John Mayer and Kat Stickler Spark Romance Rumors After Intimate NYC Outings
The New York dating scene has a new It couple to watch. Over the weekend, whispers of a blossoming romance between John Mayer, 47, and Kat Stickler, 30, set social media abuzz after the two were spotted out on consecutive date nights. According to Deuxmoi, the singer-songwriter and the influencer were seen at not one, but two exclusive Manhattan hotspots — and their chemistry was undeniable.
Per the popular Instagram account, Mayer and Stickler first stepped out on Friday, October 10, at a members-only club in New York City, followed by a dinner at the ultra-exclusive Flyfish Club on Saturday, October 11. A photo posted to Deuxmoi’s Stories appeared to show the two seated closely together in a private booth — a cozy setting that instantly fueled speculation.
Adding a little more fire to the rumor mill, Stickler recently followed Mayer on Instagram — a modern dating breadcrumb that did not go unnoticed by fans. While representatives for both have yet to comment, the internet has wasted no time dissecting every detail of this budding connection.
For Kat Stickler, the possible new romance comes on the heels of a very public love life. The influencer and mom of one — she shares daughter MK with her ex-husband Mike Stickler — “soft launched” a new relationship in July, teasing a mystery man to her millions of followers. Prior to that, she had a six-month relationship with Bachelor alum Jason Tartick, which ended amicably in October 2024.
As for Mayer, the legendary guitarist and singer revealed during SiriusXM’s SmartLess Live podcast in June that he was single. Known for his high-profile dating history — including relationships with Jennifer Aniston, Taylor Swift, and Katy Perry — Mayer has long captured the public’s fascination not only for his music but also for his romantic entanglements.
According to a source who spoke to Us Weekly, the connection between Mayer and Stickler is “still very new” but promising. “John sought her out and pursued her,” the insider shared. “Kat just broke up with someone she had been dating for a few months and thought it would be fun to date again. She was interested in John.”
The source added, “He has been actively pursuing her, inviting her places and texting her often. She is interested and seeing where it goes.”
Their back-to-back nights out suggest more than just a casual meet-up. Both Flyfish Club and the private members club where they were first spotted are known for their discretion and star-studded clientele — places where couples often enjoy the luxury of quiet corners away from prying eyes.
For Kat, this marks an intriguing new chapter as she balances single motherhood, a growing social media empire, and a potential high-profile romance. For Mayer, it signals a return to the kind of slow-burn courtship he’s been known for — one that keeps fans guessing.
Whether it’s just the beginning of a fling or the spark of something more, New York seems to be the backdrop of this unexpected pairing’s story. And in a city where love stories can unfold as quickly as fall leaves turn, all eyes are on Mayer and Stickler to see what comes next.
