How old is Emily from Emily in Paris supposed to be?
EMILY in Paris has become the new guilty pleasure to binge-watch on Netflix. The series follows young American Emily and her travels in picturesque Paris.

How old is Emily in Emily in Paris?
Following the release of the second season of Emily in Paris, Emily Cooper's age has finally been confirmed to be 29.
Previously, Lily has speculated on her character's age, confusing fans, by saying she thought Emily was "fresh out of college".
"Maybe this is her first year after graduation. I want to say she’s like, 22-ish," she said.
"She’s had enough experience at her company in Chicago to have earned the respect of her boss."
"She’s a smart cookie and really innovative. And this is not her first rodeo doing what she does. She’s gone to school for this, and she’s completed internships."
This sent social media into a frenzy because how can a 22-year-old be so experienced and be promised a head position when she returns to Chicago?

It seems as though the actress went back on what she said, however.
"Emily looking at me when I get her age wrong," Collins captioned a GIF from the Netflix series of herself as Emily giving another character a side-eye.
"Sorry girl. You might not be 22, but I gotta say – you do act like it sometimes!!!"
