Monica Lewinsky was 22 years old when her sexual relationship with President Bill Clinton began.

Quick Scoop

  • Monica Lewinsky was born on July 23, 1973.
  • She started as a White House intern in 1995 at age 21.
  • The affair with President Clinton began later in 1995, when she was 22 and he was 49.

In forum and news discussions today, this age gap and the power imbalance (a 22‑year‑old intern and a 49‑year‑old president) are central to how people now reassess the scandal, especially in the context of the Me Too era.

Many recent commentaries frame Lewinsky less as a “celebrity gossip” figure and more as someone who was very young and vulnerable in an extreme power- imbalance situation.

TL;DR

She was 22 years old when she was involved with President Clinton.
