In a brand new interview, Andy Cohen has revealed he is 'in love' with singer John Mayer.
The pair have actually been friends for a longtime, with Mayer singing for Cohen at his 50th birthday party some years ago now.
The singer, 45, also spoke at Cohen's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in February 2022 and even attended the baby shower for his son.
Because of their longtime friendship, rumors have been swirling for years that the pair may be in some kind of relationship, though they have both insisted they are just good pals.

Cohen, 55, has reaffirmed that point of view in a recent interview on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show, where he put to bed rumors the pair's relationship has ever got sexual.
"I am in love with John Mayer. We are in love with each other," Cohen told Stern.
Stern then commented that Mayer was probably the most-mentioned individual in Cohen's new book, The Daddy Diaries: The Year I Grew Up, even pointing out the pair have been on camping trips together over the years.
Stern then subsequently asked if their relationship had ever got physical.
"Swear on your children’s lives that there has never been anything sexual between you and John Mayer," he prompted.
Cohen - who is dad to Ben, four, and Lucy, one - quickly replied: "Yes. I do. I swear."
Perhaps the rumors of the pair dating may now go away, with Cohen having previously quashed talk they may be in a romantic relationship.
The Watch What Happens Live host had to clarify the pair were not dating after Mayer sang for him at his 50th birthday.
However, he did say he was not surprised by the speculation.
Speaking to CNN in 2018, Cohen said: "Listen, we have a very sweet friendship, and we are together all the time. I think that I was not surprised because we also have a great love for each other. So, it just seems like the obvious assumption."
And for those that need further clarification, Cohen spoke about the pair's friendship in December 2022 on the iHeart podcast, Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi.
"John Mayer is someone who is very in touch with his emotions," Cohen told the podcast host.
"He very quickly in our friendship started saying, ‘You know what, I gotta tell you something - I love you.
"He is someone to say, ‘I love you and I cherish you and I cherish our friendship’ - just this stuff that straight guys aren’t necessarily supposed to say."
