John Mayer has publicly thanked his mega-star girlfriend Jennifer Aniston for being a part of his life.

The singer addressed the crowds at the Annual Keep a Child Alive Black Ball on Thursday night when he playfully announced "(this) talk show is going to be called John!"

And, rest assured, it wasn't long before the subject of Jen came up.

John told People, "It's really nice to have somebody in life have your back.

"That girl knows me...so whether I go to bed alone or not, to have somebody who knows you in this world, that's a really nice thing."

Jen recently chatted to US Vogue about her past and present loves. See what Jen had to say about John here
