Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer may have called it quits.

That’s the rumor I’m hearing. A source says the pair’s on-again, off-again relationship may have ended sometime within the last week, when Aniston returned from her overseas Marley & Me junket.

“He broke up with her when she got back from her European tour,” the source said.

Aniston’s rep did not immediately comment. Mayer’s rep declined to comment on the singer’s personal life.

But what are their friends saying?

One pal warns that we shouldn’t be quick to assume the two are through for good. As we know, this wouldn’t be the first time they’ve gone their separate ways.

Aniston recently opened up about love and romance to the U.K. magazine You. “Who ever said that every relationship has to last forever? That’s hoping too much,” said Aniston, who turned 40 exactly a month ago. “I think every relationship is a world unto itself.”

As for finding the perfect partner, she said, “I don’t have one and I don’t think it exists.”

Aniston and Mayer went public for the first time at the Oscars at the end of last month. Backstage at the Kodak Theatre, Aniston told Gayle King, who was interviewing them for her pal Oprah’s show, that she was “very happy.” Later in the night, they strolled arm in arm into the Vanity Fair postshow party at the Sunset Tower Hotel.

Most recently, Aniston was spotted on Monday at the same hotel grabbing a bite to eat at the Terrace restaurant. She’ll be jetting to New York City in the spring to shoot The Baster, in which she stars opposite Jason Bateman as an unmarried 40-year-old who decides to have a baby with her best friend.
Mayer, meanwhile, has been in the studio working on a new album.

It’s not that John Mayer isn’t that into Jennifer Aniston — he’s just too busy for her.

The rocker, who was caught on a business date with a beautiful blond last week at Marix Tex Mex restaurant in Santa Monica, was back with Aniston at a private Super Bowl bash in Calabasas, Calif., on Sunday. And while that may signal another “on” phase for the on-again/off-again couple, pals say Mayer is way too busy for a serious relationship with Aniston, and instead wants to focus on himself.

“John’s goal is to keep a low profile this year, and Jen is about as far off from low-profile as you can get,” a source tells us. “He just wants to keep out of the spotlight and finally concentrate on his music.”

Mayer is working on an album tentatively titled “Battle Studies,” a followup to 2006’s “Continuum.” “He’s always in and out of the studio,” a second insider reveals. “That’s his focus.”

In addition to his music, Mayer is in talks to film a sketch-comedy show for CBS. “It’s more of a variety show that will resemble VH1’s ‘John Mayer Has a TV Show,’?” says the snitch. “That’s where his bear skit was born, so think along those lines. Combine a bunch of funny shorts, and you’ll have the show.”
And what about Aniston, whose flick “He’s Just Not That Into You” opens Friday? Insiders say she’s sick of her inconsistent relationship with Mayer.

“He keeps her in limbo,” the snitch reports. “She and John see each other and sleep with each other, but are they getting ready to walk down the aisle? No. Jennifer knows that. But at the same time, no girl wants to spend every night alone. She needs to accept the title of her new movie to be the title of her life.”
Mayer’s rep says, “We do not comment on John’s personal life.”

If things don’t work out with Mayer, Aniston has a second singing suitor waiting in the wings: “Rock of Love” bad boy Bret Michaels.

“Bret is really crushing on Jen,” a pal of Michaels confides. “He says she’s the kind of girl you can have a good time with, but can still take home to Mom.”
While we think Michaels could rock Jen’s love, a Mayer pal says: “Jen can date whoever she pleases, but she should keep in mind that John’s tour bus is so much better than Bret’s!”

John Mayer rang in his 31st birthday at exclusive Beverly Hills cigar bar Grand Havana Room October 15 – with back-on girlfriend Jennifer Aniston by his side.

The relaxed pair hung out on a private outdoor patio for several hours late in the evening. Mayer, at one point, affectionately stroked Aniston’s hair.

The singer – whose actual birthday is October 16 – and the Marley and Me actress, 39, began a whirlwind romance in April, but split in August.

On October 10, however, the two appeared to be back on. They took in a Ray LaMontagne concert in Boston and then spent the next couple of days in New York City before flying to Los Angeles on a private plane.

Another public date followed on October 13, where they dined and drank wine with three pals at Sunset Tower’s Tower Bar.

“They were holding hands at one point and seemed very much back on,” a witness tells Us.

A source says the two reconnected because Aniston “can’t deny their major chemistry, similarities and ability to laugh at things.”
