'Stranger Things' Maya Hawke Marries Christian Lee Hutson—Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman Witness Daughter's Wedding in NYC

On a day built for romance, Maya Hawke quietly turned Valentine's Day into a defining family memory—one watched closely by fans who have grown up with her on 'Stranger Things'. While celebrity weddings often feel distant, this one landed with a surprisingly relatable appeal: proud parents, close friends, and a room full of people who genuinely showed up.

Maya Hawke married Christian Lee Hutson on Valentine's Day, with the couple tying the knot on 14 February 2026 in New York City. The wedding was described as a star-studded event, but the emotional headline is simpler: two artists, already intertwined through work, chose to make it official. Since 2023, photographs of Hawke, 27, and Hutson, 35, sharing a kiss in New York City have linked them romantically.

New York City Wedding

The ceremony took place at St George's Episcopal Church in Manhattan, a classic setting that frames the day around vows and tradition rather than spectacle. Afterwards, the newlyweds and their guests reportedly made a short journey to the reception at The Players Members Club, where celebrations continued for hours. That shift—from church pews to a members' club—captured the arc of the day, moving from intimate to joyous without losing its grounded feel.

Ethan Hawke Walks Maya Down the Aisle

Some weddings have one moment everyone talks about, and here it was family-led. Ethan Hawke walked Maya down the aisle, photographed in a black suit, walking alongside his daughter while holding a bouquet of white flowers. Uma Thurman also attended, photographed in a light blue floral ensemble.

Maya is the eldest child of Thurman and Ethan, who were married from 1998 to 2005. The exes also share a son, Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke, 24, who was also at the wedding. Ethan has two other children, Clementine, 17, and Indiana, 14, with wife Ryan Shawhughes Hawke, while Thurman shares daughter Luna, 13, with ex-fiancé Arpad Busson.

'Stranger Things' Cast Makes It a Reunion

For fans, the guest list added a second jolt of excitement: a 'Stranger Things' reunion in real life. Finn Wolfhard, Joe Keery, Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo, Sadie Sink, and Natalie Dyer attended the nuptials, with Sam Nivola and Kathryn Newton also in attendance.

Seeing that many familiar faces turn up suggests Hawke's bonds extend beyond set life, and that kind of loyalty is what audiences respond to most.

Musical Collaborators Blend Love and Work

Beyond the ceremony details, the relationship has its creative through-line. The couple frequently teams up on music projects, collaborating on Hawke's second studio album, 'Moss', and on her most recent album, 'Chaos Angel', released in 2024.

Hawke can also be heard singing on Hutson's most recent album, 'Paradise Pop. 10', and she joined him for some gigs on his 2025 tour. In other words, their connection is not just a romance running alongside their careers—it has been woven into what they make.

As Hawke put it in her own words, '[Hutson] has been so encouraging to me as a musician, helping me to make the transition from being a poet in a band to sort of being a musician'.

She has also spoken about why dating a friend worked for her. 'It's the best', she shared while appearing on 'The Zach Sang Show' in June 2024. 'They know you, they understand that you are a person and a human being who has dated other people ... not just a piece of paper for them to project their image of a perfect girlfriend onto', she added.
