Anthony Kiedis Seen With Eileen Kelly Amid Backlash
Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis has been spotted in public with new girlfriend Ms. Eileen Kelly, with online discussion quickly centring on the significant age gap between the two. The sighting has sparked criticism from some fans on social media, while others have framed it as another example of the singer’s long-scrutinised dating history.
Kiedis, 63, was photographed holding hands with Kelly, 30, at an airport in Los Angeles, Rock Celebrities reported, with commenters reacting to the 33-year difference between them and debating whether it feels appropriate.
The report also notes that Kelly works as a model and has written as a sex and dating columnist for Vogue, a detail that circulated alongside the images as the conversation spread. In the comment sections highlighted, some fans said the couple’s ages made the relationship uncomfortable to see, while others pointed to Kiedis’ past as context for why the news drew immediate pushback.
For long-time followers of the band, the renewed focus on Kiedis’ private life arrives as interest remains high in the Chili Peppers’ history and internal dynamics, including when Anthony Kiedis got candid about Dave Navarro and the group’s shifting line-ups over the years.
Whether Kiedis addresses the criticism or lets it pass as another brief flare-up remains to be seen, but the reaction underscores how quickly celebrity relationships can become a flashpoint online—particularly when the debate centres on age, power dynamics, and public perception.
