The Grammy winner cherishes the experiences fatherhood has given him. He shares his only child with ex-girlfriend model Heather Christie.

“I love the [daddy] club,” Kiedis said during a 2012 interview withFuse. “Good God, it’s a beautiful club. Who knew? You can’t know until you go. It’s wild.”

Kiedis has been rocking out with his bandmates since 1982, and the “Californication” singer hasn’t slowed down since welcoming his only child.

“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,’ he explained. “It’s kind of the opposite. It really gives you energy. It makes people better.”

Here’s everything to know about Anthony Kiedis’ son, Everly Bear Kiedis.

He was born in 2007

Kiedis and Christie welcomed Everly Bear Kiedis into the world on Oct. 2, 2007.

Speaking toLouder Soundin 2014, the vocalist opened up about how becoming a parent added to his life in a meaningful way.

“He was born right after we came off a tour, which was very cosmically correct,” he said. “Being a father is the coolest trip I’ve ever taken.”

Kiedis continued, “I live out in the country. I wake up to my son each day, go surfing and think about music. That works for me today. I believe my son will keep me alive and well and vibrant.”

Kiedis read parenting books while his ex-girlfriend Christie was pregnant with Everly. However, he ultimately turned to his mom for some parenting advice.

“I started reading parenting books when my son was still in his mother’s womb. I got one page in and thought: ‘I’m not going to do this. I already understand how to relate to people.’ So I put the books down and called my mom,” he explained to Louder Sound in 2014.

The “Can’t Stop” hitmaker said that parenting has taught him different skills, including how to be patient.

“No matter how quick-tempered or short-fused I can be, with my son I’ve resolved to put all my efforts into being patient with him,” he said during an interview with Louder Sound. “When he’s having a meltdown, if I just kind of sit there for five minutes then everything changes.”

They have great communication

In 2004, Kiedis published his autobiography,Scar Tissue, which details his wilder years. However, it’s not something that he’s worried about his son learning about. Everly and his dad are strong communicators, so the rocker isn’t too concerned about his child reading about his past.

“I don’t think [Scar Tissueis] going to worry him at all. He and I are extremely communicative. I think it’ll always be that way,” he explained to Louder Sound in 2014. “And I’ve got nothing to hide from him or be ashamed about. Nothing at all.”
