Anthony Kiedis' girlfriend, Eileen Kelly, is opening up about what it's like to have a boyfriend who is more than twice her age.
Kelly, 30, who speaks frequently on topics related to sex and dating, wrote about being in a relationship with the legendary Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman, 63, in a Vogue essay titled "My Boyfriend Is Double My Age". While Kelly doesn't specifically name Kiedis in the essay, the couple have been spotted together frequently, so there's no doubt who she's talking about.
The essay kicks off with Kelly discussing another friend's breakup, sharing that the friend was heartsick after another man in his thirties treated her poorly. Kelly recommends that she "try dating someone older."
That's when Kelly delves into the parts about dating Kiedis.
"My own boyfriend is more than twice my age, which is either alarming or impressive, depending on who you ask," wrote Kelly, who added that the "age gap didn't register at first." She said her boyfriend "seems genuinely excited to be with me" and knows "he's one lucky bastard."

The Downside of Dating Someone Twice Your Age
However, Kelly spoke about the downsides of being an age-gap relationship, including the feedback from others.
"One of the more shocking aspects of being in an age-gap relationship has been the unsolicited commentary in public. It happens in passing. A question: 'Is that your dad?' Or, directed at him, with a performative smile: 'Your daughter is so beautiful.' The remarks come with a cheerful bluntness, suggesting a certain satisfaction at having correctly identified the matter at hand, and it’s incredibly awkward every time. There is no sense that anything has been overstepped. If anything, it’s the opposite: a pride in just saying the thing that others were probably thinking," Kelly wrote, adding that a friend was once "visibly disappointed when she shared about the relationship, and that they speak less often now.
Kelly also noted that their relationship doesn't have an unbalanced power dynamic, because she isn't entirely reliable on Kiedis for her wellbeing. She has her own career, finances, and home.
"I love my boyfriend, but I’m not at risk of losing everything if we break up," she wrote.
Kelly concluded by saying that the couple's "reality is comparatively unremarkable. From the inside, we’re mostly just two people doing the ongoing, unremarkable work of moving through life together."
