Maya Hawke Marries Christian Lee Hutson in Star-Studded Valentine’s Day Wedding

Maya Hawke Promoting Stranger Things 5 on Youtube


Maya Hawke celebrated a major personal milestone this past weekend in New York City. The Stranger Things star married musician Christian Lee Hutson in a ceremony held on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2026. The event brought together a notable guest list, including her famous parents and many of her Netflix castmates.

A Star-Studded NYC Ceremony

The wedding took place at St. George’s Episcopal Church in Manhattan. Hawke arrived wearing a sleeveless white gown featuring a boat neckline and a drop-waist bow. To handle the chilly February weather, she paired the dress with an oversized, feathery winter coat. Hutson kept his look classic in a traditional black-and-white tuxedo.

The couple was surrounded by family as they exchanged vows. Her father, Ethan Hawke, walked her down the aisle, while her mother, Uma Thurman, watched from the pews. The reunion of the former couple for their daughter's big day was a highlight for many in attendance. Maya's brother, Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke, was also part of the family celebration.

The Stranger Things Reunion

Fans of Stranger Things would have recognized several faces in the crowd. The guest list included Finn Wolfhard, Sadie Sink, Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo, Joe Keery, Natalia Dyer, and Charlie Heaton. The series creators, the Duffer brothers, also attended the ceremony to support the actress who has played Robin Buckley since the show's third season.

After the church service, the group moved to The Players Members Club in Gramercy Park. The private club hosted the reception, which reportedly lasted late into the evening. Guests enjoyed a night of music and toasts in the historic venue.

From Creative Partners to Newlyweds

Hawke and Hutson have a history that goes back several years. They began as friends and creative collaborators before their relationship turned romantic. Hutson, an indie folk artist, helped produce Hawke's 2024 album Chaos Angel. In past interviews, Hawke has credited Hutson with helping her grow as a musician and transition from writing poetry to composing full songs.

The couple had kept their engagement relatively quiet, though Hutson confirmed the news during a media session in 2025. Their public debut as a couple occurred in April 2025 at a Broadway opening, but they have largely preferred to keep their private lives out of the spotlight until this weekend's celebration.

Upcoming Projects for Maya Hawke

The wedding comes at a busy time for the 27-year-old actress. With Stranger Things finally wrapping its fifth and final season, Hawke is preparing for several major film releases. She is set to appear in the Hunger Games prequel, Sunrise on the Reaping, where she plays the character Wiress. Additionally, she has roles in the upcoming romantic comedies Wishful Thinking and One Night Only, both scheduled for release later in 2026.

A New Chapter

The Valentine’s Day nuptials mark a fresh start for the couple as they balance their personal lives with high-profile careers. By choosing a winter wedding in the heart of New York City, Hawke stayed true to her roots while celebrating with the community that has supported her rise in the entertainment industry.
