Okay, let’s be honest. You’ve just had a flashback. It’s 1993, you’re wearing a bucket hat, and you’re crying over Gary Barlow’s cheekbones. Now you’re here, in 2026, wondering: how old are those lads now? Grab your coffee. Let’s do the math—and brace yourself.
The Golden Boy: Gary Barlow
Gary was born on January 20, 1971. That makes him 55 in 2026. I know. Fifty-five. He’s now closer to sixty than he is to “Back for Good.” But honestly? He still looks like he smells like vanilla and tax exemptions. He’s basically the Paul McCartney of British pop—eternal, slightly bossy, forever in charge.
Gary is still writing songs. Still judging things. Still wearing that little smirk. Let’s call him the wise uncle who knows where the biscuits are.

Howard Donald: The Ageless Dancer
Howard was born April 28, 1968. So in 2026, he’s 58. Fifty-eight. Remember when he was doing backflips in the “Pray” video? Now he’s probably doing backflips... to get off the sofa. But honestly, the man hasn’t aged a day. He’s like a Dorian Gray portrait that someone forgot to hang. He still has that mischievous twinkle. He’s proof that dancing in your thirties locks in your youth. Science? I’m making it up. But look at him.
Jason Orange: The Mystery Man
Ah, Jason. Born July 10, 1970. That makes him 55 in 2026. But here’s the kicker: where is he? Jason left the band in 2014 and basically vanished into a cloud of zen. He’s probably meditating in a cabin right now. Or growing kale. He’s the one who escaped the circus. We don’t know what he looks like today. That’s the magic. He’s the Bigfoot of pop. You can’t age if we never see you, Jason. Well played.

Mark Owen: The Lovable Underdog
Mark was born January 27, 1972. So he’s 54 in 2026. Still cute. Still a bit scruffy. Still looks like he’d apologize if you bumped into him. Mark has this weird Benjamin Button thing happening. He looks younger now than he did in 1995. Is it the hair? The yoga? The divorce? Who knows. He’s the one you want to have a pint with. He’d probably share his crisps.
He’s also still making music. Solo stuff. It’s good! But we all secretly hope he’s planning a reunion. Don’t we?

Robbie Williams: The Wild Card
Oh, Robbie. Born February 13, 1974. That means he’s 52 in 2026. Fifty-two. And he’s still doing cartwheels on stage in Vegas. He’s the one who never learned to adult. And thank goodness. Robbie has the energy of a Labrador puppy who just discovered cocaine. He’s also a dad now. Four kids! Imagine Robbie trying to get a toddler to eat broccoli. It’s probably a musical number. He’s the guy who ages in spirit only. His face? Slightly creased from grinning too much.
So, What’s the Damage?
Let’s put it bluntly. The average age of Take That in 2026 is 54.8. That’s basically a midlife crisis in a boy band. But here’s the thing: they were never just a boy band. They’re men now. Men with mortgages and back problems and opinions on gardening. And yet, when you hear “Never Forget” at a wedding, you still scream the words. Age is a number. Take That is forever.

Would they tour again? Probably not. But if they did, would you pay £200 for a ticket? Absolutely. You’d sit there with your sciatica, waving a lighter. Because some things don’t age. A good pop song is one of them.
So here’s to them. Gary, Howard, Jason, Mark, and Robbie. Old enough to be your dad. Young enough to still make you dance. In 2026, they’re not old. They’re vintage. And that’s way cooler.
