charming and persistent, has apparently been “inviting her places and texting her often,” while Kat, for her part, is “interested and seeing where it goes.”
Still, insiders caution that Stickler isn’t expecting this to become a full-blown romance, noting that “she doesn’t think this will be a serious relationship,” but she’s “having fun” and enjoying Mayer’s company.
Spotted Out Together in Exclusive Spots
Fueling the growing speculation, gossip account Deux Moi reported that Mayer and Stickler were spotted spending time together at a private members-only club over the weekend.
The very next evening, they were seen again — this time enjoying dinner at another exclusive spot, Fly Fish, where onlookers couldn’t help but notice their chemistry.
While representatives for both Mayer and Stickler haven’t commented yet, the sightings have fans buzzing about whether this unexpected connection could turn into something more.
Mayer’s Long List of Famous Exes
John Mayer’s romantic past is nearly as famous as his music career.
Over the years, the singer has been linked to a number of Hollywood stars, including Taylor Swift, who is believed to have written her emotional track “Dear John” about their brief 2009–2010 relationship.
He’s also dated Jennifer Aniston, Katy Perry, Jessica Simpson, Minka Kelly, and Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Since ending things with Perry in 2014, however, Mayer has mostly kept a lower profile when it comes to dating.
Those close to him say he’s been drawn to women who live quieter, more private lives — a shift that makes his rumored connection with a digital content creator all the more intriguing.
Kat’s Past Relationships and Family Life
Before her rumored connection with Mayer, Kat Stickler was in a relationship with former Bachelorette contestant Jason Tartick.
Their romance ended just over a year ago, and Tartick’s heartfelt breakup post painted a picture of mutual respect.
“Kat has brought me so much happiness and light,” he wrote, adding that she “brought out parts of me I never knew existed.”
Kat also shares a 5-year-old daughter, MK, with her ex-husband Mike Stickler.
The pair rose to fame in 2020 during the pandemic, charming TikTok audiences with their funny and wholesome videos.
They married in 2019, welcomed their daughter the same year, and later announced their separation in early 2021.
Since then, Kat has built a successful solo career as a content creator while co-parenting MK.
What’s Next for the New Pair?
Right now, it seems both John and Kat are enjoying the excitement of something new.
For Mayer, it’s a return to public dating after years of keeping his love life quiet.
For Kat, it’s a fresh chapter filled with fun, lighthearted energy, and maybe a little rock-star glamour.
Whether their connection becomes a full-blown romance or just a short-lived spark, one thing is clear — this unexpected pairing has everyone talking.
