Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis, 62, appeared cheerful and comfortable while enjoying a romantic weekend in Venice with his brunette partner, leaving his 19-year-old fiancée at home with their children

Anthony Kiedis, the iconic lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, appears to be turning a fresh page in his romantic life. At 54, the rock legend was spotted soaking in the romantic atmosphere of Venice, Italy, with a mystery brunette, suggesting he's moved on from his past heartbreak with Australian model Helena Vestergaard.

Kiedis kept it laid-back with a yellow T-shirt, black jeans, and a tie-dye hoodie, while his companion added a dash of urban cool with a leather jacket, ripped jeans, and round sunglasses, all tied together with a sleek crossbody bag and sturdy boots. The pair strolled along the canals, clearly enjoying each other's company.

A Love Life That Inspires Lyrics

Kiedis hasn’t shied away from discussing how past relationships have shaped him creatively. His 2014 breakup with Helena Vestergaard deeply influenced the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ 2016 album, The Getaway. Speaking to The Sun, he admitted:

“I was a mess for the last year of my life. To be so in love with somebody and then have it not work out… I was definitely shaken and saddened.”

Since then, Kiedis has been seen with a number of brunette beauties, including Wanessa Milhomem, and has been linked in the past to Jessica Stam and Heidi Klum. He also shares a son, Everly Bear, with ex-girlfriend Heather Christie.

This recent Venice sighting shows a more peaceful and perhaps hopeful chapter in the rocker’s ever-colorful love story.
