John Mayer may have boasted about his wandering eye on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, but he failed to mention his own jealousy issues if his partner did the same!
RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that the 35-year-old wasn’t happy that his now ex-girlfriend, Katy Perry, 28, was still on friendly terms with her ex-husband, Russell Brand.
The lusty Lothario grew tired of Katy’s comparisons between him and the Brit comedian, and it created a tension between them that threatened to boil over at any point.
“John and Katy together were like a volcano just about to go off,” a source reveals.
“Their relationship was incredibly volatile, stemming from the jealousy they both harbored deep inside.
“Sure, Katy was unhappy that John constantly flirted with other girls and played up his heartbreaker image, even when she was standing next to him.
“But, Katy gave it back. She knew that she could push John’s buttons by comparing his flaws to what she saw was great in Russell, which he hated!

“Katy and Russell still talk to one another, and that was another thing that irked John. He’s never been in a relationship where he wasn’t the main focus all the time and it bothered him,” the source says.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, during his interview with DeGeneres, Mayer stayed uncharacteristically tight lipped about his failed romance with Perry.
“It was a very private relationship going in, it was private relationship during, and it’s a very private relationship still,” the New England-born musician said.
“I can understand asking the question based on some previous answers I’ve given, but I finally learned how to put the wall between one thing and another,” he said. “Coupling is a tricky thing.”
