Here is how Age Uncovered researches and presents ages.
Where birth dates come from
| Source | How we use it |
|---|---|
| Official records and government biographies | Highest priority |
| League, federation and Olympic profiles | Used for athletes |
| Interviews and verified social posts | Used to confirm dates |
| Reliable news archives | Used for timelines and milestones |
| Fan wikis | Leads only, never a final source |
How we calculate ages
We store the birth date and calculate the age when the page loads, using the visitor’s current date. That means ages are right every day of the year, including on birthdays. For Korean stars we use international age, the official system in South Korea since 2023.
Milestone ages
When we write “she was 22 when the album came out”, we calculate it from the exact release date and the exact birth date. If a release date is uncertain, we say “about”.
What we leave out
- Private information that public figures haven’t shared
- Birth dates of celebrities’ children
- Speculation about health or personal life
