He spoke with his close friend Bob Saget&#8217;s widow, Kelly Rizzo, on her podcast, &#8220;Comfort Food with Kelly Rizzo,&#8221; and his desire for marriage came up in the conversation. Mayer said, &#8220;People don&#8217;t think I want to be married. I absolutely want to be married.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He continued, &#8220;You know the secret, which is that I&#8217;m actually fairly well-adjusted considering what&#8217;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, &#8216;John will know what to do.'&#8221; Before his comments, Rizzo praised Mayer for the support he offered her after the death of Saget two years ago, saying, &#8220;No one else could have done what you&#8217;ve done&#8221; during that time.<\/p>\n<p>As he continued explaining his desire to offer support to a partner, Mayer said, &#8220;I just think that level of being relied on is the hottest thing in the world. &#8216;If my husband was here, he would know what to do. Call John. Call my husband.&#8217; You&#8217;re a full grown-up when this is your romantic fantasy. You&#8217;re a fully-fledged grown-up.&#8221; Rizzo joked with Mayer, &#8220;Your kink is that you want someone to be like, &#8216;John&#8217;s got a guy.&#8217; Reliance kink? Oh my God. Dependability kink? YES.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QdXWEMuODuw?si=J1ihos-gbmaLdoM1\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>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 &#8220;Call Her Daddy&#8221; podcast. He said, &#8220;Dating is no longer a codified activity for me; it doesn&#8217;t exist in a kind of \u2026 it&#8217;s not patterned anymore. I quit drinking like six years ago. So I don&#8217;t have the liquid courage. I just have dry courage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also addressed his reported playboy past, saying, &#8220;That is what that is. That&#8217;s the role I play on the big TV show I didn&#8217;t write, but that&#8217;s fine. Maybe I had a hand in it or something.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singer John Mayer wants to settle down and give that special someone the royal treatment.
