Were John Mayer And Kiernan Shipka Ever More Than Just Friends?

The official status of John Mayer and Kiernan Shipka’s relationship hasn’t been revealed. Yet, back in November 2022, Mayer and Shipka set off some spicy speculation, per Entertainment Tonight. The two were spotted going to dinner at an Italian restaurant called Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California. Apparently, they enjoyed each other’s company for four hours. And rumor has it that Mayer even serenaded Shipka. Reportedly, Mayer and Shipka have been seen out together before. In February of that year, paparazzi obtained footage of Shipka hugging Mayer at Sunset Tower Hotel’s Tower Bar.

Unsurprisingly, the famous pair sparked rumors that they were dating, leading social media users to collectively gag at their 22-year age gap. One user was particularly harsh, tweeting, “Is John Mayer really dating kiernan shipka now?? Why do these men always go after the youngest people possible? Taylor at 19, Miley at 18 like my guy this is borderline grooming. Kiernan should listen to would’ve could’ve should’ve.” Another person cared less about their age gap and more about their ranks of stardom. They wrote, “In my house, Kiernan Shipka is much more famous than John Mayer and she could do MUCH better.” But it’s important to take these reactions with a grain of salt, as it was never confirmed that Mayer and Shipka were even a couple.
