Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Wednesday. “I honestly love John Mayer, and he loves me,” Cohen continued. “But because we’re so affectionate toward each other, people don’t know what box to put that in.

They assume we’re sleeping with each other, which we are most definitely not.”Cohen and the “Your Body is a Wonderland” crooner have been pals for over a decade, after meeting through a friend and discovering their mutual love for the Grateful Dead.The “Watch What Happens Live” host even confessed that the two are “in love with each other,” even though their relationship is strictly platonic.During an appearance on SiriusXM’s “The Howard Stern Show” in June 2023, host Howard Stern asked Cohen if he was in love with Mayer. “I am in love with John Mayer,” Cohen said. “We are in love with each other.”He later swore on his children — Benjamin Allen, 4, and Lucy Eve, 19 months — that he and Mayer, who is straight, have never had a sexual relationship.Cohen, who is gay, has often faced rumors that he’s involved with Mayer.

In 2018, Cohen denied the pair were dating after Mayer serenaded him with an acoustic version of Diana Ross‘ “It’s My House.”Cohen thanked him with a hug and a kiss on the lips. “I’ve done nothing but learn that song in the last 48 hours,” Mayer said. “I have eaten, breathed, and slept ‘It’s My House.’“I didn’t know the song,” he added. “Now I’ll never forget the song.”“Listen, we have a very sweet friendship, and we are together all the time,” Cohen told CNN after he was asked if he was surprised that people thought they were dating. “I think that I was not surprised because we also have a great love for each other.
