Maya Hawke, the talented actress known for her role in the hit series “Stranger Things,” exchanged vows with musician Christian Lee Hutson on 14th February in New York City. The couple celebrated their love in an intimate ceremony that delighted friends and family, including notable guests from the entertainment industry.
In a recent interview with *Cosmopolitan* for their Winter 2026 issue, Hawke, 28, reflected on her wedding day, sharing that despite her initial hesitations about having the event photographed by the media, she found herself feeling “kind of happy” when images captured by a lone paparazzo were later published. Hawke admitted that the thought of media coverage was on her mind, but the excitement of walking down the aisle with her wedding party was always a priority for her.
The ceremony took place in a surprise celebration filled with love and laughter, with Hawke and Hutson seen walking through the streets of New York in formal attire. Among the guests were Hawke’s parents, renowned actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, alongside her younger brother, Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke. Fellow cast members from “Stranger Things,” including Finn Wolfhard and Gaten Matarazzo, were also present, lending a sense of camaraderie to the special occasion.
Interestingly, the wedding procession was captured by just one paparazzo. According to Hawke, the photographer was unobtrusive, allowing the festivities to unfold without disruption. “To their credit, they were extremely non-invasive,” she remarked, adding that no one noticed their presence, and no guest felt hindered by the situation.
Hawke and Hutson both wore custom designs by Prada for the big day, with Hawke showcasing a stunning gown characterised by a boat neckline and a voluminous skirt. Hutson complemented her look in a classic tuxedo, a fitting choice for the elegant affair. Hawke, who is a proud ambassador for the Prada brand, expressed her gratitude that images of her dress made their way into the public eye, calling it a respectful homage to the renowned fashion house without overtly promoting herself.
The actress has described married life as “absolutely fantastic” since the wedding, expressing her gratitude for the joy it brings her. In an exclusive statement to *PEOPLE*, she stated, “I’m a very, very lucky person who’s very happy right now. I couldn’t be more grateful.”
Taking a moment to reflect on the wedding itself, Hawke’s father, Ethan, shared some heartfelt sentiments about the emotional experience of walking his daughter down the aisle. He described the moment as profoundly moving, stating, “Walking your daughter down the aisle… I’ve had a lot of feelings in my life, and that was one I have no words for what that feels like.” He continued by praising Hutson, referring to him as “an amazing young man,” and revealing that he enjoyed the celebratory atmosphere of the event.
As the couple embarks on their journey together, Hawke’s heartfelt insights into the wedding and the joy of married life provide a glimpse into the couple’s bond and the warmth of their shared experiences.
