Maya Hawke Marries Musician Christian Lee Hutson on Valentine’s Day

New York City played host to a surprise Valentine’s Day wedding on February 14th, as actress Maya Hawke and singer-songwriter Christian Lee Hutson exchanged vows. The ceremony, attended by a constellation of stars including Hawke’s parents, actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, and her Stranger Things co-stars, took place at the Episcopal Church of St. George on Stuyvesant Square in Manhattan.

Hawke, 27, was photographed in a classic white wedding dress with a bateau neckline and flowing skirt, paired with a dramatic, feathered white coat. Hutson, 35, opted for a traditional black tuxedo. Thurman, arriving at the venue, wore a light blue gown, while Ethan Hawke chose an all-black suit. The bride’s brother, Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke, was also present for the occasion.

The reception followed at The Players, a private club in Gramercy Park. Guests included several members of the Stranger Things cast: Gaten Matarazzo, Sadie Sink, Finn Wolfhard, Caleb McLaughlin, and Joe Keery. Notably absent were Millie Bobby Brown, Noah Schnapp, David Harbour, and Winona Ryder, according to reports.

The wedding marks a culmination of a relationship that began as a friendship several years ago. Hawke revealed in June 2024 that she and Hutson had been friends for four years before their connection deepened while working on her 2024 album, Chaos Angel. “recommend highly enough dating your friends,” she said at the time. “It’s the best. They know you. They know you really as a person who has feelings… and not just as a piece of paper on which they can project their image of the perfect girlfriend.”

Hutson subtly confirmed their engagement in March 2025 during an interview with The SoCal Sound, responding affirmatively when the host referred to Hawke as his “fiancée.” Prior to that, Hawke was seen wearing a diamond ring in Manhattan in April 2025, and the couple made their red carpet debut that same month at the opening night of John Proctor Is the Villain in New York City, supporting Sink’s performance.

Christian Lee Hutson is an American folk/indie singer-songwriter who has released several albums, including Quitters in 2022 and Paradise Pop.10 in 2024. He has collaborated with artists such as Phoebe Bridgers and Julia Jacklin. The couple’s shared passion for music has been a significant part of their relationship, with Hawke and Hutson frequently performing together.

The wedding has drawn considerable attention not only due to the prominence of the couple but also because of the reunion of the Stranger Things cast, shortly after the conclusion of the series. Fans expressed delight at seeing the cast members together, celebrating Hawke’s nuptials.

The choice of Valentine’s Day as the wedding date adds a romantic layer to the event, and the snowy backdrop of New York City provided a picturesque setting for the celebration. The ceremony and reception, held in historic and exclusive locations, reflect the couple’s sophisticated style and the close-knit community surrounding them.

While details surrounding the wedding remain largely private, the event underscores the growing profile of both Hawke and Hutson. Hawke, known for her role in Stranger Things and her burgeoning music career, continues to establish herself as a multifaceted talent. Hutson’s musical endeavors are also gaining recognition, and the couple’s union represents a blending of artistic worlds.
