Anthony Kiedis’s girlfriend Eileen Kelly addressed their 33-year age gap romance. The 30-year-old writer dished about her relationship with her much-older, rock star boyfriend, who she noted is ‘more than twice [her] age’ in an essay. 

Though she did not specifically name Kiedis, 63, in the essay, she has been spotted with the Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman on multiple occasions recently, including at Charli XCX’s post-Grammys party in February.

She penned a piece for Vogue titled ‘My Boyfriend Is Double My Age,’ which was published on Tuesday.

She revealed that her romance with Kieidis is her ‘first time dating someone significantly older’ and jokingly added that she has been ‘missing out my whole life.’

In her essay, she also opened up about receiving ‘unsolicited commentary in public’ including people mistaking him for her dad, which she noted is ‘incredibly awkward every time.’ 

In her essay, she revealed that they met at a mutual friend’s birthday party and bonded over their shared love of Hawaii, where he owns a house.

She noted that others may perceive their age difference as ‘either alarming or impressive, depending on who you ask.’ 

‘There is something to be said for a man who’s simply had more time to get his s*** together, and my much older boyfriend seems genuinely excited to be with me,’ she wrote.

She said that their relationship is ‘not like he’s biding his time before he can swipe for someone better.’

‘He is fully aware that he’s one lucky bastard,’ she added.

She also said that there is no power imbalance in their relationship. 

‘I have my own money, my own career, and I have my own home,’ she wrote. ‘I love my boyfriend, but I’m not at risk of losing everything if we break up.’ 

She continued: ‘It’s hard not to see that distance between needing and wanting as part of the balance that makes the relationship possible. If I were 18, or even 21, the scales would be weighted far differently.’
