Rico from Hannah Montana is written to be around early teens during most of the show, and the actor who played him, Moisés Arias, is currently in his early 30s.

Quick Scoop: How old is Rico from Hannah Montana?

If you mean the character Rico Suave Jr. on the show:

  • According to the Hannah Montana –focused wiki, Rico’s in-universe age is:
    • Season 1: about 11–12 years old
* Season 2: about 12–13 years old

* Season 3: about 13–14 years old

* Season 4: about 15–16 years old
  • A character profile lists his fictional birthday as May 30, 1994, which would make him 31 years old in 2025 in “canon time,” not real life.

If you mean the actor who played Rico, Moisés Arias:

  • Moisés Arias was born April 18, 1994, in Chicago.
  • That makes him 31 years old in 2025 and turning 32 in April 2026.
  • He was about 12 when Hannah Montana premiered in 2006, which fits why Rico always felt like the younger, mischievous kid among the main cast.

Tiny fun context

  • Fans often thought Rico was much younger (some jokes even said “5 years old”), but discussions and reference wikis agree he was written as only about two years younger than Miley and the others, just shorter and a grade-skipping “genius.”
