Just How Old Ted Lasso Characters Actually Are? Discovering Their 'Real' Age
Their 'real' ages are actually quite eye-opening.
For most of the series' run, the writers of Ted Lasso have maintained a nice balance between sports and personal stories, and fans of soccer and comedy-drama shows have enjoyed following the characters' personal and professional lives developing in parallel. But while we do know a lot about the series' characters, their age has mostly remained a mystery for viewers.
Let's see how old some of Ted Lasso's main characters are.
5. Ted Lasso
In the Season 2 episode 'No Weddings and a Funeral,' the title character tells Dr. Sharon about the traumatic events of 1991, when his father committed suicide. Ted was 16 at the time, which means he was born somewhere between 1974 and 1975. As the show is now in Season 3, Ted must be about 47–48, as is Jason Sudeikis himself.
4. Rebecca Welton
Rebecca is presumably the same age as Ted. In the same episode in Season 2, a parallel is drawn between Ted's loss and Rebecca catching her father cheating, which suggests their similar ages at the time. Also, in the first season, Rebecca revealed she was 33 when she married Rupert, and their marriage lasted 12 years, so this proves she is now 47–48 too.
3. Roy Kent
In the episode 'Carol of the Bells,' Ted's assistant coach told his niece that he had been playing professional football for 20 years. Considering that many athletes begin their careers in their late teens, we can assume that Roy is in his late 30s in Season 2. The fandom wiki also confirms this, reporting that Roy's date of birth is February 15, 1982. In Season 3, the character is 41.
2. Keeley Jones
In 'For the Children,' one of the episodes in Season 1, Keeley mentioned that she would be 30 soon, which means that she was 29 years old at the time and is now 32–33 years old. This is also confirmed by Ted Lasso Wiki , which stated that she was born in 1990.
1. Jamie Tartt
Keeley's lament in Season 1 was that she was still dating 23-year-old soccer players while already approaching her 30th birthday. She was referring to Jamie, her boyfriend at the time, who now must be 25 years old. Once again, this point is confirmed by the wiki, which reports that his date of birth is October 20, 1997.
Hopefully, now that we know the ages of these characters, it will be somewhat easier to understand them and reflect on their actions. The next episode of Ted Lasso will arrive on Apple TV+ on May 17.
