How old is Kitty Pryde (Earth 616)?
When Kitty Pryde was introduced in Uncanny X-Men 129, she was described as being 13 years old. In Uncanny X-Men 141, we are shown a grown up Katherine Pryde - specifically in the year 2013. We are not explicitly told her age, but she is visibly older - arguably 30 years older than her then-current 13 year old self.
Comics, in general, use a sliding time scale where time only really passes as necessary - or to make important relevant links to reality (e.g.: The Amazing Spider-Man #36). This, of course, creates some continuity issues Although we have now caught up with the year of The Days Of Future Past, none of the characters depicted have visibly aged nearly as much as the story showed us.
In Earth-616, Kitty has grown up and graduated college (though being a genius means this probably happened at an accelerated rate). She has graduated from the X-Men, joined Excalibur and returned back to the X-Men (repeatedly). From the very beginning, there was a love interest between Kitty and Peter Rasputin (Colossus), but editors didn't approve of a 14 and 19 year old in a relationship. They have since both grown up and consummated that relationship.
Despite there being a lot of attention being paid to her age early on, there does not seem to be many clues to Kitty's current age. Are there any other indications of how old Kitty is in Earth-616?

I think that her age was mentioned in one of the new "All new X-Men" books. If I recall correctly, she was still very young, but I have to check again.

There's also that period of time she spent phased while in that space bullet. Does she age when she's phased?

She may not physically age, I'm not sure if that has ever been covered in the comics, but she would still be older. She was alive and aware all the time she was phased so she'd be older even if she hadn't physically aged.

With a sliding time scale, as characters get older, their ages compress together. Thus Kitty was originally the "youngest" X-Man, much younger than founding members like Scott & Jean. Now that she is older, there are many younger X-Men around, but Kitty is still younger than Scott, even though Scott is usually depicted as being in his early 40s at the oldest.

In the current comics, she's consistently treated as being around 30, give or take a few years.

So she was introduced in the early 1980s!
My guess is she was born in 1970.
So I was 25 to her 13.
In the MCU she's depicted as almost 16 and when Deadpool came out Colossus I'd only present.
And he sounds like 30 to her 25. So a one shot MCU short could visit their doomed romance.
Instead, she's treated like a character with no development.
I think it has to do with nobody realizing she's a genius, and just another fluff.
That's why I don't believe MCU is canon.
