Nope.
Jean's entire mind/memories up to the day she left for the Orchis mission would have been downloaded and backed-up by Xavier via Cerebro.
When she died and went through the RP her body would have been aged up to the point of peak physicality (in her mid-late twenties...?) then Xavier would download her psyche with all her memories into her new body. She would remember everything up to the very last download/save Xavier enacted before they left for the mission (inclusive of her experiences with the PF of Claremont's run right up to her rejecting it.)
The point being...this Wolverine is probably in his late-30's/early-40's and this Jean is probably in her late 20's....for a 10-15 years age difference.
And yes...they can choose to have their memories edited during the RP process.
Of course, they would not have any recollection of what occurred on the mission and its outcome just prior to and after they died on Orchis.

He is in his 130s actually, still a young adult for immortal standars . As for age, if we get that strict, Mystique is the only age-appropiate love interest for him and frankly....no, Aaron pretty much destroyed that idea, especially after "Goes To Hell" and "Back in Japan". As for ethics, as long as the woman in question is in her mid-twenties at the least, i don't see a reason to complain.

Persona
Thanks to the nature of telepathy, forcing her to share the lives and experiences of everyone around her, at times, and having actually absorbed the experiences of lives not her own (such as those of the Phoenix-pretending-to-be-Jean, or Redd, in the future), I think of Jean as a bit of an 'old soul,' with experience and maturity beyond her chronological years.
Thanks to his own memory chock full of holes and wasted years when he sat in the woods and drank, I don't think of Wolverine as Obi-wan, the hoary old mentor with a head full of wisdom. If there's a 'power imbalance' in their relationship, it sure as hell doesn't tilt in his favor because he's old. He's a firecracker. She's an atom bomb. This will always be true.
Finally, I don't really give a crap about age, as long as they are both adults.
Jean and Scott also lived about 15 years in the future raising Cable. SO add that experience to their pushing 30 minds and they are more like 50 year olds. Not to mention Jean also has the memories of Madeline Pryor who was probably mentally 10 years old [yikes] when she met scott.
Interesting...
Jean, Scott, and Storm come across as people in their early to mid 30s to me.
Wolverine don’t look a day younger than 40.
lol yeah I think Maddy is like the one case where "age is just a number" is acceptable and applicable. physically designed in essentially a test tube and then implanted w/ 20+ years of memories... what "age" means to us is something completely different to her
on this subject, does Maddy even age? Will she Ever pull out a stray grey hair ? I guess w/ limbo magic anything is possible
edit: lol fully thought this was the Maddy appresh thread

I totally agree, but members of the cult of the mutants as Hickman has written them are as loyal to this version of mutants as Trump supporters are to Trump. Many of them make it clear they'd support mutants if they decided to launch an all out genocide against the rest of humanity, because of how they have suffered.
Now that they are all fabulously wealthy and spend their time slumming in the human world complaining about its shortcomings, it's like rooting for Zuckerman or Bezos. Hickman has turned all the mutants into decidedly unlikeable characters. I really have no interest in the whole business angle, and the focus on sex is boring. Comic book writers seem to have a very unrealistic view of sex in general as if they are individuals who rarely ever have sex and never have had hot, good sex which makes all the scenes about it cringeworthy. It's like I'm reading a pre-pubescent boy's idea of what sex is like.
Don't worry, Hickman and the writers realise that Krakoa aren't the "heroes" of this story. He's doing the same thing like he did with the Avengers with the Illuminati and Cabal. This is just the set up part, Hickman hasn't been shy about foreshadowing this is all going to end in tears. Or perhaps next X-men villains who are Bizarro X-men/Brotherhood.
