His candid admission highlighted the powerful bond between father and daughter.
The intimate ceremony drew a small but notable crowd, including Maya’s mother, renowned actress Uma Thurman, and her younger brother Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke. Several of Maya’s co-stars from “Stranger Things” were also in attendance, sharing in the joyful occasion.

On the day of the ceremony, Ethan donned a dark suit, complementing the elegant attire chosen by the bride and groom. Maya wore a stunning wedding dress designed by Prada, characterised by a boat neckline and a voluminous skirt. In contrast, Hutson opted for a classic tuxedo, completing the chic and sophisticated aesthetics of the event.
In a subsequent interview with PEOPLE, Maya expressed her delight with married life, proclaiming that it has been “absolutely fantastic.” Reflecting on her happiness, she shared, “I’m a very, very lucky person who’s very happy right now.
