14 DAY TRIAL // They seemed just as loving as you could imagine every time they went out in public, but insiders say that Katy Perry and John Mayer no longer felt the love they once had, and this was the ultimate reason that led to their separation. This and the fact that John couldn't help hitting on various women.
This, according to Star Magazine, which claims that Katy actually caught Meyer's fling with another woman. The reason of the split is believed to be Lauren McHale, a 24-year-old SoulCycle instructor who fell for Mayer after they met in a bar in LA.
A source close to the former couple said that Mayer and McHale really hit it off after their first meet and, after a few drinks they went to her home for a party with friends. The same source, who seems to have also attended that party, says, “they kissed. It was very innocent. They didn't sleep together.”
“They texted for a few weeks before it fizzled out. They haven’t seen each other since,” the source adds, which is a confirmation of the previous rumors that Katy caught sight of some messages on his phone and, as a result, decided to break up.
However, a friend of Mayer claims that it was a common decision that led to the split, after John Mayer simply got tired of being pressured into an engagement by Katy, who kept putting on diamond rings on that finger in order to get the press talking about her relationship status.
“That drove him away,” reveals the source, adding that “he wasn't ready.”
E! Online has apparently spoken to some different inside sources, because their story is one of incompatibility rather than one of cheating, claiming that the couple split because of their different personalities, something of which Katy had become aware at some point in time but ignored it.
Only after she decided to address those issues, did she arrive at the conclusion that it was time to break it off with Mayer. Although, these sources also hint that the decision might ultimately have had something to do with Mayer's reported indiscretions.
The bottom line is that Perry is now relieved to have stepped out of the relationship that has been much publicized in the media as gossip columnists had them marrying by this summer in Hawaii secret wedding.
At least this time Katy was smart enough to split before walking down the altar. Her experience with Russell Brand must have taught her a thing or two about celebrity couples and their antics.
