Simply so, how old is everyone in GREY's anatomy?
The series began in 2005, and most people are about 26 years old when they start their medical residency. The story begins when heroine Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) enters the first year of her residency program, so, she should be about 26 at that point and about 42 now, 16 seasons later, right? Wrong.
Beside above, how old is Meredith in GREY's? Another poster used an event from the show to gauge Meredith's age: “When they introduced Maggie, they said she was born in November 1983, and Meredith was 5, so that would mean she was born in 1978.” If Meredith truly was 29 at the show's outset, that would mean she's now 42.
Similarly, you may ask, what is the age gap between Meredith and Derek?
The two were originally never meant to be together romantically and yet here we are. On top of all of this, Meredith and DeLuca have a significant age difference. She's around 40-41 and DeLuca is about 29. This 10-year gap is nothing to sneeze at for Meredith, who has mainly dated older men.
How much older is Meredith than Lexie?
It means that there's no mathematical solution as to why Lexie Grey was 22 (or unlikely 23) years old when she started her Surgical Intern Program. Let's also remember that she's now 5 years (if not more) younger than her “half-sister” Meredith – born in 1979 and now, at the end of Season 3, approximately 27 years old.
