Is John Mayer “upset” with his ex Katy Perry for getting engaged to Orlando Bloom? According to a recent tabloid report, the singer still has feelings for Perry and is reportedly feeling down because he hasn’t been able to find love himself. But these rumors have all been debunked.

A recent tabloid report suggested that Mayer is still pining for Perry and considers her as the “one that got away.” An “insider” has reportedly claimed that Perry’s engagement has upset her ex so much that he has started to drink heavily.

The source hinted that Mayer would have been able to get over Perry and her engagement if there was a woman in his life. But the insider explained that the singer hasn’t been able to find love, even though he reportedly tried to chat up women during a Grammys afterparty.

Mayer and Perry were in a relationship for about three years before the two broke up. But does Mayer still have feelings for his ex? Gossip Cop has debunked this claim.

A source close to Mayer has confirmed that the rumor about him pining for Perry is fake. The claims suggesting he is taking to alcohol to cope with his loneliness are also not true, according to the insider.

The tabloid that ran the story about Mayer has a history of publishing such fake news. A previous rumor about the singer from the same news outlet suggested that he had rekindled romance with Jennifer Aniston. Another story from the same outlet claimed that the singer was dating Cazzie David. Both these stories have also been debunked.

Mayer was recently in the news for hosting an Oscar afterparty at his home, EOnline reported. His guests at the party included Dave Chapelle, Bob Saget, Halsey, Diplo and Jeff Ross.

Apart from socializing with friends, Mayer has also been working on some new songs. He recently released “I Guess I Just Feel Like,” a song which he said he finished in just one hour, People reported.
