Maya, born in 1998, and Levon, born in 2002, are from Thurman’s marriage to fellow actor Ethan Hawke, while her youngest daughter, Luna, was born in 2012 during her relationship with French hedge fund manager Arpad Busson. As they follow in their parents’ artistic footsteps, Maya and Levon have begun to make their own names in the entertainment world. Maya has gained popularity for her performance in Netflix’s “Stranger Things” and is also pursuing a music career, having released three albums with a fourth on the horizon. Levon, on the other hand, has appeared in films such as “Blink Twice” and “Marty Supreme.”
In a previous interview with PEOPLE, Thurman expressed her deep affection for her children, stating, “I’m madly in love with all of my children and very proud of them. I think they conduct themselves with a lot of dignity and respect for others. It’s all a parent could dream of.” This sentiment illustrates the strong bond she shares with her children, which is evident through their numerous public appearances together.
The family has been spotted together on various occasions, showcasing their supportive nature for one another. For example, a memorable moment occurred during a “Marriage for Equality” celebration in New York City, where Uma was seen with Maya, who sported long blonde hair in a style quite different from her mother’s usual short cut. In another instance, Levon shared a playful Instagram post in 2014, where he and Thurman mirrored each other’s poses with the amusing caption, “#footwear,” encapsulating their light-hearted family dynamics.
Thurman and her children have frequently graced red carpets and prestigious events, bringing a sense of glamour wherever they go. At the 2017 amfAR Cinema Against AIDS gala, Thurman brought her then-15-year-old son Levon, highlighting their close relationship. The following year, during the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, she was spotted blowing kisses to the cameras while walking in with Levon, showcasing the playful connection they share.
More recently, the family has enjoyed various outings together. At the Formula E Grand Prix in New York City, Thurman took both Levon and Luna for a day filled with excitement. They also attended significant events such as the men’s singles final at the 2019 US Open, where they were photographed supporting Rafael Nadal.
Maya has been seen alongside her mother at fashion events, such as the Giorgio Armani Privé haute couture show in 2019, just before her breakout role in “Stranger Things.” Their strong resemblance was showcased during the Dior haute couture show in 2020, where the pair beamed at the cameras, highlighting the close bond between them.
Thurman’s family connections extended to moments of shared laughter and joy when attending events, including a recent appearance in 2023 at the Cannes Film Festival, where she and Levon were seen enjoying each other’s company. Luna also made a rare appearance with her mother at the Broadway opening night of “Some Like It Hot!” in 2022, further showcasing the family’s strong ties and commitment to supporting one another.
Looking back on the years, Thurman has cherished numerous occasions involving her children. A poignant moment captured all three of her children together at the premiere of Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City,” a rare family photo that embodies their close-knit relationship. The family shares genuine moments together, which not only reflects their affection but also the underlying support they provide one another in their respective paths.
As Uma Thurman prepares to mark another milestone in her life, her journey as a mother continues to be a focal point of her personal narrative. With her children carving out their places in the world, Thurman’s pride shines through in every public appearance and heartfelt statement she makes about them. Through the highs and lows of her celebrity-filled life, it remains evident that her greatest accomplishments are those that come from being a devoted and loving mother.
