The pair were hand in hand just over a week ago at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala on May 7 in New York City.
Word that Simpson and Mayer were an item began circulating last August but the couple were mum on the topic. Sometime after they began popping up at events.
They got quite cozy in the V.I.P at Christina Aguilera's New Year's Eve bash at the Hudson Hotel in New York City. Simpson also recently spent time with Mayer in Italy.
Her divorce from singer Nick Lachey was finalized last June. Lachey is dating TV personality Vanessa Minnillo.

Oh, wait, those of you (male) who think this little blonde bimbo is hot probably are busy with that hand, aren't ya?
John Mayer is too talented and smart for this girl and I am glad he woke up and realized that, before he did something really stupid and married her - Nick, you did good to get away when you could...
