John Mayer is looking for love in all the wrong places.

America’s most eligible bachelor is single and on the prowl, and he’s not ashamed to admit it. His latest conquest? David Foster’s Instagram. Yes, John Mayer abandoned the ritual of sliding into a love interest’s DMs and went straight for her father’s Instagram comments. The songwriter posted a sweet birthday message to his 35-year-old daughter, Erin, one of five daughters in the Foster brood. He captioned a picture of the two, “?one of the loves of my life and my fav daughter on this day!!! Happy bday @erinfoster #iloveyou.” John Mayer then got straight to the point, commenting, “Can you put a good word in for me?”

If this love pair were to work out, the 39-year-old singer would be entering into a complicated family structure — one that involves names like Hadid and Jenner. David Foster is recently divorced from Yolanda Hadid, formerly of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and mother to Gigi, Bella, and Anwar Hadid. You may have heard of them. To add to the family’s high-powered connections, the Hadids are loosely related to the Kardashian-Jenners. The story goes that Caitlyn Jenner was once married to a woman named Linda Thompson, and after their divorce Linda married the composer David Foster. Are you keeping up, John?

That’s not to say that Erin Foster wouldn’t have some webs to untangle herself. Mayer’s dating history is as infamous as his discography. And according to his most recent ex, Katy Perry, he might not be opposed to singing duets in the shower. Let’s hope that some of that Foster love of music rubbed off (and that she knows the lyrics to Mayer’s Daughters).

So, Erin Foster, wyd?
