John Mayer Spotted on Dinner Date with Kiernan Shipka
John Mayer, the renowned singer-songwriter, was recently seen enjoying a swanky dinner date with actress Kiernan Shipka, 24, on Friday night. The pair, who have been the subject of dating rumors since 2022, were photographed outside a members-only establishment in West Hollywood.
The 46-year-old "Daughters" hitmaker sported an elevated Hawaiian shirt paired with dark jeans for their night out, while Shipka, known for her role in "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," opted for a simple black top and minimal makeup.
The duo dined at the exclusive San Vicente Bungalows, a celebrity hotspot known for its privacy. They were seen leaving the restaurant separately, arriving and departing in different cars. Both were photographed smiling as they waited for the valet service.
Shipka flashed a quirky half-smile to the photographers before entering her car, while Mayer appeared relaxed and content.
Their dinner date comes after Mayer made his dating intentions clear in January 2024. In an interview on Kelly Rizzo's podcast "Comfort Food," the Grammy-winning musician expressed his desire to settle down and get married.
"People don't think I want to be married," Mayer shared. "I absolutely want to be married. You know the secret, which is that I'm actually fairly well-adjusted." He went on to explain that he yearns for the security and support that comes with a committed partnership, stating, "I so badly want to get married if only for my wife to just know in her heart, like, 'John will know what to do.'"
The singer, who has previously been romantically linked to high-profile figures like Jessica Simpson, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift, also confessed to a "reliability kink." He revealed that he finds it incredibly attractive when his partners depend on him, calling it "the hottest thing in the world."
While neither Mayer nor Shipka have publicly confirmed their relationship, their repeated public outings suggest a growing connection. The actress, known for her roles in shows like "Mad Men" and "Feud," was previously linked to filmmaker Christian Coppola. She recently starred in the blockbuster film "Twisters," which topped the box office this weekend.
With Mayer's expressed desire for marriage and Shipka's blossoming career, the future of their budding relationship remains intriguing. Fans are left wondering if this dinner date is the beginning of a long-term romance for the musician and the talented young actress.
