Influencer Kat Stickler has something to say about her relationship status after her recent dates with John Mayer.
“Kat, are you single?” an off-camera friend asked Stickler, 30, in a Tuesday, October 14, TikTok video.
Stickler, for her part, quickly shut down any questions about whether she had a new man.
“Yeah, I already told you [that I’m single],” she said while putting on earrings. “I cut all my hair off — out of the blue one day. You think I just did that for no reason? It holds memories.”

Stickler added, “Look, at the distance between my shoulder and my hair? OK, I thought you knew me better than that. This was a cry for help.”
Stickler recently chopped her long locks into a chic bob, which she quipped on Thursday was a “tell-tale sign of a relationship gone bad.”
“When a haircut is never JUST a haircut,” Stickler captioned her upload. “Chopped the hair, kept the peace.”
Stickler previously hinted in a series of July social media posts that she had a new boyfriend, her first since her months-long romance with Bachelor Nation’s Jason Tartick ended in late 2024. While it’s not known when or why Stickler and her mystery man parted ways, she later was spotted on two back-to-back dates with Mayer, 47, earlier this week.
“John sought her out and pursued her,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly on Monday, October 13. “Kat just broke up with someone she had been dating for a few months and thought it would be fun to date again, and was interested in John.”
The insider added, “He has been actively pursuing her, inviting her places and texting her often. She is interested and seeing where it goes.”
According to the source, Stickler’s relationship with Mayer is “still very new” and she’s “having fun.” (Neither Stickler nor Mayer have publicly addressed their connection. Us reached out for comment.)
Kat, who shares daughter MK with ex-husband Mike Stickler, is no stranger to dating in the public eye. She dated Tartick, 36, for six months in 2024 before calling it quits.

“With two back-to-back hurricanes, I obviously didn’t think it was the right time to talk about my personal life. A lot of you have already guessed, and yes, Jason and I have broken up,” Kat said in an October 2024 social media video. “It was amicable. It just didn’t work. I don’t want to talk about it. Just wanted to tell you.”
She continued, “I understand that with posting a relationship online, you also have to show this side [and] the aftermath. I just wanted to tell you guys, and it’s not love wasted. I feel like sometimes it’s so easy to think when a relationship ends that the love was wasted but love is never wasted. That’s all I have to say.”
Tartick, meanwhile, has since been happy to see Kat move on. In an Instagram Story Q&A session this summer, Tartick was even asked if he saw that his now-ex “hard-launched a new relationship.”
“No. First seeing this Q rn,” Tartick wrote in July. “She deserves the best in life. Truly happy for her.”
