My Life with the Walter Boys on Netflix is the kind of show that makes you forget that the characters are still in high school!
The messy love triangle between Cole, Jackie, and Alex remains at the heart of Season 2, which premiered on August 28, 2025.
What are the probable ages of these characters during My Life with the Walter Boys Season 2?
How old are Cole and Jackie in season 2?
At the start of My Life with the Walter Boys Season 2, Nikki Rodriguez's character Jackie Howard is just 15. She was only a sophomore when we first saw her in Season 1, but is now a junior at Silver Falls High.
And she is dealing with far more mental strain than a teenage girl should!
It's already too much for her after losing her family in an awful accident and starting over in a house full of loud boys. Her age is a crucial clue that she is trying to manage her first love while juggling a significant amount of emotional baggage, particularly when two brothers are fighting for her.
On the other hand, Cole Walter is 17 and two years older than Jackie. Cole (played by Noah LaLonde) is a high school senior who had to give up football after suffering a serious injury and working as an assistant coach.
Cole grows quickly in season 2, but is still a mysterious rebel.
His bond with Jackie is driven by his vulnerability.
Considering that Jackie is still getting her bearings and Cole is getting close to adulthood, the final declaration hits even harder. Although they are only two years apart, it is quite a gap for teenagers.
Jackie is still learning who she is, while Cole has begun to make decisions about his future and college. Their love story is more than a typical high school romance, mainly due to the stress that fuels their mutual attraction and repulsion.
How old is Alex, then?
The 16-year-old "nice brother," Alex Walter, is in the same school year as Jackie. Alex has grown in this season as he is unusually mature in his response to Jackie's kiss with Cole in Season 1. Ashby Gentry (the actor who plays him) even told People that Alex's growing up was carefully planned.
And he is finally out of Cole's shadow.
Melanie Halsall, the showrunner, said to Netflix Tudum that she wanted fans to take in Jackie's confusion and heartbreak:
“Of course she doesn’t know what she wants romantically, because her heart is completely broken.”
This plurality complicates Jackie's love for both brothers.
So, Jackie is 15, Alex is 16, and Cole is 17.
Considering these facts, every awkward decision made in Season 2 makes a lot more sense! My Life with the Walter Boys turns small-town high school drama into a genre that rarely feels like teenage heartache.
