Maya Hawke, the actress known for her role in "Stranger Things," tied the knot with singer-songwriter Christian Lee Hutson in a surprise ceremony on Valentine's Day. The wedding took place on February 14, 2026, in New York City, drawing attention for its star-studded guest list and the reunion of Hawke's famous parents. This event marks a significant milestone for the couple, who have collaborated professionally and personally for years.
The intimate gathering highlighted Hawke's Hollywood lineage and her connections within the entertainment industry. Hawke, 27, and Hutson, 35, exchanged vows amid a winter setting, with no prior public announcement of their engagement. The wedding's timing on Valentine's Day added a romantic touch, aligning with the couple's low-key yet meaningful relationship.
Ceremony Details and Location
The wedding ceremony occurred at St. George’s Episcopal Church in New York City, a historic venue that provided a classic backdrop for the nuptials. Following the vows, guests moved to Manhattan’s The Players Members Club for the reception, where celebrations extended into the evening.
Hawke walked down the aisle escorted by her father, Ethan Hawke, who carried her bouquet of white flowers. She wore a white ballgown with a lace veil and an oversized feathery white coat to suit the February chill. Hutson opted for a traditional black tuxedo with a white shirt, vest, and floral boutonniere. The bride's mother, Uma Thurman, attended in a light blue floor-length gown with matching shoes. Ethan Hawke chose an all-black suit for the occasion.
The event remained private, with representatives for both Hawke and Hutson declining to comment when reached by media outlets on February 15, 2026.
Who Attended the Wedding
The guest list featured a mix of family and industry peers, underscoring Hawke's ties to both her personal roots and professional circle. Hawke's parents, Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke—ex-spouses who were married from 1998 to 2005—reunited for the celebration, with Ethan walking his daughter down the aisle. Hawke's brother, Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke, was also present.
Several "Stranger Things" co-stars turned out to support Hawke, including Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, and Noah Schnapp. Other notable attendees included actors Sam Nivola, Kathryn Newton, and Iris Apatow.
One prominent absence was David Harbour, Hawke's "Stranger Things" co-star who plays Jim Hopper. Harbour was spotted in New York City with a mystery red-haired woman during the Valentine's Day weekend, opting out of the wedding festivities. This sighting comes after his split from singer Lily Allen earlier in 2025.
Background on Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson
Maya Hawke, daughter of acclaimed actors Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, has built a multifaceted career in acting and music. She rose to fame as Robin Buckley in Netflix's "Stranger Things" starting in season three and voiced Anxiety in Disney's "Inside Out 2." As a musician, Hawke released her debut album "Blush" in 2020, followed by "Moss" in 2022 and "Chaos Angel" in 2024.
Christian Lee Hutson is a singer-songwriter signed to Anti- Records. He has released three albums, all co-produced by Phoebe Bridgers: "Beginners" (2020), "Quitters" (2022), and "Paradise Pop. 10" (2024). Hutson toured as an opener for Bridgers from 2022 to 2023 and contributed to Hawke's music, co-producing "Moss" and "Chaos Angel." Hawke provided vocals on Hutson's "Paradise Pop. 10," including the track "Carousel Horses."
The Couple's Relationship History
Hawke and Hutson first met years ago while collaborating on music projects. Their friendship evolved into romance around 2023, when they were spotted kissing in New York City. They made their red carpet debut in April 2025 at the Broadway opening of "John Proctor Is the Villain," starring Sadie Sink. Another public appearance came at the Prada Fall/Winter 2025 show in Milan on February 27, 2025.
Hutson confirmed their engagement in a March 2025 interview with The SoCal Sound, referring to Hawke as his "fiancée" while discussing their collaboration on "Carousel Horses." Hawke has spoken positively about their bond, telling the Zach Sang Show in July 2024: "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."
In a June 2024 Variety interview, Hawke credited Hutson with her musical growth: "Christian has been so encouraging to me as a musician… That’s how I knew that Christian would wind up as the album’s co-producer." Hutson echoed the sentiment in a February 2024 Instagram post promoting Hawke's "Chaos Angel," sharing a photo of them together.
Why the Wedding Matters
This wedding stands out for several reasons. It brought together Hawke's divorced parents, Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, in a rare public reunion for a family milestone. The presence of numerous "Stranger Things" cast members highlighted the close-knit bonds formed on the hit Netflix series, which concluded its run in 2025.
As a Valentine's Day event, the wedding captured public interest amid celebrity news cycles, blending romance with Hollywood glamour. It also underscores the intersection of acting and music worlds, given the couple's collaborative history.
Harbour's absence, amid his sighting with a mystery woman, added a layer of intrigue, though no speculation on reasons has been confirmed.
What Happens Next for the Couple
Details on a honeymoon remain undisclosed, as the couple maintains privacy. Professionally, Hawke is set to appear in "The Hunger Games" prequel "Sunrise on the Reaping," slated for release later in 2026. Hutson continues promoting "Paradise Pop. 10" and may embark on additional tours, potentially including joint performances with Hawke.
The newlyweds have not shared immediate plans, but their shared creative pursuits suggest ongoing collaborations in music and beyond. This marriage begins a new chapter for Hawke and Hutson, built on friendship, artistry, and mutual support.
