Jamie and Claire have been separated for 20 years. He is hiding near Lallybroch after surviving the Battle of Culloden. Jamie is blackmailed into sleeping with Ellesmere's young fiancée Geneva and impregnates her.
Claire is about four years older than Jamie in Outlander
She was born on Oct. 20, 1918. It was 1945 when she fell through the stones, and she would have been turning 27 that year. In the show, she has already turned 27 by the time she falls through the stones as the series is set in October rather than May at first.
In the series' earlier seasons, viewers saw Claire, a World War II veteran nurse visiting Scotland just after the war, mysteriously travel 200 years into the past. She later journeyed with her new husband, Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), to several different countries; and also returned back to the future as well.
While on a second honeymoon in Scotland with her husband, Frank Randall, Claire inadvertently travels two hundred years into the past, where she meets and eventually marries Jamie Fraser.
It won't arrive soon enough, however, as Claire and Jamie have become separated on the orders of the treacherous Richard Brown. Tom promises Claire her husband is safe and would be going home but he is taking Brown's word on the matter which isn't worth very much.
When Claire returns to Scotland in the 17th century, she eventually becomes stepmother to Jamie's son by Geneva Dunsany, William Ransom, and his stepdaughter, Marsali MacKimmie Fraser, from his marriage to Laoghaire MacKenzie. She is later married to Lord John Grey.
Just as she begins to worry that Jamie might be capable of lying to her, Jamie quells her fear by revealing to her his indiscretion with Mary MacNab, a woman who worked at Lallybroch, while Claire was back in 1968 with Frank and Brianna. This confession soothes Claire, and the two find themselves realigned once again.
Claire Fraser was born on October 20, 1918.
That would make her 27-and-a-half at the time she and Jamie meet in the books, while Jamie's barely 22. This would make Claire five and a half years older than Jamie. This content is imported from twitter.
Jamie does admit he's slept with someone else, telling her about his one-night tryst with Mary MacNab (Emma Campbell-Jones) before he turned himself in to authorities following the Battle of Culloden nearly 20 years prior.
These stones come into play time and again on Outlander: Claire travels through the stones at Craigh na Dun in 1746 when Jamie brings her back to them in order to keep their baby safe, and then one more time in 1968 when she travels back to be reunited with her one, true love in 1766.
Gabaldon's math shows that Jamie is only 22 when he meets Claire for the first time, not 23. Her math also shows that the date switch makes Claire 27, so there is a five-year age group between the couple in the book.

Claire, saying “Jonathan Wolverton Randall….” Close up on Randall's face as Claire tell him his birth date: “Born, Sept 3, 1705, dies….” Claire whispers his date of death into his ear, and the camera pulls back from his face, where he knows, HE KNOWS that she is telling the truth and there's nothing he can do about it.
It helps to remember the whole timeline, which is easier when you read the books. When Jamie met /married Claire, he was a 23 year old virgin, and they were together three years before she went back through the stones pregnant with Brianna in 1746.

Director Brendan Maher told Vulture that while both Menzies and Heughan had stunt doubles for the physically demanding sequence, neither used them much. “We had people for safety, just in case, but the nature of the work is that you want the actors to do as much as they possibly can,” Maher said.
This storyline is taken from the books. In A Breath of Snow and Ashes, Claire and Tom come down with the same sickness around the same time dysentery is traveling around the Ridge.
