jennifer aniston and john mayerJohn Mayer reportedly reinitiated the reconciliation between him and Jennifer Aniston after realising he’d made a mistake in dumping her.

After five months of dating, John is said to have dumped the former Friends star at the start of August because he didn’t want to “waste her time” with a relationship with no future - but he is said to made the call that’s left them practically inseparable for the last week.

A source told the Mirror: “John and Jennifer had a pretty acrimonious break-up.

“For a while Jen cut off all ties and refused to speak to him. But over the past few weeks, they’ve both realised how good they were together and how much they mean to one another.

“John initially called things off because he didn’t feel ready for commitment. But after considerable time apart, his priorities have changed and he wants to make a go of things.

“Determined to show he’s a changed man, John has cut right back down on his drinking and has pledged to quit smoking - two things that really annoyed Jennifer.

“He has even written a song about their time together and played it to Jennifer who, naturally, was incredibly touched.

“It’s still early days though and John is by no means out of the doghouse. He still has some serious grovelling and making up to do.

“But so far things are going well, and both parties are hopeful of a long-term reconciliation.”

The couple were first spotted together at a gig in Boston on the 10th October then had a weekend together in New York before flying to Los Angeles to celebrate John’s 31st birthday last week.
