Jackie Howard's life couldn't get any worse after getting sent to Colorado to take some time off away from New York. Now, she has to live with the Walter boys. With that in mind, how exactly are they related in My Life with the Walter Boys?
How Are All the Walter Boys Related in the Netflix Series?
Netflix introduced a new ensemble of actors in the ten-episode series My Life with the Walter Boys.
While there were 12 Walter boys in Ali Novak's original story, including two sets of twins, and Isaac and Lee as the cousins (Katherine Walter's nephews), the series has a different spin on the story.
Instead of two sets of twins like in the original, the series features one — Cole and Danny Walter. The duo, known as 'fraternal' twin brothers are the closest among the bunch.
Will Walter is still the eldest who's the only Walter boy out of their home, and Nathan Walter is still a musician.
Jordan and Benny don't get their twins into the series, but they do get at least one sister and that is Parker, the only sister in the Walter family who likes to play football.
My Life with the Walter Boys also features the story of Isaac and Lee, the Walter boys' cousins. They were taken into the Walters' home after their father had to be deployed to serve his duty as a soldier.
Then there's Benny, the youngest in the family who doesn't have any trouble fitting in being the household's ultimate prankster.
Are All the Walter Boys Related?
Plenty of My Life with the Walter Boys viewers are theorizing that the mother of the family, Katherine, didn't look like someone who would have given birth to every kid in the house, specifically eight of them.
This brought fans to speculate on Reddit that some of the Walters might have been adopted.
During the Thanksgiving episode, Katherine explained that 'family isn't always defined by blood.' We learn that the maternal figure of the Walter family was adopted.
However, what remains to be seen is which of the Walter boys are legally adopted.

Possible Age List of the Walter Boys
Although the Netflix series doesn't reveal the ages of each Walter kid, in Episode 6, titled Baggage, Hayley reveals her age along with her fiancée, Will's, ages, "Will, we're 25. I wanna be 25. I wanna go on a road trip. I'm not ready to skip this part."
Cole and Danny do belong in the same grade, and Alex and Nathan are the next younger brothers that came after them, while Lee and Isaac are their cousins.
Ali Novak had a different set of ages for the Walter boys, though:
Will was supposed to be 21 and was finishing up his final semester in community college. Cole was 17 and defined as a senior in high school alongside Danny.
Their cousin Isaac is 16, the same age as Alex Walter as both are junior high schoolers, with Lee following right after for being 15 years old in his sophomore year. Nathan is fourteen and a freshman in high school.
Meanwhile, Jordan was 12 in the seventh grade, Parker was 9 years old, and the youngest was Benny for being a 5-year-old.
