Vogue Williams has a message for Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis — and she is not holding back. The TV personality and podcast host has called out the 63-year-old rock star over his history of dating significantly younger women, admitting that she finds it 'really disappointing.'
Kiedis' love life has attracted attention again because of his relationship with Eileen Kelly, who is 30. The pair have a 33-year age gap. This is not the first time the musician has dated someone decades younger than him, with his past relationships including Australian model Helena Vestergaard, who was 19 when they began dating.
Vogue Williams Weighs In: 'What Are You Talking About?'
Speaking on her podcast My Therapist Ghosted Me with Joanne McNally, Williams explained why Kiedis' dating history had caught her attention.
She said it was particularly disappointing because she genuinely likes the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Williams then questioned the age gap between Kiedis and a 19-year-old woman, asking what someone in their fifties could possibly have in common with someone that young: 'It is like 'dude what are you talking about?''
McNally suggested that many older men are drawn to significantly younger women, while Williams was quick to point out that this does not apply to all men.
The conversation became even more blunt when Williams joked: 'I do think people look at him now and think ewww.'
She also told McNally that she mentioned the situation to her husband, Spencer Matthews, who is a Red Hot Chili Peppers fan. His reaction, according to Williams, was exactly the same.
Williams then summed up her feelings, saying: 'Just because you can doesn't mean you should.'
Anthony Kiedis' Controversial Dating History
Kiedis has been linked to several women who were considerably younger than him throughout his decades in the spotlight.
His early relationships included actress Ione Skye. The pair began dating in the late 1980s, when Skye was 16 and Kiedis was 24, according to her 2025 memoir, putting their age gap at eight years.
Kiedis later dated model Heather Christie. They were together from 2004 until 2008 and welcomed their son, Everly Bear, in 2007. Christie was 21 when she gave birth, while Kiedis was 44, putting the pair around 23 years apart.
The musician was then linked to Canadian model Jessica Stam in 2006, when she was 19 and he was 43 — a roughly 24-year age gap.
Then came Helena Vestergaard. Kiedis began dating the Australian model in 2013, when she was also 19 and he was around 50. Their age difference was roughly 31 years, and the pair were linked for around two years.
In 2015, Kiedis was reported dating Brazilian model Wanessa Milhomem. At the time, reports placed Kiedis at 52 and Milhomem in her early 20s, giving them an age gap of around 30 years.
He was also photographed with Ukrainian dancer and actress Marina Mazepa in 2022. Kiedis was 60 while Mazepa was 25, although the nature of their relationship was never firmly confirmed.

Who Is Kiedis Dating Now?
Kiedis is currently linked to Eileen Kelly, a writer and sex educator who is 30. The couple's 33-year age difference has inevitably become a talking point, particularly given Kiedis' previous relationships with younger women.
Kelly has spoken publicly about dating a man more than twice her age. In a 2026 Vogue essay, she discussed the realities of their age gap without naming Kiedis directly, acknowledging that people may view such relationships in very different ways.
Now, Vogue Williams' comments have brought renewed attention to Kiedis' dating history, with her remarks focusing on the significant age gaps in his relationships. While Kiedis has not publicly responded to Williams' remarks, the conversation around his sizeable age-gap relationships shows no sign of disappearing anytime soon.
