Anthony Kiedis' Girlfriend Attends Concert Amid Scrutiny Over Age Gap Relationships

Anthony Kiedis' 31-year-old girlfriend, Eileen Kelly, attended a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert this week, drawing attention after the 63-year-old frontman faced criticism for his relationships with significantly younger women.

Kelly, a sex and dating writer for Vogue, posted about the event at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on Instagram, sharing a photo of herself in a musical note dress. "First time seeing my baby perform!!" she wrote in the post, which also mentioned celebrating a friend's engagement.

Also in attendance was 27-year-old model and actress Lily-Rose Depp, who was seen wearing a bright blue dress. Some social media users expressed surprise that this was Kelly's first time attending one of Kiedis' performances, given their relationship reportedly began in November 2025.

In August, podcaster Vogue Williams publicly scrutinized Kiedis' dating patterns on her podcast, "My Therapist Ghosted Me." Williams called out Kiedis for his history of dating much younger women, including a past relationship with Australian model Helena Vestergaard when she was a teenager and he was in his 50s. Williams stated on her podcast, "just because you can doesn't mean you should."

Williams suggested that women might be drawn to relationships with wealthy rock stars, but also expressed disappointment in Kiedis' choices. "Do you know who else I find really disappointing and hasn't broken the law – but really disappointing because I really like the Red Hot Chili Peppers – Anthony Kiedis, and he is like 54 or something and he went out with a 19-year-old," Williams said.

Earlier this year, Kelly addressed the age gap in her relationship with Kiedis in an essay published in Vogue. While not naming Kiedis directly, she alluded to dating someone more than twice her age and described the experience as her "first time dating someone significantly older." She also mentioned experiencing "unsolicited commentary in public," including instances where people mistook Kiedis for her father, which she found "incredibly awkward every time."

Kiedis, who is also a father to his 19-year-old son, Everly Bear Kiedis, shares him with his ex-girlfriend Heather Christie. Kiedis has previously spoken about fatherhood, calling it a "the [daddy] club" a "beautiful" and stating that having a child "really gives you energy. It makes people better."
