Singer John Mayer wants to settle down and give that special someone the royal treatment. He spoke with his close friend Bob Saget’s widow, Kelly Rizzo, on her podcast, “Comfort Food with Kelly Rizzo,” and his desire for marriage came up in the conversation. Mayer said, “People don’t think I want to be married. I absolutely want to be married.”

He continued, “You know the secret, which is that I’m actually fairly well-adjusted considering what’s happened to me in my life. Pretty well-adjusted and ready to go at any moment. And 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.'” Before his comments, Rizzo praised Mayer for the support he offered her after the death of Saget two years ago, saying, “No one else could have done what you’ve done” during that time.

As he continued explaining his desire to offer support to a partner, Mayer said, “I just think that level of being relied on is the hottest thing in the world. ‘If my husband was here, he would know what to do. Call John. Call my husband.’ You’re a full grown-up when this is your romantic fantasy. You’re a fully-fledged grown-up.” Rizzo joked with Mayer, “Your kink is that you want someone to be like, ‘John’s got a guy.’ Reliance kink? Oh my God. Dependability kink? YES.”

Mayer has had an infamous string of famous girlfriends throughout this career, including Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Anniston, and others. The 46-year-old previously expressed an interest in settling down with the right person in a 2022 episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. He said, “Dating is no longer a codified activity for me; it doesn’t exist in a kind of … it’s not patterned anymore. I quit drinking like six years ago. So I don’t have the liquid courage. I just have dry courage.”

He also addressed his reported playboy past, saying, “That is what that is. That’s the role I play on the big TV show I didn’t write, but that’s fine. Maybe I had a hand in it or something.”
