Most of the sources say he was 25 years old. However, they were counting in lunar years, so by our reckoning, he was probably only 24.
Mohammed's family were all pagans. As a young man, Mohammed sacrificed a white ewe to the goddess Al-Uzza, who was the patron-goddess of Mecca. (See Al-Kalbi, The Book of Idols, pp. 16-17; also Bukhari 7:67:407.) Khadija kept an idol of Al-Uzza in her house, and the whole family used to worship her just before bedtime. (See Ibn Hanbal's Musnad, volume 4, p. 222.)
In 605 there was a bad flood that severely damaged the Kaaba (the temple that housed the 360 gods of Mecca). All the citizens cooperated to rebuilt it, with Mohammed playing an active part. (See Guillaume's translation of Ibn Ishaq's Sirat, pp. 84-86.) This suggests he still believed in the 360 gods at this date and that it was only after 605 that his views shifted.
So Mohammed and Khadija had been married for at least ten years when they admitted to each other that they did not believe in Al-Uzza any more. (Ibn Hanbal, Musnad, volume 4, p. 222.)
N.B. You will often read on the internet that Khadija was a Nestorian, a Sabian, an Ebionite, a Catholic nun or the High Priestess of some occult sect. People who believe this should cite sources. Often they are only guessing.
______________________________________________________________
- Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) never bowed or worshiped any Idol. Khadija was also the same and didn't worship any idol. She was tending to the faith of her Christian cousin Waraqa Ibn Nofal. However, her cousin was not thinking of Jesus as God or son of God.
- Prophet Muhammad was 25 years old when he married Khadija (she was 40 years old).

∙ 12y agoKhadijah (May Allah bless her) got married with the prophet at age 40 and continued in marriage for 25 year when she passed away. It means she died before prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and she died at age 65.
