Anthony Kiedis criticized over relationship with 19-year-old

Model and presenter Vogue Williams has criticized Red Hot Chili Peppers vocalist Anthony Kiedis regarding his relationship with 19-year-old Eileen Kelly. Speaking on her podcast, ‘My Therapist Ghosted Me’, Williams expressed disappointment over the 44-year age gap, questioning the nature of their connection and stating, ‘Do you know who else I find really disappointing... Anthony Kiedis... he is going out with a 19-year-old.’

Williams’ co-host, Joanne McNally, suggested that the musician’s wealth and status may play a role in attracting much younger partners. The discussion noted that Kiedis, 63, has a history of dating significantly younger women, including a relationship with a 19-year-old in 2013.

Eileen Kelly, who hosts the podcast ‘Going Mental’, previously wrote an essay for Vogue titled ‘My Boyfriend Is Double My Age’. In the piece, she described her relationship as a normal connection despite the age difference, emphasizing her own financial independence.
