On a chilly Valentine’s Day in New York City, the bustling streets outside St. George’s Episcopal Church in Manhattan gave little hint of the star-studded celebration unfolding within. But for Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson, February 14, 2026, marked the start of a new chapter—one blending love, music, and a touch of Hollywood glitz.
The ceremony, held at the historic church on Stuyvesant Square, drew a constellation of celebrities and close friends. According to People and Billboard, Hawke, 27, known for her breakout role in Stranger Things, was radiant in a sleeveless white gown with a boat neckline and a simple, flat bow at the drop-waist. She completed her look with a feathery winter coat and a cropped jacket, exuding effortless elegance. Hutson, 35, a folk and Americana singer-songwriter, opted for a classic black-and-white tuxedo—timeless and understated.
Among the guests were Hawke’s famous parents, Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, whose amicable presence underscored the family’s support. Ethan, dressed in a classic black suit and holding a bouquet of white flowers, walked his daughter down the aisle—a moment that captured the attention of fans and photographers alike. Uma Thurman, in a light blue floral outfit, looked on with pride as family and friends gathered for the heartfelt occasion.
The guest list read like a who’s who of young Hollywood and Netflix royalty. Hawke’s Stranger Things co-stars—including Finn Wolfhard, Sadie Sink, Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo, Joe Keery, Natalia Dyer, and Charlie Heaton—were all in attendance, as were the Duffer brothers, creators of the hit series. Iris Apatow and her boyfriend Sam Nivola, along with actors Sam Nivola and Kathryn Newton, added to the star power, while the presence of extended family and close friends made the affair feel both glamorous and intimate.
After exchanging vows, the newlyweds and their guests made their way to The Players Members Club in Manhattan’s Gramercy Park, where the celebration continued well into the evening. The private club, steeped in New York history, provided a fitting backdrop for a night filled with laughter, music, and heartfelt toasts. According to Page Six, the reception was lively, lasting several hours and giving the couple a chance to connect with loved ones from both their personal and professional circles.
Hawke and Hutson’s romance has been a subject of interest since 2023, when they were first spotted together in New York City. Their relationship, however, was built on years of friendship and creative collaboration. The pair made their official red carpet debut in April 2025 at the Broadway opening of John Proctor Is the Villain, a production starring Hawke’s Stranger Things co-star Sadie Sink. That public appearance marked a turning point, confirming what fans had long suspected: the two artists were more than just collaborators.
Music has been a cornerstone of their partnership. Hutson, who has released three studio albums—Beginners (2020), Quitters (2022), and Paradise Pop. 10 (2024)—has frequently worked alongside Hawke. He co-produced her critically acclaimed albums Moss (2022) and Chaos Angel (2024), while Hawke lent her vocals to tracks on Hutson’s own records. Their creative synergy was evident both on stage and in the studio, with Hutson once saying in a 2025 interview, “Yeah,” when asked if Maya was his fiancée during the making of his album.
Hawke has spoken candidly about the joys of dating a longtime friend. During a June 2024 interview on The Zach Sang Show, she said, “It’s awesome. 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. It’s the best to feel seen in that way [and] to feel like someone you’re falling in love with can help you work on a song.”
The couple’s musical journey has been well-documented on social media, too. In February 2024, Hutson posted a Valentine’s Day photo of himself and Hawke cuddled on the couch, captioned: “The first song from Maya’s new record, Chaos Angel, is out now. I love this song. I love this record. Can’t wait to share the rest of it.” Hawke returned the favor months later, writing, “I am lucky enough to know this guy. He is a poet, [and a] musical genius, who is announcing his third and best album ever Paradise Pop. 10. I was lucky enough to get to write with him on some of this incredible music.”
While their engagement was never publicly announced, the depth of their connection was clear to those who knew them. According to Variety, Hawke credited Hutson for helping her transition from “being a poet in a band to sort of being a musician.” She added, “Christian has been so encouraging to me as a musician, helping me to make the transition from a being a poet in a band to sort of being a musician. That’s how I knew that Christian would wind up as the album’s co-producer.”
Hutson, for his part, has built a reputation as a thoughtful and introspective songwriter. Raised in Los Angeles after being born in Kansas City, Missouri, he’s known for his folk, Americana, and country influences. His collaborations with Phoebe Bridgers and tours with her between 2022 and 2023 further cemented his standing in the indie music world. Meanwhile, Hawke—raised in New York City, educated at Saint Ann’s School and Juilliard—has carved her own path in acting and music, determined to step out from the considerable shadows cast by her parents’ Hollywood legacies.
Despite their high-profile backgrounds, the couple has largely kept their relationship private, making only a handful of public appearances together. Their wedding, though attended by celebrities, felt like a celebration of genuine connection and mutual respect. As Hawke once reflected to Hong Kong Vogue, she’s learned to embrace her own nervousness and individuality, both in her acting and in her personal life.
With their nuptials, Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson have seamlessly blended their creative and personal lives, surrounded by a supportive community of family and friends. Their love story—rooted in friendship, artistic collaboration, and a shared appreciation for authenticity—offers a refreshing narrative amid the usual Hollywood spectacle. As the newlyweds embark on this next chapter, their journey serves as a reminder that sometimes, the best partnerships are built on years of knowing, creating, and truly seeing one another.
