Actress and singer-songwriter Maya Hawke has revealed that she is enjoying the joys of married life following her recent wedding to musician Christian Lee Hutson. The couple tied the knot on Valentine’s Day, February 14, in an intimate ceremony held in New York City.
During an interview with PEOPLE at the premiere of her new romantic comedy, “Wishful Thinking,” at the SXSW Conference and Festivals, Hawke, 27, shared her excitement about her new chapter as a wife. “It’s absolutely fantastic. I’m a very, very lucky person who’s very happy right now,” she expressed, adding, “I couldn’t be more grateful.”
Hawke and Hutson, 35, both of whom have long been connected through their music, surprised fans with the announcement of their wedding, which included a star-studded guest list. The ceremony was attended by a notable array of friends and family, among them Maya’s famous parents, Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, as well as her younger brother, Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke.
Fellow stars from the Netflix hit “Stranger Things,” including Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, and Joe Keery, were also present to celebrate the happy occasion. The couple made a stylish statement, with Maya showcasing a stunning wedding gown designed by Prada, featuring a boat neckline and a voluminous skirt, while Hutson complemented her in a classic tuxedo.
Hawke and Hutson’s relationship has gradually evolved over the years. The pair originally met while collaborating on music, and they have worked together on several albums. Their romantic connection was first confirmed when they were spotted sharing a kiss in New York City in December 2023, which sent fans into a frenzy.
In the months following their initial public discovery as a couple, they made their official red carpet debut at the theatre opening of “John Proctor Is the Villain,” starring Sadie Sink, on April 14, 2025. Shortly after, engagement speculation sparked when Hawke was seen wearing a diamond ring on her wedding finger while strolling through Manhattan.
The newlyweds made headlines again when they attended the Tibet House U.S. Benefit Concert in early March 2026. This marked their first public appearance since their wedding, and they took to the stage as part of the musical lineup. Photographers captured the couple sharing affectionate moments backstage, illustrating their evident chemistry.
Reflecting on their relationship, Maya expressed in a previous interview that dating a friend can be an incredibly enriching experience. In June 2024, she mentioned on the Zach Sang Show, “It’s awesome. I cannot recommend highly enough dating your friends. They know you, and as someone who has dated other people, they really know you as a person who has feelings.”
Hawke’s heartfelt remarks and engagement with Hutson showcase the depth of their bond, further delighting fans who have followed their journey together since they first made headlines. As they navigate their marriage and careers, both Maya and Christian appear poised for continued success in their respective fields.
In a world that often celebrates celebrity relationships, the love story between Hawke and Hutson reflects the importance of genuine connections rooted in friendship and shared passions. Their union not only marks a significant moment in their personal lives but also serves as an inspiration to others who aspire to find love built on understanding and mutual appreciation.
As they embark on this new journey, fans can expect to see more of this talented duo, both in their personal lives and collaborative projects moving forward.
