Jennifer Aniston back in contact with ex-lover John Mayer

Jennifer Aniston is back in contact with her ex-lover John Mayer and longing for a reconciliation, MailOnline can reveal.

The pair, who broke up last month following a summer fling, have enjoyed daily telephone conversations since the actress returned to Los Angeles from a work trip to Mexico last week.

It follows a prolonged period in the doldrums for Aniston, 39, who only weeks before the split had undergone lip surgery in an effort to appear more attractive to Mayer, 30.

A friend said: ‘Jennifer reached out to John first. She had a few glasses of wine - then decided to throw caution to the wind and make the first move.

‘John was pleasantly surprised to hear from her. He says they’ve been in contact pretty much every day since and he’s really looking forward to seeing her again soon.’

It’s claimed the former Friends star has been drowning her sorrows ever since being dumped by the New York-raised musician.

In fact, Mayer is said to have grown concerned over his ex’s wayward lifestyle and urged her to slow down.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Jennifer's friends are worried.

‘She’s had a really tough time since the break-up and the more time goes on, she realises how much John still means to her. Basically, she’s still in love with him and has had a really tough time letting go.’

Aniston’s penchant for afternoon cocktails is said to have started earlier this year while she worked in Miami on the comedy Marley & Me and began her relationship with Mayer.

Since then she has become increasingly withdrawn, choosing to let her hair down behind closed doors, despite occasional public outings which have been largely work related.

The source added: ‘Jen just needs to be careful about not being so needy and vulnerable when it comes to men. Unfortunately partying tends to bring that side out of her and she’s a lot more appealing to John when she parties less.’

The saga is the latest twist in Aniston’s perpetually tangled love life, which has spiralled downwards since her marriage to Brad Pitt ended in 2005.

Before moving on to Mayer, she endured failed romances with actor Vince Vaughan and British model Paul Sculfor.

She was recently linked to the Scottish actor Gerard Butler, but sources say the pair are merely collaborating on an upcoming film.
