Kat Stickler Sparks Romance Rumors with John Mayer Through Merch

Kat Stickler has recently ignited speculation about her relationship with singer-songwriter John Mayer by showcasing his merchandise on social media. The 31-year-old comedian shared an Instagram Story featuring herself in Mayer’s “Life With John Mayer Baby Blue Sweatpants,” alongside a box of donuts, a nod to Mayer’s beloved “Donut Sundays” tradition. This post, which surfaced on November 28, 2023, quickly caught the attention of fans who noted the subtle hints of romance.

Their connection appears to have blossomed online, as confirmed by Us Weekly last month. Sources disclosed that Mayer, 48, had pursued Stickler after taking an interest in her following her breakup with another partner. One insider revealed, “John sought her out and pursued her,” adding that Stickler found the prospect of dating Mayer appealing after her recent split.

The budding relationship was first hinted at when the two were spotted dining together at Fly Fish in New York City earlier in October. While one source mentioned that Stickler “doesn’t think this will be a serious relationship,” they also emphasized that she is “having fun” with Mayer. Their casual outings have continued, including a sighting at NYC’s Torrisi just a few weeks later.

Stickler’s social media post comes after her recent breakup with a “mystery man” she had been seeing over the summer. Prior to that, she was in a relationship with Jason Tartick, a former contestant from “The Bachelor,” until their split in October 2024. Stickler had previously teased her followers with glimpses of her unnamed boyfriend but confirmed their separation shortly before becoming linked with Mayer.

In a light-hearted social media video after her breakup, Stickler jokingly remarked that her new haircut was a sign of a “relationship gone bad.” She captioned the video, “Chopped the hair, kept the peace,” indicating she was ready for a fresh start.

While Mayer has a history of high-profile relationships, including with Katy Perry and Jennifer Aniston, he has not publicly addressed his current romantic involvement with Stickler. In past interviews, he has acknowledged that his song “Still Feel Like Your Man” was inspired by Perry, reaffirming the lasting impact of their relationship.

The dynamics of Stickler and Mayer’s connection remain to be seen, but their recent outings and social media interactions suggest a playful, early-stage romance. As fans continue to watch the unfolding narrative, both Stickler and Mayer appear to be enjoying each other’s company without the pressure of a serious commitment.

As the couple navigates their newfound connection, it remains unclear whether they will make any official statements regarding their relationship status. However, their shared moments and playful exchanges indicate a mutual interest that is likely to keep fans engaged.
