Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson Step Out as a Married Couple After Secret Valentine’s Day Wedding
Maya Hawke and musician Christian Lee Hutson have officially gone public as a married couple following their Valentine’s Day wedding in New York City — a ceremony attended by nearly the entire core cast of Stranger Things.
First Public Appearance Together
Hawke and Hutson made their first public appearance as a married couple at the 2026 Tibet House U.S. Benefit Concert in New York City on March 3. The pair performed as part of the concert’s musical guest lineup and were spotted together backstage.
This wasn’t the couple’s first time at the event. Hawke and Hutson previously performed together at the Tibet House U.S. Benefit Concert in February 2024, well before their engagement became public.
A ‘Stranger Things’ Reunion at the Wedding
The Valentine’s Day ceremony doubled as a mini Stranger Things reunion. Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton and Joe Keery all attended.
Hawke’s parents, Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, were also there. Thurman wore a blue dress, while Ethan Hawke wore a black suit and was seen holding his daughter’s bouquet. Hawke and Thurman also share a son, Levon Thurman-Hawke, born prior to their 2005 divorce.
The couple met while working on music together, collaborating on Hawke’s albums Moss and Chaos Angel, the latter released in 2024. They were first romantically linked in 2023, meaning their creative partnership came before the romance.
During an appearance on The Zach Sang Show in 2024, Hawke said of dating a friend, “It’s the best. They know you, they understand that you are a person and a human being who has dated other people … not just a piece of paper for them to project their image of a perfect girlfriend onto.”
Engagement Clues Fans Caught Early
Hawke sparked engagement speculation in March 2025 when she was photographed wearing a ring on her left hand. That same month, Hutson referred to Hawke as his “fiancée” during an interview on SoCal Sound Session, suggesting the couple was quietly engaged for nearly a year before the wedding.
On April 14, the couple made their red carpet debut at the opening night of John Proctor Is the Villain in New York City. The occasion was in support of Sadie Sink, Hawke’s Stranger Things castmate.
Hawke’s upcoming album, Maitreya Corso, is scheduled for release on May 1. Her previous albums were collaborations with Hutson, giving the new project an added layer of personal significance as music shaped by a creative and now marital partnership.
