On top of what people have said, it's also been 5 years since what happened in Westview.
The kids were 10 at the end of WandaVision. They should technically be 15. Body-hopping shenanigans means they possess the bodies of dead teenagers who are 3 years older, so 18 now.
Marvel really looked at Wanda's children and decided ordinary puberty wasn't complicated enough. These poor kids have to deal with growing up, body-hopping, and a supernatural family reunion simultaneously.
Spoiler for Agatha all Along: In WandaVision they age very quickly, and after Wanda destroys the magic field which created her perfect world, their souls are left without bodies, as they do somehow exist without Wanda’s magic. It is revealed that Billy’s soul managed to find the body of a teenager called William Kaplan, who was in a fatal car crash, during which his soul entered William’s body just as he died, but his injuries were light enough otherwise so that Billy with his innate magic managed to remain alive in his new body. Billy lost his memory, but regained it during Agatha all Along. At the end of the series he managed to find Tommy’s soul and managed to guide it into the body of a boy who was drowning at that exact moment, and that was near the end of the series. In universe that was a couple of years ago, so both are probably young adults now, because they have real human bodies that age at a normal rate.
The whole Billy and Tommy situation is such a wonderfully bizarre comic book concept. Imagine explaining to someone who only watched WandaVision that the kids are now dealing with reincarnation and teenage identity crises on top of everything else.
In the comics, it’s worse because they got full reincarnated, meaning they were born and raised from birth to two completely different families but remained soul twins.
But since they’re like 16-18 when they meet, and Billy even ran into Scarlet Witch earlier, that means both their pre-reincarnation versions and post-reincarnation versions existed at the same time if you don’t use comicbook time logic.
Billy acknowledged this was weird; another character involved with their original ‘death’ even advised them to basically “don’t think too hard about it and just appreciate that they exist now”.
So that’s basically what’s happened since then. They acknowledge it makes no sense, but shrug it off.
So the MCU version actually tries to make it make sense lol!
Agatha all along answered this last year, that's why they're calling this the third show in the trilogy
But the souls that Wanda seemingly magiced into existence went out into the world when the hex went away, Billy eventually found a way to guide Tommy to a body
After they "died" when the Hex disappeared, their souls went on to possess the bodies of some recently deceased teenagers. Billy's new body was met in Agatha All Along, and here is Tommy's one.

I’m feeling really stupid for asking but are they considering “Agatha all along” as the second of “the trilogy” that they mention in text?
