Andy Cohen and John Mayer are “Waiting on the World to Change.”

The Bravo exec celebrated his pal’s recent scathing response to the Hollywood Reporter’s questions about the nature of their friendship.

“This should now put an end to anyone asking us, ‘What’s the deal with you two? Explain it,'” Cohen, 55, said in Friday’s episode of his “Daddy Diaries” podcast.

“It is demeaning to ask a gay guy about being friends with a straight guy. … It does assume a gay guy can’t be friends with a straight person without them having sex,” he explained.

The “Watch What Happens Live” host, who shared that he “cheered” when he read Mayer’s letter to journalist Maer Roshan last week, praised the “Gravity” singer, 46, for caring “enough about this trope being lazy and dumb that [he] would write this.”

Cohen gushed, “What an ally. I really just love that he did that, and I applaud him for wanting it published.”

The Emmy winner continued, “Thank you, John, for going on the record about that. I thought it was really, really cool.”

Cohen and Mayer have been friends for years, with Roshan asking about the “intense speculation” surrounding their connection while interviewing the “Real Housewives” producer for a profile published on May 8.

The Grammy winner clapped back at Roshan’s remark that “people seem dubious that a straight rock star can have a close, platonic relationship with a gay TV personality.”

He called out the “specious … premise” in his May 10 letter to the editor, noting that it “turns the concept of being gay into an ignorantly two-dimensional one.”

Mayer, who referred to himself as a fan of “intelligent discourse,” concluded, “Reinforcing the idea that any gay/straight relationship needs qualification that it’s not sexual devoids everyone involved of their dignity.”

Although Roshan subsequently wrote that he and the musician “had a nice email exchange” after the letter, he stood by his questions.

Mayer and Cohen first sparked speculation in June 2023 when the Bravolebrity said they were “in love” on “The Howard Stern Show.”

However, he swore on the lives of his son, Benjamin, 5, and daughter, Lucy, 2, that there was not “anything sexual” about their bond.

Cohen doubled down in his Hollywood Reporter profile, saying, “Because we are so affectionate to each other, people don’t know what box to put that in. They assume we are sleeping with each other, which we are most definitely not.”
