Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson Celebrate Valentine's Day Wedding in New York
Stranger Things star Maya Hawke and her musician boyfriend Christian Lee Hutson have officially tied the knot in a glamorous Valentine's Day ceremony that drew a constellation of Hollywood stars to New York City. The bride, aged 27, and groom, 35, were photographed leaving St. George's Episcopal Church after exchanging vows, making their way to The Players Members Club for an exclusive reception.
A-List Guest List and Bridal Party
The wedding was a family affair, with Maya's famous parents, actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, in attendance. Thurman was seen helping her daughter prepare before the ceremony, while a proud Ethan carried Maya's bouquet as he walked her down the aisle. The bridal party included nearly the entire main cast of Stranger Things, with Natalia Dyer, Joe Keery, Sadie Sink, Finn Wolfhard, Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo, and Charlie Heaton all present to celebrate their co-star.
Notably absent was actor David Harbour, who was reportedly on a Valentine's date in New York instead. Harbour has recently faced allegations of bullying co-star Millie Bobby Brown, though these claims did not involve sexual impropriety and were subject to an internal investigation.
Wedding Attire and Ceremony Details
Maya stunned in an elaborate white wedding gown, complete with a mesh veil and a fur-trimmed jacket, while Christian looked dapper in a classic tuxedo with a floral boutonniere. The bridesmaids wore mismatched dresses in cream and pink shades, adorned with floral crowns made of baby's breath and carrying delicate bouquets.
Uma Thurman, the mother of the bride, wowed in a floral blue dress with matching heels and an elegant updo. Photos captured emotional moments, including Ethan Hawke escorting his daughter into the chapel and the newlyweds sharing a loving kiss outside the church.
From Friendship to Romance
Maya and Christian's relationship blossomed from a long-standing friendship. They were first romantically linked in 2023 after being seen kissing in New York City. The pair have collaborated extensively on music, with Christian producing Maya's albums Moss and Chaos Angel, and Maya featuring on his album Paradise Pop. 10.
In a 2024 interview, Maya described their relationship as "the best," highlighting how their prior friendship allowed for a deeper understanding. Christian has been a supportive partner, encouraging her transition from acting to music and publicly praising her work on social media.
Previous Relationships and Family Background
Before dating Christian, Maya was in relationships with singer Spencer Barnett and actor Tom Sturridge. Her parents, Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, were married from 1998 to 2005 and share two children, Maya and son Levon. Their divorce was surrounded by rumors of Ethan's affair with model Jen Perzow; he later married their former nanny, Ryan Shawhughes.
The wedding marks a new chapter for Maya, who recently wrapped filming on the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, where she joined the main cast in season three. The series concluded on New Year's Eve, allowing her to focus on her marriage and ongoing music career with Christian.
