The separation between Jessica Simpson and John Mayer seems to be living up to the expectations of most - short-lived.

According to the latest AP reports, the ‘Continuum’ rocker was spotted leaving the pop star’s hotel room in NYC early Monday morning… indicating that the two have apparently decided to give their relationship another go.

While reps had publicly confirmed the end of the couple’s nine month romance last week, Jessica made a point of not talking about the split during her numerous interviews at the Cannes Film Festival.

Meanwhile, John stayed back home and tried his hand at stand-up comedy - poking fun at his ex-for-the-moment, Ms. Simpson. These antics weren’t enough to keep to two wishy-washy lovebirds away from one another for too long. After her brief stay in France, Jessica returned to the States on Monday, setting up at the Soho Grand Hotel in New York City. Not long after her check-in, company was on its way.

A fellow hotel guest who spotted John leaving Jessica’s suite told In Touch Weekly, “He was looking really happy. He couldn’t stop smiling.”

After a most assured night of make-up sex with Jessica Simpson, Mayer might just be smiling all week… and then they’ll probably break up again!

Before we get ahead of ourselves, though, we’re still awaiting official word from either camps’ reps on what the recent rendezvous means in terms of the couple’s future. In the meantime, enjoy the pictures of Jessica going out to grab a bite for lunch in NYC on Wednesday (May 23)!
