Let Andy Cohen and John Mayer Cuddle Platonically

Andy Cohen is teasing the Jandy shippers on the latest episode of Call Her Daddy. Cohen and John Mayer have an unlikely friendship. It’s like when zookeepers give cheetahs emotional-support dogs, if the main thing the cheetah and dog had in common was a love of the Grateful Dead. Both men have said, again and again, that the vibes are strictly platonic. But that doesn’t stop them from being physically affectionate or, as Mr. Bravo put it, “a puddle of laughter.” Cohen told Alex Cooper that the two went out to dinner at the Sunset Tower recently, “and I was getting so physical with him by the end that he was like, ‘Andy.’” The WWHL host clarified that he “was kinda using him to tell a story about a guy.” Cohen also mentioned that when he and Mayer go out to dinner, they sit on the same side of the booth.

Cooper did her job and asked Cohen if there’s ever been anything romantic between the two. “No, we love each other,” he replied. “If I could find a gay guy that was him, it would be magic. But you know what? I’m so grateful for the love that we have.” Mayer previously defended the friendship in a 2024 letter to The Hollywood Reporter, criticizing a question the mag had asked Cohen in a profile. “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,” he wrote. “I’d like to think they’re sophisticated enough to see a relationship like ours without assuming it must include a sexual component.” Somehow, that hasn’t stopped the fan edits.
