So, what’s really going on with My Life with the Walter Boys star Nikki Rodriguez’s age?

Right, there’s been a lot of drama around one of Netflix’s top shows right now, My Life with the Walter Boys, especially regarding the age of its star, Nikki Rodriguez.

On the show, Nikki plays Jackie Howard, a 15-year-old in season one and 16 in season two. Totally believable for the story. Jackie is navigating a huge life change after losing her parents and gets caught in a love triangle with the Walter brothers. But the real-life drama starts with Nikki herself.

Several sources, including IMDB and Wikipedia, have listed Nikki as 22 years old. People initially assumed this was accurate, but then some users on TikTok and Reddit noticed old photos of Nikki from the mid-2000s, which led them to question whether she could really be that young.

So, how old is Nikki Rodriguez actually?

According to The U.S. Sun, public records show her full name as Nicole Marie Rodriguez and her birthdate as July 1992, meaning she’s 33 years old in 2025. She even graduated high school in 2010, which supports this. The Sun also notes that she grew up in Minnesota and moved to Los Angeles at 15 to pursue acting.

Nikki herself has never publicly confirmed her age. A 2023 Vanity Fair profile described her as a “petite 20-something” and mentioned that she’s loath to reveal her exact age. She’s clearly let the speculation continue, which naturally fuels more rumours.

It’s worth noting that playing a teen while being in your 30s isn’t unusual in Hollywood. Co-stars Ashby Gentry and Noah LaLonde, who play Alex and Cole Walter, are 26 and 27 respectively. Yet they’re portraying characters younger than their real ages. People on Reddit have even commented on how young Nikki looks, which is probably why she can convincingly play a teenager.

So basically, even though Nikki hasn’t confirmed her age herself, public records and graduation photos reveal she’s 33 years old.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I think she needs to drop her skincare routine, because clearly she’s doing something right.
