Mayer offers to break Halsey’s heart

John Mayer has reignited rumours of a romance between him and Halsey as he brazenly flirted with the singer on Instagram.

The 24-year-old singer shared a video of herself playing the guitar on her social media, captioning it: “This Is Your Brain on Writer’s Block: everything I write today sounds like my myspace song in 2008 or a poorly disguised Beatles rip off. Someone send help.”

Quick to respond, 41-year-old John replied: “I can be over to break your heart in 20?”

However, Halsey’s fans were unsure about a potential coupling between her and John, with many pointing out the age difference between them.

“You’re old enough to be her grandad you creep,” one commented, while another referenced John’s ill-fated relationship with Taylor Swift by quoting her song Dear John and writing: “Dear John don’t you think she is too young to be messed with?”.
