Andy Cohen Describes 'Physical' Night With John Mayer, Says Their Bond Is Platonic

Cohen said a recent Sunset Tower outing felt extra affectionate because he had been drinking, stressing that the closeness reflects their friendship rather than romance.

Overview

  • On Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy, Cohen recounted that he was “getting so physical” with Mayer at Sunset Tower last week before Mayer cautioned him with a gentle “Andy.”
  • He explained he was “in the cups a little bit” and was using Mayer to help tell a story about another man during the interaction.
  • Cohen outlined their typical hangouts as dinner dates where they sit on the same side of the booth, Mayer puts an arm around him, and the night ends in a “puddle of laughter.”
  • He rejected romance speculation, saying he is not secretly in love with Mayer and that they love each other platonically, adding that finding a gay guy like Mayer “would be magic.”
  • As context, Mayer has previously challenged media skepticism about their friendship, calling the notion that a straight man and a gay man can’t be close friends a “specious premise.”
