When Maya Hawke decided to get married, she didn’t announce it to the world. She surprised her closest friends and family with a Valentine’s Day wedding that brought together Hollywood dynasties and the Stranger Things universe.
The 27-year-old actress and 35-year-old singer-songwriter Christian Lee Hutson exchanged vows on Saturday, Feb. 14, in New York City. The guest list told the story of Maya’s life: her famous parents, her TV family, and the creative community she’s built through music.
Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman — divorced since 2005 — both attended their daughter’s wedding. Thurman chose a light blue gown with matching shoes. Ethan wore all black. The moment marked a rare public reunion for the former couple, who married in 1998 and share Maya and her brother, Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke, who also attended.
Maya’s Stranger Things family showed up in force. Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, and Joe Keery all celebrated the occasion. The cast, who’ve worked together since many were teenagers, has remained close even as the Netflix series approaches its final season.
Maya brought her signature style to the ceremony. She wore a white wedding dress but added an oversized, feathery winter coat — a distinctly New York touch for a February wedding. Hutson kept it traditional in a tuxedo.
The couple’s love story has musical roots. Maya first met Hutson while recording music years ago. Hutson, a New York-based singer-songwriter, opened for Phoebe Bridgers on tour between 2022 and 2023. He later appeared on Maya’s 2024 album, Chaos Angel.
Their relationship became public gradually. In February 2024, Hutson shared a Valentine’s Day post featuring a photo of him and Maya sitting together on a couch. He used the caption to promote Maya’s new music: “I love this song. I love this record.”
By 2025, wedding bells were clearly on the horizon. Hutson confirmed Maya was his fiancée during a SoCal Sound Session interview. When host Julie Slater mentioned Hutson worked on a track with his “fiancée” Maya, the musician simply replied, “Yeah.”
Two months later, in April 2025, Maya was photographed in Manhattan flashing a diamond ring on her wedding finger while talking on the phone. That same month, the couple made their red carpet debut at the opening night of John Proctor Is the Villain, where Maya showed up to support Sadie Sink at New York City’s Booth Theater.
In July 2024, Maya posted candid Instagram photos of her and Hutson lying on a bed and sitting on a plane together. Her caption revealed the depth of their connection: “I am lucky enough to know this guy @christianleehutson. He is a poet musical genius.”
During a July 2024 interview on the Zach Sang Show, Maya explained why their relationship worked: “I cannot recommend highly enough dating your friends. It’s the best. They know you, and as a human being who has dated other people. They really know you as a person who has feelings … not just a piece of paper for them to project their image of perfect girlfriend onto.”
That philosophy — dating someone who truly knows you — seems to have paid off. On Valentine’s Day 2026, surrounded by family and the friends who’ve become family, Maya and Hutson made it official.
