Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis wants to settle down. The 43-year-old singer has confessed he used to be nervous about starting a family because he didn't want to end up like his father, John Kiedis - an actor and former drug dealer to the stars, famed for his drug use and partying. Kiedis, who is reportedly dating 19-year-old model Jessica Stam, insists he has put his concerns behind him and is ready to commit to the right woman. He revealed: "Seeing women as sex objects or imagining there is always a better one around the corner is... crippling. I don't want to be like my dad. "I've got as far as two or three-year relationships but I want more. I'm not satisfied." He added: "Recently I've understood why I'm stuck in that cycle. It's about my own character defects." Kiedis' thoughts have turned to fatherhood after seeing how happy bandmate Flea is with his four-month-old daughter, Sunny Bebop He told Britain's Q magazine: "The thought of having children made me feel less safe, less secure. But seeing Flea with his new child, I can see the opposite."
