Anthony Kiedis was spotted enjoying a night out on the town with his much-younger girlfriend on Friday evening. 

The Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman, 63, was seen kissing the 31-year-old girlfriend on the street after their dinner date at the celebrity-frequented hotspot E. Baldi in Beverly Hills.

He and his girlfriend Eileen Kelly, a sex educator and author, were spotted walking hand-in-hand as they strolled out of the eatery and toward his motorcycle.

The couple, who share a 33-year age gap, put on their helmets and jackets then enjoyed a lip-lock before hopping on the bike and jetting off together.

The Daily Mail has reached out to a representative for Kiedis for comment. 

Their outing comes just a little over a week after Irish media personality Vogue Williams called out Kiedis for his age-gap relationships.

Earlier this year, the rock star’s girlfriend also dished on their age-gap romance and defended their relationship. 

On Thursday, August 13, Williams joined the latest to publicly scrutinize Kiedis for dating a 19-year-old model when he was in his early 50s back in 2013. 

She called him out for his long-documented history of dating significantly younger woman on her podcast and said ‘just because you can doesn’t mean you should.’ 

Williams shared her disappointment at his dating history and pointed out his past relationship with Australian model Helena Vestergaard when she was still a teenager.

On a recent episode of her podcast My Therapist Ghosted Me, told co-host Joanne McNally: ‘Do you know who else I find really disappointing and hasn’t broken the law — but really disappointing because I really like the Red Hot Chili Peppers — Anthony Kiedis, and he is like 54 or something and he is going out with a 19-year-old. And it is like, “Dude, what are you talking about?”‘ 

She questioned what conversations people have with their partners of a significantly younger age.

What do you think draws people to relationships with such massive age gaps, and is it ever justified?

However, she noted that ‘rockstars like him can get away with it’ because some women ‘want to be going out with a millionaire rockstar who is going to treat them like a princess and they’re going to have a gorgeous life.’ 

When Kiedis is not touring with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, he is a devoted dad to his 18-year-old son Everly Bear Kiedis.

He shares his son with his model ex-girlfriend Heather Christie, 40. Kiedis previously said he cherishes the experiences fatherhood has given him. 

In a 2012 interview with Fuse, he gushed: ‘I love the [daddy] club. Good God, it’s a beautiful club. Who knew? You can’t know until you go. It’s wild.’ 

He also said, at the time, that he has no plans of slowing down. 

‘I think people that have fear that, “Oh, if I have a kid, I won’t be able to do this and I won’t be able to do that.” It’s kind of the opposite. It really gives you energy. It makes people better.’

In late April, Kiedis’ girlfriend addressed their 33-year age gap and opened up about dating the much-older, rock star, whom she noted is ‘more than twice [her] age’ in an essay published in Vogue. 

Though she did not specifically name Kiedis in the essay, she had been spotted with him on multiple occasions since earlier this year.

The pair were rumored to be dating since they were spotted together at Charli XCX’s post-Grammys party in February.

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.’
