Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson Tie the Knot in Surprise Valentine’s Day Wedding
Hollywood is abuzz with the delightful news of Maya Hawke and her partner, singer Christian Lee Hutson, officially becoming husband and wife. The couple exchanged vows in a surprise Valentine’s Day ceremony, celebrating their union with close friends and family amidst a picturesque, wintry backdrop in New York City.
Maya, 27, looked radiant on her special day, opting for a chic sleeveless white wedding dress. The gown featured a stylish high-low hemline, perfectly complemented by a feathery winter jacket to ward off the New York chill. Her hair was elegantly styled in a classic Hollywood updo, adding a touch of timeless glamour to her bridal look. Christian Lee Hutson, 35, looked dapper in a traditional black tuxedo paired with a crisp white shirt. The bride’s father, acclaimed actor Ethan Hawke, mirrored the groom’s sartorial choice, also sporting a black tuxedo with a black shirt.
The bridal party was a star-studded affair, with Maya’s mother, the iconic Uma Thurman, gracing the occasion in a stunning, light blue gown adorned with floral detailing. Also present to witness the matrimonial bliss was Maya’s brother, Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke. Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, who were famously married from 1998 to 2005, share both Maya and Levon.
Ethan Hawke has since remarried, tying the knot with Ryan Shawhughes Hawke, and together they have two daughters, Clementine Jean Hawke and Indiana Hawke. Uma Thurman also has a daughter, Luna, from her previous relationship with ex-fiancé Arpad Busson.
The guest list for this intimate celebration was a reunion of sorts for the Stranger Things family. Several of Maya’s co-stars from the hit Netflix series were in attendance, including Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, and Joe Keery. The former castmates were captured looking exceptionally stylish as they crossed the street, all dressed in their finest attire, a testament to their enduring friendships.
Maya and Christian Lee Hutson’s relationship blossomed from a shared passion for music. Hutson was a featured artist on Maya’s 2024 album, Chaos Angel. Their creative collaboration extended to his album, Paradise Pop. 10, where Maya contributed as a songwriter.
Maya has openly expressed her admiration for her partner, previously taking to Instagram to share heartfelt posts. In one such post, she described Hutson as a “poet musical genius” and expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate with him. She also shared her positive experiences with dating within her friend circle on the Zach Sang Show. “It’s awesome. I cannot recommend highly enough dating your friends. It’s the best,” she stated, highlighting the profound understanding and genuine connection that comes from such relationships. She elaborated that friends who become partners truly see you as a person with feelings, rather than just an idealized image.
The couple’s engagement was subtly confirmed last year during an interview with SoCal Sound Session. When the host mentioned Hutson’s work on his song Carousel Horses with Phoebe Bridgers and his “fiancée” Maya, the musician simply responded with a confirming “Yeah.” Further speculation about their impending nuptials arose when Maya was photographed in Manhattan wearing a diamond ring on her wedding finger in April 2025.
Their first public appearance as a couple on the red carpet was in the same month, at the opening night of the play John Proctor Is the Villain, which notably stars Sadie Sink. The union of Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson marks a beautiful new chapter for the talented pair, celebrated by their loved ones and the entertainment world alike.
