When Eleven was first introduced on the show, we didn't know her exact age — only that her mother had been trying to find her for about 12 years.

Now that about two years have passed, that would mean Eleven is approximately 14 years old.

Finn Wolfhard is now 19 years old, though his character Mike Wheeler is meant to be around 14.
