Life expectancy was about the same for the nobility as it was for everyone else. The nobility did not have nutritionally better food, just more expensive and better tasting food.

At birth, a medieval person's life expectancy might have been twenty five, because there was a very high Infant Mortality Rate. Those who lived to the age of twenty five had a life expectancy of over fifty.

Of course, some lived to be quite old. Eleanor of Aquitaine lived to be nearly sixty seven, and she was not fabled for being old.

A lot of women died in childbirth, but a lot of men died in wars, so I don't know how sex effected life expectancy.
