On a crisp Valentine’s Day in New York City, love, music, and Hollywood legacy converged as Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson exchanged vows in a ceremony that was as star-studded as it was heartfelt. The wedding, held on February 14, 2026, at St. George’s Episcopal Church in Manhattan, drew not only family and close friends but also a constellation of celebrities, notably the cast of Stranger Things, in a reunion that delighted fans and guests alike.
Maya Hawke, 27, best known for her role as Robin Buckley on the Netflix juggernaut Stranger Things, and Christian Lee Hutson, 35, a respected singer-songwriter and frequent collaborator with Phoebe Bridgers, have been linked since 2023. Their union marked the culmination of a friendship that blossomed into romance after four years of close collaboration, particularly during the making of Maya’s 2024 album Chaos Angel. According to People, the ceremony reflected both their artistic sensibilities and the warmth of their relationship.
The bride stunned in a white ball gown with a lace veil, complemented by a dramatic feathery winter coat that turned heads as she made her way into the church. Hutson, for his part, opted for a classic black tuxedo, complete with a white shirt, vest, and a floral boutonniere, presenting a timeless counterpart to Maya’s modern elegance. The couple’s chemistry was evident as they shared a joyful kiss following the ceremony, cheered on by an enthusiastic crowd of loved ones.
Family played a central role in the day’s proceedings. Maya’s parents, Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, both 55, were prominent figures throughout the event. Thurman, celebrated for her iconic performances in Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, wore a light blue floral ensemble with matching shoes, exuding grace and pride as she supported her daughter. Ethan Hawke, the acclaimed star of The Black Phone and Before Sunrise, donned a sleek all-black suit and was photographed walking Maya down the aisle, clutching a bouquet of white flowers. The former couple, who were married from 1998 to 2005, put aside any differences to celebrate their daughter’s milestone, joined by their son Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke, 24, who also attended the festivities.
Other family members present included Ethan’s children Clementine, 17, and Indiana, 14, from his marriage to Ryan Shawhughes Hawke, and Uma’s daughter Luna, 13, from her relationship with Arpad Busson. The gathering underscored the blended and supportive nature of Maya’s extended family, a testament to the enduring bonds that can persist through Hollywood’s often tumultuous relationship histories.
But it was the guest list that truly set tongues wagging. The event became an unofficial Stranger Things reunion, as castmates Finn Wolfhard, Joe Keery, Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo, Sadie Sink, and Natalia Dyer were all spotted among the congregation, according to TV Insider and People. Even one of the Duffer brothers, the creative minds behind the series, made an appearance. Friends from beyond the Stranger Things universe, such as Kathryn Newton, Sam Nivola, and Iris Apatow, rounded out the glittering assembly, highlighting Maya’s wide-reaching connections in the entertainment world.
The ceremony itself was intimate yet lively, with attendees later making the short walk to The Players Members Club for a reception that reportedly lasted for hours. The newlyweds and their guests celebrated with music, laughter, and heartfelt speeches, marking the start of a new chapter for Maya and Christian.
The couple’s journey to the altar was as collaborative as it was romantic. Hutson, who has released three critically acclaimed albums co-produced by Phoebe Bridgers, has been a key influence on Maya’s musical evolution. The pair worked together on her second studio album Moss and the 2024 release Chaos Angel. Maya also contributed vocals to Hutson’s album Paradise Pop. 10 and joined him on his 2025 tour. Their creative synergy has been a hallmark of their relationship, with Maya telling Variety in June 2024, “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.”
Public confirmation of their relationship came in April 2025, when they attended the opening night of the Broadway show John Proctor is the Villain together. Earlier, Hutson had subtly confirmed their engagement during a SoCal Sound Session interview, responding with a simple “Yeah” when referred to as Maya’s fiancé. Just weeks before the wedding, Maya was photographed in Manhattan sporting a diamond ring on her wedding finger, fueling speculation that was soon confirmed by the Valentine’s Day nuptials.
Maya has been candid about the foundation of their romance. Appearing on the Zach Sang Show in June 2024, she shared, “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, who has dated them, who has feelings and is a living, breathing human, not just a piece of paper for them to project their image of a perfect girlfriend onto.” Her perspective resonated with many, offering a refreshing take on modern relationships, especially in the glare of celebrity culture.
As the festivities drew to a close, it was clear that the day was about more than just celebrity sightings or glamorous outfits. It was a celebration of enduring friendships, creative partnerships, and the coming together of families old and new. Maya’s father, Ethan Hawke, summed up the pride and emotion of the moment when he told 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.”
Looking ahead, Maya Hawke’s star continues to rise. With the final season of Stranger Things wrapped and a role in the upcoming Hunger Games prequel Sunrise on the Reaping slated for later in 2026, her career is poised for even greater heights. Yet, for one magical Valentine’s Day, the spotlight belonged to her and Christian, as they began their married life surrounded by those who love and inspire them most.
