The question really got sticky after Collins herself weighed in and seemed to have a whole different idea about her character’s backstory. “I don’t believe we’ve ever given her a specific ‘number’ for her age, but I believe that she’s pretty fresh out of college. Maybe this is her first year after graduation,” Collins told British Voguein October 2020, seemingly glossing over the whole master’s-degree thing. “I want to say she’s like, 22-ish. She’s had enough experience at her company in Chicago to have earned the respect of her boss. She’s gone to school for this, and she’s completed internships… She’s not the person who traveled during college. She was really, really focused on her jobs in the Midwest, and I don’t think she’s been abroad." Thankfully, now that Emily in Paris Season 2 has finally arrived, we have an answer to the question: Exactly how old is Emily? In a Season 2 preview video, Netflix promised “Season 2 clears that right up,” as Emily will celebrate her birthday, which means “we’ll learn how many candles she’s earned.” The Netflix video also showed Emily telling roommate Mindy (Ashley Park) that it’s a “nothing birthday,” clueing in viewers that they shouldn’t expect something over-the-top like the big 3-0! There’s just one problem with Emily’s Season 2 age reveal: If you blink, you’ll miss it! Peek below to find out how old Emily is on Emily in Paris and where you’ll find the Easter egg that reveals her age.
How old is Emily on Emily in Paris?
Drumroll, please (and Season 2 spoiler warning for those who haven’t seen it yet!!)… In the third episode of Emily in Paris Season 2, Emily turns 29! Nobody actually says Emily’s age out loud in the episode, however. So how do we know? Nearly 10 minutes into episode 3, Emily receives a flood of b-day messages via social media. As each one pops up on the screen, one reads, “29 years jeune! Happy Birthday @emilyinparis.” That post, incidentally, was shared by Vaga-Jeune, which is like a little Easter egg callback. As you may remember from Season 1, that’s the female personal lubricant brand that Emily was given as a client, then helped go viral when she posted defiantly, “Le vagin n’est pas masculin!” Translation: The vagina—which is assigned the masculine pronoun “le” in French—isn’t masculine!
