Kiedis has been open about his past drug addiction from a young age, and was raised in Hollywood alongside his father Blackie Dammett, born John Kiedis. Blackie, who played a drug dealer in Lethal Weapon, would later admit in BBC1 documentary ONE life: Help! My Kid's a Rock Star that he introduced his son to sex and drugs from a young age. "It wasn't so unusual that I let him take a little bit of acid, or a little bit of marijuana," he said in the doc. Kiedis would later develop a crippling heroin addiction, which in itself became an inspiration for songs including Under The Bridge. Performing with the Chili Peppers since 1982, Kiedis credits being a dad to Everly for "teaching him patience" and keeping him clean. Sober since 2000, Anthony previously said: 'As every heroin addict will know, temptation is always there. But becoming a father has given me a reason to live and stay clean for good.' By 2015, Everly followed in his mom and dad's footsteps, becoming the face of a Marc Jacobs campaign alongside Kiedis. 4 The pair spent an afternoon at Washington Square Park Credit: Splash

Ione Skye reveals Red Hot Chili Peppers' front man Anthony Kiedis got her pregnant at 17
Ione Skye, in her new memoir Say Everything, claims Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis got her pregnant when she was 17 and they decided to terminate the pregnancy. Skye, now 54, recounts that she was 16 when she began dating the then-24-year-old Kiedis. She shares that, despite her childhood dreams of motherhood, she realized at the time that having a child with Kiedis—who struggled with heroin addiction—was not the right decision for her future. 'I was taking care of myself now, making a choice that felt good and important for my future,' Skye writes. She adds that Kiedis did not attend the abortion appointment, citing feelings of guilt. However, Skye expresses no regrets over her decision, emphasizing the challenges of raising a child in her circumstances, with someone who was not ready to be a father. Skye also opens up about the criticism she faced on social media regarding her relationship with Kiedis, particularly from TikTok users questioning her being with him at such a young age. She responded by sharing her side of the story and the difficult context surrounding their romance. The memoir also delves into other aspects of Skye's life, including her relationship with her father, her marriage to Beastie Boys' Adam Horovitz, and her bisexuality. Skye also speaks about her current marriage to musician Ben Lee and their daughter, Goldie Priya Lee. Skye notes that while she remains in contact with Kiedis' mother, she has not spoken to him in years.
