Jessica Simpson and John Mayer Dating  8/30/06

Jessica Simpson has found love with fellow music star John Mayer, according to press reports in the US.

Simpson is in New York City to promote her new album A Public Affair, but has been forced to cancel her media appearances because she has laryngitis.

Strangely enough, Maher is also suffering from laryngitis and was forced to cancel a concert on Saturday night (26AUG06) in Connecticut, where he was headlining with Sheryl Crow.

According to American publication Us Weekly, Simpson spoke to the magazine about the relationship, saying that Mayer was great and that she wanted to "keep it private".

Simpson recently revealed during a Texas radio interview that she had already heard Mayer's new album Continuum, which is not due in stores until 12 September (06).

Mayer lives in New York City and Simpson will reportedly attend his concert tonight (30AUG06) in Jones Beach, New York.

A source confirms the relationship adding, "She's tiptoeing back into the dating world. It's the first stage. She's never been happier."
