It was a Valentine’s Day to remember in New York City as Maya Hawke, the 27-year-old actress best known for her role as Robin Buckley in Stranger Things, married musician Christian Lee Hutson, 35, in a heartfelt ceremony surrounded by family, friends, and a who’s who of Hollywood. The wedding, held on February 14, 2026, at the historic St. George’s Episcopal Church in Manhattan, brought together not only the couple’s loved ones but also a reunion of Stranger Things castmates and a gathering of some of the industry’s most familiar faces.
As reported by People, Variety, and TV Insider, Maya’s parents—Hollywood icons Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, both 55—were front and center for their daughter’s big day. Uma, known for her unforgettable performances in Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, radiated elegance in a baby blue, floor-length floral dress paired with matching shoes, while Ethan, of Training Day and Before Sunrise fame, looked dapper in a classic all-black suit. The proud father was seen walking Maya down the aisle, bouquet in hand, a moment captured by photographers and cherished by onlookers alike.
The ceremony itself was intimate but star-studded. Maya’s younger brother, Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke, 24, joined the family, as did a constellation of Stranger Things alumni: Finn Wolfhard, Joe Keery, Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, and Charlie Heaton were all present, alongside one of the Duffer brothers who created the hit Netflix series. According to DeuxMoi and TV Insider, friends Kathryn Newton, Sam Nivola, and Iris Apatow rounded out the guest list, making for a celebration that was as much a reunion as a wedding.
Maya, ever the picture of modern romance, wore a voluminous white wedding gown with a ball gown silhouette, topped with a lace veil and an oversized, feathery winter coat—a look that struck a balance between classic bridal elegance and whimsical flair. Hutson, meanwhile, opted for a timeless black tuxedo with a white shirt, vest, and a floral boutonniere, complementing his bride’s style with understated sophistication.
After exchanging vows, the newlyweds and their guests made the short walk through Manhattan’s bustling streets to The Players Members Club for a lively reception. According to KONY / BACKGRID, the celebration stretched on for hours, filled with music, laughter, and heartfelt toasts from family and friends. The couple, who first met years ago as collaborators in music, sealed their union with a kiss as their loved ones cheered them on.
Their relationship, while now official, has roots that run deep. Maya and Christian were friends for four years before romance blossomed, a detail the actress shared candidly during a June 2024 appearance on the Zach Sang Show. “I cannot recommend highly enough dating your friends. It’s the best. 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,” Maya explained, reflecting on how their friendship laid the foundation for a lasting partnership.
Their bond has been strengthened by a shared love of music. Christian, a singer-songwriter with three albums co-produced by Phoebe Bridgers, collaborated with Maya on her second studio album, Moss, and her most recent release, Chaos Angel (2024). Maya, in turn, lent her voice to Hutson’s album Paradise Pop. 10 and even joined him on stage during his 2025 tour. “Christian 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,” Maya told Variety in June 2024, crediting him as both a creative partner and a personal supporter.
The couple’s engagement was confirmed in early 2025, when Hutson responded with a simple, “Yeah,” after being referred to as Maya’s fiancé during a SoCal Sound Session interview. Just weeks later, Maya was spotted in Manhattan wearing a diamond ring, signaling to fans that wedding bells were on the horizon. By April 2025, they made their relationship public at the opening night of the Broadway show John Proctor is the Villain, arm-in-arm and unmistakably happy.
The wedding was not just a personal milestone for the couple but also a moment of family unity. Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, who were married from 1998 to 2005, put aside any differences to celebrate their daughter’s happiness. Both have since expanded their families: Ethan shares two younger children, Clementine (17) and Indiana (14), with his wife Ryan Shawhughes Hawke, while Uma has a daughter, Luna (13), with ex-fiancé Arpad Busson. The gathering of these blended families underscored the spirit of togetherness that defined the day.
Beyond the wedding, 2026 is shaping up to be a banner year for Maya Hawke. Her father, Ethan, recently praised the final season of Stranger Things, telling Access Hollywood, “I am so proud of her. I am so proud of that whole group of people that made that show. They took care of every character, obviously Robin is my favorite.” Maya is also set to appear in the much-anticipated Hunger Games prequel, Sunrise on the Reaping, further cementing her status as one of Hollywood’s rising stars.
As the festivities wound down and guests spilled out into the chilly New York night, it was clear that Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson had not only thrown a wedding for the ages but also started a new chapter built on friendship, artistry, and genuine affection. With family and friends by their side, and a future as bright as their shared spotlight, the newlyweds left their mark on a city—and an industry—where love stories are rarely this real.
