John Mayer was photographed with Kiernan Shipka grabbing dinner at a romantic restaurant in Santa Monica, and the internet has given their views on this match.
It seems like several have come down on the singer for the notable age gap and brought his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift’s words into the mix.
It so happens that Mayer and Shipka were spotted entering Giorgio Baldi, the fine Italian restaurant, sometime after 8:00 PM.
Both of them entered the restaurant separately, approximately a few minutes apart. At the restaurant, they spent hours together. There was a point where John Mayer sang for Kiernan Shipka as well.
Finally, sometime around midnight, the duo exited the restaurant separately and left in their own vehicles. But it’s being said that both Shipka’s car and Mayer’s SUV stopped a few blocks away from the restaurant. The 22-year-old exited her vehicle and entered Mayer’s, which left for Shipka’s L.A. home.
Previously, Mayer and Shipka were spotted together in February, and she was photographed hugging Mayer at the Tower Bar in Los Angeles.
Since the time the news came out in the open, several have taken to social media to express their concern about the age gap.
In fact, the internet had gone to the point of adding mathematics to the mix and pointing out that by the time Kiernan Shipka was born, John Mayer was of legal drinking age.
