Katy Perry and John Mayer have been together for quite some time now but this is the first time they have gone ahead and got themselves clicked in some really heart warming pictures as a couple. The occasion - the release of the art cover for the duet of John and Katy's romantic love ballad "Who You Love." [Listen Below]

The melodious and utterly romantic single will be featured on Mayer's sixth studio album "Paradise Valley." To celebrate the release of the acoustic-based song, Mayer and Perry have happily (and romantically) posed together for cute black and white shots for the Vanity Fair magazine, clicked by photographer Mario Sorrenti.

The adorable pictures show Mayer and Perry sitting in a dimly lit room with Mayer holding his guitar. Katy looks gorgeous sitting behind at the couch relaxing and putting his hand adoringly at Mayer's shoulders. The beautiful lady is dressed in black dress, her hair tousled as she looks sometimes in her thoughts and at other times directly at the camera.

The intimate black-and-white photos are being used for the "Who You Love" artwork. The single and the entire album "Paradise Valley" are currently available for purchase on iTunes. Mayer seemed proud of Katy Perry's achievement and the fact that she is on a duet with him.

"Who You Love" is here. Proud of this song, proud of this artwork, proud of this girl. - JM," wrote the singer on his twitter account, Monday, as he unveiled the beautiful pictures.

John and Katy have been on-and-off and on again as a couple and even broke up once in May to get together again. Though the mostly private couple have loved to remain secretive about their relationship, this time it looks different. The two look very much in love as they sing the duet with beautiful lyrics, "If it's who you love/ then it's who you love."

In earlier interviews, Katy too has credited John as an important person in her life that brought her back to sanity when she had a very public break down and divorce with ex-Russell Brand. Let's hope the two remain very much in love and have a bright future ahead.
