John Mayer johnonjen081708.jpg

John Mayer has finally opened up to the media (in this case, reporters outside his Equinox gym in NYC) about his split with Jennifer Aniston...

"There's no lying, there's no cheating, there's no nothing," Mayer exclaims, adding that the Friends alum is "the smartest, most sophisticated person I think I have ever met."

Talk about singing her praises! So why did the romance end? "I ended a relationship to be alone, because I don't want to waste somebody's time if something's not right."

Hmm, could this be an allusion to Jen's (39) age? Like she needs to get on with having kids - and finding a hubby - and doesn't have any time to waste?

We wonder!
