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. Jamie shares that he is 23.
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.
Though the books have Claire time traveling from the year 1946, the Starz series has her journey from 1945, which means that, in the TV series, Claire meets Jamie when he is 22, and she is 27. Outlander season 5 spans from 1770 to 1772, with Claire at 54 when the season begins and Jamie at 49.
How old is Jaime in season 1 when he and Claire married? He's 22.
Jamie marries Claire to keep her from falling into the hands of the evil Captain "Black Jack" Randall. They have one child, Faith, who doesn't survive birth; an adopted son named Fergus; and a daughter, Brianna.
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.
Jamie: "Claire, it was you. It's always been you, and it always will be. Get into bed and put the candle out.
This one stings.
"He fell in love when she broke down and wept in his arms and let him comfort her," the author says. Jamie falling first was inevitable since he didn't have the complications of having a secret double life and spouse in the future like Claire.
The writers of Outlander made a big change to the series from the source material in season three. In the third outing, Jamie Fraser (played by Sam Heughan) tied the knot with Laoghaire MacKenzie (Nell Hudson) during the 20 years while Claire (Caitriona Balfe) was in the future.
'” Addressing why Claire made the decision to hang onto her husband, producer Maril Davis went on to explain: “Claire wants a father for her daughter. “To me, that's the ultimate sacrifice that she chose living in an unhappy marriage because she wanted a family unit for her daughter.”
Margaret's vision produces the following information: "When twice 1,200 moons have coursed, 'tween man's attack and woman's curse, and when the issue is cut down, then will a Scotsman wear a crown.” To put it simply, it's Brianna, the baby who was born 200 years after she was conceived.
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.
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.
Outlander fans were left devastated after couple Jamie and Claire were forced apart by historical events at the end of season two. Claire went back through the stones and to the 20th century where she was reunited with her first husband Frank Randall (Tobias Menzies).
We all know what it's like being a 16-year-old girl. And while she was at an age where marriage would definitely have been considered, she was still only 16. Think of the hormones that surge at this point in a teen's life.
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.
Jamie did remain faithful to Claire. It didn't stop him from being aroused. However, it just made him miss and want Claire more. Even in their 50s, the two are ready to be with each other sexually.
It began in the form of a bad haircut, after Malva and housekeeper Mrs Bug cut Claire's hair off to ease the fever. Poor Claire.
Author Diana Gabaldon, who wrote the book series upon which the Starz TV show is based, has confirmed that it is Jamie's ghost that Frank saw, but she's also stated repeatedly that Jamie cannot travel forward in time.
After the dust has settled, and with assistance from Ned Gowan, Jamie's marriage to Laoghaire is declared invalid – as Claire was clearly still alive – and he agrees to pay her a yearly fee and provide a dowry for each of her two daughters.
Nonetheless, Jamie did have sexual relations with Laoghaire in a bid to make the marriage work but ultimately failed and so the couple separated. Additionally, it seems Jamie was acting of out duty to his new wife however past trauma meant Laoghaire was unable to reciprocate.
So, this entire episode of Outlander basically revolved around an evil snake (Lord Voldemort, is that you?) biting Jamie's thigh, and it was all extremely dramatic and angsty so let's get right to it.
Claire obtains an orgasm, which surprises Jamie, and proves the two have crazy chemistry. (I mean, they go at it again before the episode is through.) It also feels like this is the true first time. Their marriage's earlier consummation was a perfunctory act designed to solidify a legal contract.
Jamie's Secret is a story about a nine-year-old who loves soccer, playing with her best friend Sadie, and collecting crystals. She loves hugging and climbing trees, watching butterflies, and soaring on her swing. Jamie loves life and everything that points to it.
