The musician started dating Australian model Helena Vestergaard in 2013, and they split after being together for approximately two years.

Before that, Kiedis, now 63, had a relationship with Heather Christie, who was 22 years his junior. When the pair welcomed their son, Everly Bear, in 2007, Kiedis was 44 and his partner was 21.

In the latest episode of My Therapist Ghosted Me, Williams and her co-host Joanne McNally discussed age-gap relationships, with the former I’m a Celebrity campmate saying: “Do you know who else I find really disappointing, because I really like the Red Hot Chili Peppers? Anthony Kiedis.”

Seemingly referring to his romance with Vestergaard, Williams continued: “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?’”

McNally replied: “I’ve seen this. I just accept now that most men, all men, are drawn to – I’m going to be very careful how I say this – significantly younger women. That’s all I’m going to say. It is what it is and I don’t think there’s any getting away from it. We judge it but it’s not going to change.”

“I would have to say that it is not all men,” Williams continued. “Because I do think it is a very specific thing.”

Addressing why younger women might decide to date older men, McNally added: “And of course, people like him [Anthony Kiedis] and rockstars like him can get away with it because no 19-year-old girl wants to be going out with some old lad who is driving a Toyota Corolla around town.

    It’s an interesting point. I don’t masturbate to girls my own age tbh. I don’t go on Tik Tok either just to be clear, I mean the second part with the 19/20 year olds.

    Ed: I mean I’m older but I don’t consume porn with actors in my own age bracket for the most part.

    You have to go out of your way to search for porn with middle aged or older folk in it. I doubt most people here actually do.

    Everyone knows dating with huge age gaps is not acceptable but most of the porn being watched has that age gap between the viewer and the actors.

    It’s kind of whack how normalized it is. Barely 18 is a massive search term for instance (quite gross if you think about it). Arguably the world’s biggest porn star (Belle Delphine) looks younger than 18 imo. I don’t want to get started on japan or Tik Tok.

              I watch amateur porn of people around my age more often than not.

              The “barely legal” stuff is gross now that I’m older.

                So you’re typing in like “amateur 40 years old” or something? It’s hard to understand without knowing your age bracket but if you’re in your twenties, then by default you are getting people around your own age.

                I figured most people don’t filter by age and get the default. I haven’t had in depths conversation about it though so I could be wrong.

                If I think of my own habits, I don’t ignore videos with girls my own age but almost 90% of what’s offered so to speak is actors in an age bracket that would make dating them socially unacceptable.

                  I’m in my 40s.

                  There’s quite a lot of amateur stuff out there that is produced by people around my age. I can’t say for sure that everything I watch is with people my age, but I’m definitely not watching people that are teenagers.
