The Age Gap That Defined Helena Vestergaard and Anthony Kiedis’ Romance
Helena Vestergaard began dating Anthony Kiedis, the lead vocalist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, in early 2013.
At the time, Helena was 19, while Anthony, born on November 1, 1962, was 50, resulting in a notable age gap of 31 years.
The couple was often seen together at public events and outings, drawing significant media attention.
However, their relationship lasted only about a year and ended in late 2014.
The brief romance was widely discussed, largely due to their substantial age difference.
In 2024, resurfaced photos of the pair reignited debates regarding their relationship and the age gap.
While some social media users criticized the relationship, labeling it disgusting, others defended them, stating that “age is just a number” when love is genuine.
After splitting from Kiedis, Helena moved on and married professional surfer Nathan Webster.
Born on February 18, 1974, Nathan is 50 years old as of December 2024, while Helena is 31. This makes for a 19-year age difference between the couple.
The couple resides in Sydney, Australia, with their two children: River, born in 2017, who is currently 7 years old, and Sway, born in 2019, who is now 5.
On the other hand, Anthony Kiedis remains unmarried and does not appear to have a girlfriend as of now.
However, he shares a 15-year-old son, Everly Bear, with his ex-girlfriend, Heather Christie.
