Perhaps all our clucking about whether Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer were plunging too swiftly into the shallow end of the love pool was waaay off the mark. Because now the uncouth sleuths at the New York Post's Page Six column are reporting that notoriously reclusive Jen and notoriously not-reclusive John had been secretly seeing each other for at least three months before their recent public splash together.

The Post's super snooper source says, "They'd been keeping it under wraps and hiding out together on their dates. Then Jen realized it wasn't just a fling and decided to take it public."

We think we know what happens next: Three months from now somebody will leak the information that these two broke up three months ago because their busy schedules made it impossible for them to keep love alive. So sad, on so many levels.
