"From Legendary Lovers to friends? John Mayer&amp;apos;s romance with Katy Perry may be over -- for now, anyway -- but a source close to both stars tells Us Weekly there&amp;apos;s no bad blood between them.\r\n\r\nThe breakup was &amp;quot;mutual&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;extremely amicable,&amp;quot; the insider says, noting that the singers remain close friends, despite reports from other sources that they were &amp;quot;fighting&amp;quot; a lot before the split. As for what went wrong? Though another source previously told Us that Perry&amp;apos;s touring schedule was a factor, this pal says they simply &amp;quot;made the mature decision that it was the right time.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nPerry, 29, and Mayer, 36, have dated on and off since the summer of 2012. They seemed happy as recently as late January, when they hit up a Grammys after-party together at the Ace Hotel in downtown L.A. &amp;quot;John and Katy were really cute together,&amp;quot; an onlooker told Us at the time, noting that the &amp;quot;Paper Doll&amp;quot; crooner was &amp;quot;taking photos of everything and everybody&amp;quot; all night.\r\n&amp;quot;John seemed really comfortable with Katy&amp;apos;s parents and her brother, too,&amp;quot; the eyewitness said. &amp;quot;They&amp;apos;re very sweet together!&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nIndeed, Perry told Ellen DeGeneres in December that she and her &amp;quot;Who You Love&amp;quot; duet partner &amp;quot;have a lot of fun&amp;quot; -- in part because they have so much in common. &amp;quot;We have music as an understanding and love between each other and we connect,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Roar&amp;quot; singer said. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s like he understands what I do because he does the same thing. And so after a long day, if it&amp;apos;s been tough, I don&amp;apos;t really have to go into it. He just gets it.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
