People are saying John Mayer is the original Pete Davidson after seeing massive list of celebs he's dated
Singer John Mayer is somewhat of an infamous dater, and his dating life has recently gone back into the limelight following a recent interview.
While he now says he 'doesn't date that much', the 45-year-old does have a long list of exes - with some people saying he is the original Pete Davidson.
For those unaware, Davidson is certainly known for the amount of people he has already dated, despite being under the age of 30.
Just to name a few, Davidson has had relationships with Ariana Grande, Phoebe Dynevor, Margaret Qualley and Kim Kardashian.

Rumours have ever swirled over recent months that Davidson is now dating model Emily Ratajkowski.
But according to some, the original Pete Davidson is John Mayer, with the singer having a long list of flings in the Noughties.
It all started in the early 2000s where Mayer reportedly dated fellow American singer Vanessa Carlton - though that was never confirmed.
However, that didn't last long as Mayer started dating actor and singer Jennifer Love Hewitt, but that too was a brief relationship with the pair splitting in 2002.
There was a big of a gap to Mayer's next relationship, with him dating another singer Jessica Simpson between 2006 and 2010.
Though their relationship was certainly on-and-off, as John claimed he broke up with Simpson a staggering nine times.
You'd think at that point he'd mix it up with how he dumped Simpson, but he did it on all occasions in the most unusual way.
Each time, he told her their relationship was over by email, with one email containing the song 'Angel' by Aerosmith.
In 2007 during one of his separations from Simpson, Mayer ended up having a fling with Cameron Diaz.
The outlet People claimed the pair were being 'super flirty' with each other shortly after Diaz split with Justin Timberlake.
Mayer managed to fit in another relationship in 2007, with him dating Minka Kelly for a few months.
Mayer then moved on to Jennifer Aniston in 2008, followed by an apparent relationship with Taylor Swift in 2009 and 2010.
At the time he dated Swift, Mayer was 32 and she was just 19, with the singer later writing stinging breakup track 'Dear John' about him.
The 45-year-old was also linked to Kim Kardashian in 2010, and was allegedly spotted kissing Miley Cyrus backstage at the Grammys in 2011.
And the final relationship was with Katy Perry, which was the longest lasting out of all of them.
The two singers started dating in 2012, but ultimately ended up breaking up in 2015.
While in the relationship, Mayer told CBS News Sunday Morning: "For the first time in my life, I don't feel like I'm in a celebrity relationship."
And after that, it all went a bit quiet, and now Mayer has announced he is done with dating.
Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Mayer said: "I don’t really date. I don’t think that I have to, to be quite honest.
"I quit drinking like six years ago, so I don’t have the liquid courage. I just have dry courage."
