For the record, this isn’t even the first time the ages were unconfirmed.

The creators have been pretty consistent in dodging actual numbers because they wanna leave it up for people to relate to the characters - to see them the ages they want. Everyone is going to see different ages for their favorite characters, and that’s okay. And yes, Josh Keaton is an official source, just as much as Jeremy Shada confirming Lance is Cuban and Tyler Labine confirming Hunk is Samoan are also official sources.

There is no massive age gap between the characters either, as shown in this interview with Montgomery and Dos Santos from last year:

The official website and the comics, written by Tim Hedrick and Mitch Iverson themselves also mention the five paladins are teenagers. No explicit ages are given.

The video that talks about the ages don’t confirm any numbers either. Hunk, Keith and Lance are said to be late teens, which is not a number set down in stone - and Shiro was given “that’s a safe zone” when asked if he was 25. Meaning he could be younger or older than 25, it’s up to you.

This was reiterated by Tim Hedrick himself last year:

Multiple people are going around saying Hunk, Keith and Lance are canonically 16/17 and that Shiro is canonically 25. It’s a nice headcanon, but it’s not how everyone sees it due to multiple official sources saying nothing is confirmed. People see things differently, it’s not a hard concept to grasp. Attacking people - both fans and creators - because of a headcanon is not something any of the people involved with the show condone, as they’ve mentioned multiple times.

discourse age discourse long post this is the only post ill reblog about this here since it has sources and everything and is not hating on other peoples headcanons

Lance: Keith, I’m so happy I could kiss you!

Keith: (nervous gay laughter) Um………………. neat!

(later)

Keith: (lying face down on his bed) I can’t believe I said ‘neat’, Shiro. ‘Neat.’ Nobody says ‘neat’ anymore! It’s the goddamn 21st century!! It’s not neat to say neat, but I said it anyway because I’m! A huge loser!

Shiro: (idly turns magazine page) Hey, don’t beat yourself up. Everyone gets nervous sometimes. Remember what happened when Allura confessed to me?

Keith: Didn’t you like, thank her?

Shiro: (closes magazine to stare at the ceiling) I thanked her.

When you’re not straight, dating is a lot like trying to get a job: either you try online or get a referral from a friend

Straight dating can be that way too, especially if you’re not outgoing

Okay but like you can literally walk to the grocery store and find your potential mate without fear of judgement or being harmed. I can’t just walk into a Home Depot and shout “anybody queer in here?” So yeah
