Well certainly not my age.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Naveen's life was further complicated recently, when he had to deny claims that a mature student is pregnant with his baby. Elena Eustache, 30, claims she is six months pregnant after having a year-long affair with the actor.
Elena claims that the star ran back to Barbara when Elena said she was expecting. "When I told Naveen in February that I was going to have his child, he freaked out," claims New York based Elena. "I haven't heard from him since and I'm heartbroken."
Naveen has branded her claims of an affair "ridiculous"
Fie on him for denying it in the first place.

I don't understand why they use the "mature student" phrase here - is there context missing?

I guess she's still in school, but that's all the mention of her that was in the piece. Seems random.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Maybe it's someone's idea of a dig? "Yes, she's still at University, at her old and decrepit age."
(I was an Older Than Average Student at my last Uni. I graduated when I was 28. Practically in my grave, I tell you.)
Maybe it was just the writer or editor with a misplaced sense of "We have to explain her age!" When really? No.
It's odd.

It's a standard term for someone doing a bachelors at her age, isn't it? I just don't understand why the student thing was worth mentioning.

It's not phrasing I would use (not that that means it isn't standard), but, yeah, why mention it at all? At any rate, not just me who thought it was odd, so I feel better now.

I haven't heard it, but it could ahve come into vogue after I left, or you know, in places outside of western Minnesota....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, rather than saying he knocked up a "co-ed" or whatever, which would sound sketch-o-rama. I mean, sketchier.
