John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston have broken up for the final time, according to Us Weekly. The pair haven’t been spotted together in ages (well, since around Christmastime, which is ages in Hollywood), and have finally called it off. It sounds like it was fairly mutual too – Jen thought John was playing games with her head, and John thought she was a control freak. Oddly enough, John just made a few digs at Jen’s ex-husband Brad Pitt in a YouTube video yesterday.
Jennifer Aniston might turn 40 alone on Feb. 11.
Sources told Us that the actress has once again split with John Mayer, 31, because he “needed time to himself.”
“She’s a control freak, and he can be very incommunicative,” a source told the magazine. “Plus, she feels he plays games with her head.”
The couple already broke up/took a two-month hiatus once last August. Will this one stick?
“I would not go so far as to call this a breakup,” said a source close to Mayer. “They have different needs, and it’s hard making it work.”
[From MSNBC’s The Scoop]
That whole “needing time to myself” thing is one of the worst lines in the book. Right after “it’s not you, it’s me.” What it really means is “I need more time with people who are not you.” Jen can obviously do better. I’m not going to go off on the whole, “John Mayer is a douche” thing, because we all know he is and it’s been done to death. If she’s looking for something long-term, then there are a thousand more eligible guys to fill that spot in her life. And if she’s looking for short term, then John filled that spot in her life perfectly.
I really do get sick of articles focusing on Jennifer’s age. It’s part of the whole “poor, pathetic Jennifer” thing, which is ridiculous. So she’s about to be 40. So are a bunch of other people. Why in the world does that matter? She looks better than most of the people half her age. I still think she’s unmarried by choice, not circumstance. I’m sure there are plenty of great guys who would love to be Jen’s date on her birthday – which will probably be a happier one.

I hate this woman
I don’t think there ever really was a real relationship. I think it was her publicist and her trying take some of the press away from Brad and Angie and their awards. John Mayer is a little strange and likes to be in the limelight. She needed a romance to feel relevant and he (JM) needed attention. I wonder who the next victim will be. As long as it keeps them occupied and leaving Brad and Angie alone it is fine.
I totally agree about her appearance and her age. (I do hate comparing myself to her, but since I’ll be 40 this year, too, it can’t be helped.)
Many people are alone on their birthdays by choice, as well as otherwise. How many men in Hollywood have turned 40 – without being married, without having a mate, and without all the hoopla? The sexism and ageism is so annoying.
I agree, Jaybird. I think she’s unmarried by choice, and I think she’s childless (or child-free, whichever) by choice. So, then, the question must arise, why all the gd pity parties?
I love her. Sick of those ageist articles too. How old are those people writing them? This is speculation but I hope it is true. I am not a huge fan of his and I want her to hook up with Gerald Butler when they do their movie together in the spring.
To Nasty: MEOW!
I can’t stand her either…and I don’t think that she’s single by choice…not by a long shot!
What an intelligent first comment…
Anyway, not being seen out together is hardly cause for “breaking up”. Jennifer Aniston is a homebody except for when she’s promoting something, so I’ll believe this when it comes to a more reliable source.
Beside that. THERE WAS NO DIG at Brad Pitt. Am I taking crazy pills here? Or is everyone else taking something that I don’t have because I just do not understand where the “dig” was during that video. He was talking nonsense about a lot of things. You’d have to WANT there to be a dig at Brad Pitt to see one.
Well in hollyweird when women hit the big 4-0 their careers usually end… except in rare cases like a streep (sP) or Mirren
I hope it’s true- and I hope John Mayer never gets laid by a famous woman again. His gravy train has gone on far too long. Someone please explain his appeal. I do not get it. He’s an economy-sized douchebag. I hope he can’t even sweet talk playboy bunnies or Vegas cocktail waitresses after this.
I agree with Notblonde it was just a really dumb video.
I just wish she would be a half decent guy, what about John Stamos? famous not to famous really cute likes being married really cute…
Oh man jaybird, I just got dumped from a 3 year relationship, we were living together and everything, because he needed time for himself. You’ve confirmed my suspicions as to what that means, exactly. Sigh….I never thought I’d have anything in common with JA, now I’m just bummed.
I think she is great, but he is the one I find absolutely disgusting.
The last time they broke up, many, many posts claimed that JA could do better.
Nothing has changed.
She could certainly do better.
In fact, if she were really smart, she’d look outside Hollywood (the “famous” sector, that is) and find a decent, funny, attractive NORMAL guy to be with…someone who would appreciate her and not be threatened by her or feel in competition with her.
She looks amazing for 40.
Actually X17 and Star both have new stories about them spending the night together at her house. X17 has video of John arriving. I don’t really care if they are together or not but I think that the break up stories are so they declare themselves. Just like Star said that Angie and Brad’s twins were missing and then they showed up within a week. Tabloids do this all the time in hopes to draw them out. Wonder if it will work. And I agree the whole 40 thing – you don’t hear them saying that about Clooney.
And Kaiser – you really need to move on from the pity party thing. That was like 2005.
geez, you bitches are nasty! now i understand the caption under which you leave your comments.
a li’l bit shallow aren’t you and the venom?? where did that come from? doesnt say much for the intelligence of american women uhm sorry high opinionated pedestalled bitches and so sorry i didnt realise that this site belongs to immoral a la Jolie & entourage.
good luck
Sorry to hear that California Angel. Don’t feel too bad…consider yourself lucky that you probably dodged a bullet. You may not feel like that now but just wait. I’m speaking from experience.
soo over those 2.
she is cursed!
poor girl
Oh PLEASE WHAT A SURPRISE.
It was all publicity baby for her new movie. It worked, because people just didnt have nothing better to watch but a movie about a dog…being a dog. oh yea with actors thrown in there as well. What a surprise and of course her reasoning is because he plays mind games. Yea BOO you knew that before getting in that relationship. Whats sad is that she is 40 and she still uses men as an excuse for her sadness…
Most of the stuff in these rags is made up. I think she and her ex-husband are good for sales so every comment gets blown out of proportion.
to: california angel
I think all men right now are wanting their space because the economy. my bf got laid off and he wanted some time to himself. *singing* Its hard out here for a pimp 🙂
bet he did those rambling monologues with inane puns about brad-benj-bratt in private and jen and her posse laughed uproariously. so not being terribly bright he thought he was uproariously funny and did the same schtick on video. only jen realized that there was a difference between private drunken pot-head ramblings and putting something out there in the public forum. how can she claim she’s oblivious to the ex- and his family if her boyfriend is ripping on them. quick and easy solution, dump him again.
Well I’m speechless. So unexpected.
Jen, why so hasty for split.. I believe you have a new sappy chick flick to promote soon. Oh well you can always pose on Cosmo in a necktie…
@california angel: aww, sorry to hear about that, that sucks. I’m with meow mix, probably just dodged a bullet!
Did anyone else not really buy JA and JM as a couple in the first place, (like taking separate rooms at hotels, or her not letting him stay over, etc.) or am I just too suspicious?
Zoe:
I saw it coming. I really dont know why people got so attached with this couple, we all knew it wasnt going to lest. she just needed some arm candy…which is sad seeing as his face is fug on top of fug with a dash of extra fug
Is this take 3 ?
well according to star magazine via perezhilton, they are still together, maniston spent the night with each other…her next movie comes out next weekend 😀
She does look amazing for 40- I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t know it for a fact. What confuses me is how she can look so good with the excessive tanning she does. Must have some kick-ass genes.
I wouldn’t believe it till their reps confirm it.
I think the “I need time for myself” line is a way to let someone down gently. You’re giving an explanation as to why you’re breaking up without telling them the real reason. Usually the intent is to not hurt the person you’re breaking up with. It can be confusing because the former partner doesn’t really understand what needing “time for myself” is.
Look I can’t stand this woman BUT she looks *great* for her age.
I also don’t get the “dig” at Brad..I watched the video, it was John being John..I think the Brangaloonies read to much into it..I also read on another site, that John just got back to LA, and made a bee line for Jens house, where he spent the night..so Im not so sure about the break-up rumors.
I agree with Cee. It was all about her movie coming out. Now that it’s done, she doesn’t need a boyfriend anymore.
stfu duchess. no one left a comment that was as nasty as yours, you hypocrite. and don’t attack the intelligence of American women when your own comments are riddled with grammatical errors.
I’m sorry that you relate to JA in your insecurities and fear the threat of the ‘other woman’, but it doesn’t mean you have to channel all your hatred of sexually powerful women onto Jolie.
thanks, zoe:) Sorry to hear about that Wonder Woman, interestingly enough, mine had just gotten laid off too, hmmm.
Oh and thanks also meow mix. I appreciate the words of wisdom:)
I don’t understand why people “can’t stand” her. She doesn’t and hasn’t done anything particularly offensive.
It’s like kids in school picking on the boring girl in class just because she’s boring.
JA is a home body??? All we ever see every day are pictures of her with this guy and thaqt guy in this state or that state or this bar or that bar..she is no more of a homebody then the town alley cat. She has slept with more guys since her divorce then liz taylor did thru all of her marriages lol
I see, JA uses men or throws pity parties to promote her movies. AJ-BP buy orphans or birth babies, then release family albums to promote theirs 🙂
She is a great woman….don’t feel sorry for her. She gets to date and figure out what she wants. I have a ton of single friends who would love her “problems”. She is just trying to get it right like all of us. Being free of Brad now that is a gift. Jen will come out ahead for sure.
I don’t know why but I really can’t stand her, it’s not just that she really cant act to save her life, she just comes off as really fake and calculating in video interviews.
And he’s a complete douche.
So really, I thought they made a perfect couple in terms that to me they deserved each other.
OH! SNAP!
RE: Cee … “I don’t think there ever really was a real relationship. I think it was her publicist and her trying take some of the press away from Brad and Angie and their awards.”
What awards??
I guess it’s not the fact that she’s 40 and considered old. It’s because she refuses to grow up and act like the 40 year old. Part of that is letting go of the past. Her relationship with Brad Pitt ended 4 years ago but just recently she still had to go on about it to promote her dog movie. It would be nice for her to do an interview without mentioning the uncool Angelina or even off the cuff comments about their kids. Why even mention their kids’ names. What’s not cool is Aniston who at 40 cannot let the man live his obviously happy, wonderful life with Jolie.
“Cee … “I don’t think there ever really was a real relationship. I think it was her publicist and her trying take some of the press away from Brad and Angie and their awards.”
What awards??”
Honestly made me laugh.
And um Whyy, just a question a teeny thought perhaps…did you not read that article a bit back when Brad was talking about Jennifer Aniston to promote his movie? Oh wait…your saintly couple can do no wrong and the horrible Maniston just can’t get over Brad!
No, it’s not true. This is their way of staying in the limelight for another fifteen minutes. Next they’ll become engaged and then break it off a second before one of them say “I do.”
I think she is a strong independent woman, so I never quite understood why she went with this guy.
He dates famous women so he can say he dates famous women.
He dated Jessica Simpson, and a bunch of others that have absolutely nothing in common except they are all famous.
He can’t love anyone but himself, so relationships for him are really just another PR prop and instrumental in feeding his ego.
It’s more sad for him, because I am sure she will find love, while he will prolly continue to date all these women that he is unable to care for.
Dorothy – I’m with you. I’m not particularly at JA fan – I just can’t separate her from her Rachel Green character. But, I do think she and John Stamos would be so cute together – and they’re both Greek! I actually think that’s been discussed before.
I never thought they made a cute couple together anyway and doubted they would last long.
She can do so much better…
I hope to look that good when I’m her age, by the way, even though I’m sure her money made it happen but her genes probably had something to do with it too.
He’s been looking like he’s itching to bolt ever since their New Year’s trip together where he stayed with his brothers instead of in her suite. hmm…
His “sources” often seem to leak info HE wants out in the public. The break-up rumor sounds like it came from his camp, because, as they said, she’s too “controlling”and douchebag clearly has commitment issues. Now, being the crazy famewhore that he is, he’s running back to spend the night with her to try to cling as he simultaneously pushes her away. Fun times in desperate Aniston-land.
This isn’t surprising. Mayer is another George Hamilton or Warren Beatty before he got married. He’s mixed body fluids with so many women god knows how many goobers are wriggling around in there –
It’ll be interesting to see who’s next. Surely his stakes have gone down because of the aforementioned goobers
She definitely does not look her age skin and figure-wise. She looks way better now that she did 15 years ago when she wasn’t famous! Now if only I had that kind of money to spend on trainers and relaxing trips to Mexico every weekend, LOL! As a couple I always thought “WTH”? Maybe she should be with another goofy comedy actor like Brendan Frasier?
As a woman who got married and chose to stay home with my kid…and LOVES that I had that choice available to me:
WHY are people SO on Jennifer Aniston’s ass about HER choice? I swear, I take crap from almost every direction about the choice I made to eschew career success for the honor and peace of staying home to make a family. I’ve been called names that would make anyone cry. I’ve been accused of “sucking off my husband,” setting a “lazy example” for my daughter, and my favorite – even though I only have one child – is when someone calls me a “breeder.”
Fun stuff.
But see, you can’t have it both ways. I made one choice. Jennifer Aniston made a different one. You can’t rip BOTH of those choices to shreds.
She tried marriage. She got her heart broken. She’s enjoying life as a single woman, and I can guaranTEE you that if something, God forbid, ever happened to my family, I’d do the same thing.
Seriously…lay off of her. There’s nothing desperate about being 40, female, successful, rich, and gorgeous. She’s got the whole world and she can do whatever she wants.
judy?????please name the tons of men that Jen has slept with since her divorce..since you must be renting a room in her mansion..And we hardly see pics of Jen, you said “ever day” with different guys???And she hardly ever goes to bars that I have seen, maybe dinner now and then..get your head out of Angelinas ass and face the truth..Jen is a rich, beautiful, talented woman, living her life the way she wants..jealous much????
He was an a$$. She can definitely do better. She is gorgeous — thank Xenu not all women look the same! If we all only liked one type, we’d have died out long ago!
And I’m an Angie fan, as some of you know, but I can appreciate other good-looking women too!
Can’t say I am surprised, John Mayer is a womanizer and I really dont think he wants to be tied down in any relationship no matter how cute the chick is.
I think Jen and John make a very compatible and cute couple. Look at Demi Kunchner, and at Courtney Cox Arquet….we’re talking 20 years difference and under. So, age makes no differece. If you connect with someone you dont’ immediately stop and say, “Btw, just how old are you?”…and if all Jen wanted was publicity for an upcoming movie, she could have joined the Rainbow Tribe in Japan….her ex pulled out ALL stops for this movie….
To break up one needs to be in a relationship. I believe this was a publicity stunt so she didn’t look like a loser when the nominations were announced, not so much to promote the dog movie. Every time BP/AJ are in the news there was a new relationship or bikini shot leaked to the media and people started to pick up on it. She was even asked about using her love life as a publicity stunt in a Hello interview, which she vehemently denied. It’s pretty sad that her only relevancy seems to be as BPs ex. She’s getting older and will go the way of Meg Ryan soon, fair or not. I’d wish her the best if she would stop the coat tail riding. She’s famous, mildly talented and extremely rich. No one should feel sorry for her. I think she’s now feeling the repercussions of the poor me game she played for years after the divorce (in my opinion to try to ruin them, especially AJ), and cannot lose the victim crown that she so willing put on her own head.
JENNIFER COULD KEEP A MAN IF SHE DIDN’T COMPARE EVERY MAN TO BRAD. HE’S MOVED ON!!! SHE HAS TO ALSO. JOHN DIDN’T LIKE HER CONTROL. HE’S A SUPERSTAR BY HIS OWN RIGHT. SHE WAS LUCKY TO EVEN GET A HOT DUDE LIKE HIM. TO ME, HE DID HER THE FAVOUR. SHE IS TOO DEMANDING FOR ANY ONE. HE MUST BE SO RELIEVED TO NOT BE UNDER HER CONSTANT NEEDINESS.HE’S A HOT MUSCIAN, BOY CAN SANG!!!!!
when you get involved with guys like this you should not try and change them. it’s like a woman dating a gay man. she thinks she can change him. no you can’t. people only change if they want to. she knew john was a ladies man. yet she dated him anyway. again the good girl/bad boy syndrome. get a life jen. leave john alone. he is only doing what he likes to do. LIKE YOUR MOVIE:HE’S JUST NOT ONTO YOU!!!!
Jenny is a pretty sweet lady…She deserves a better guy than john…i love u jane.
Jenny is a pretty sweet lady…She deserves a better guy than john…i love u jenny.
Why did she even bother to give him the time of day?
Well you know, 40 being the new 30 or whatever, we do look younger than our Mums did at 40. I personally don’t have any age lines yet, at all. I was wondering why not, then I remembered I also don’t have any kids. 😀
lets face it folks, have any one of you seen that picture of Jenn, without all that goop, and surgeries, it’s hideous, she is not aging well, and the girl can’t act, brad was her only saving grace, while married and after. non jealous, of Angelina,maybe , Jenn doesn’t have to marry and have children, but stop lying saying that you do, for publicity.
Why can’t some people stand her? I’ll tell you why. She sucks at acting, she’s not beautiful and clearly, she holds no dignity. She is OVERRATED. There are easily a million better looking real actresses out there in the world, but Jen gets to pose nude in a necktie, so clearly that means she’s worth a movie ticket.
I always thought Brad was too good for her. She’ll turn 50 and she’ll still be alone and making crappy films.
Yeah I am sure all of you hang out at the corner of Hollywood and Vine with Angelina and Jennifer since you seem to know sooo much about them and their personal lives..yep..best buds I bet..
I miss mention of JA and John Stamos, but think they wld. make an incredible couple although I do not know how they feel about day to day living, functioning as a team. I ran into John Stamos at Disneyland when my daughter was 11 & adored him fr. Full House. I called out Mr. Stamos fr. a distance & he stopped, waited for us, got off his cell ph., walked away fr. his family to come over to us & run his finger across my daughter’s face to ask her a question about her & say how beautiful she was. What a gentleman. I will never forget his kindness. What a BEAUTIFUL man, better in person, extrodinary teeth & eyes. JA-please check him out….I know u ck. this sight out. Go Girl!
What a ridiculous couple. She is a huge whiner, and latches on to anyone that will have her….still crying over Brad and Angelina, get over it already!
And he sings like he’s constipated, glad they didn’t have kids, what a nightmare they’d be.
every time she met a man you say she pay him for a movie.Aj and brad sell they child for a movie, so please let her alone or do you know her, she has lot a friends she don´t need a man to a movie. has Aj some frien´s. no. they have not break-up so stop now
