Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson Step Out as Newlyweds After Valentine’s Day Wedding
Maya Hawke quietly married musician Christian Lee Hutson on Valentine’s Day in New York City. Now the couple has gone public — with concert performances, a red carpet debut, and a Stranger Things cast reunion wedding guest list that reads like a Hawkins High roll call.
First Public Appearance Together
Hawke and Hutson made their first appearance as a married couple at the 2026 Tibet House U.S. Benefit Concert in New York City on March 3. They performed as part of the concert’s musical guest lineup and were spotted together backstage.
The event had history for them. Hawke and Hutson previously performed together at the Tibet House U.S. Benefit Concert in February 2024, well before their engagement became public.
The Wedding Guest List Was a ‘Stranger Things’ Reunion
The Valentine’s Day ceremony doubled as a gathering of the Hawkins crew. Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton and Joe Keery all attended — the core cast that fans have watched grow up on screen together since the show’s debut.
Hawke’s parents, Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, were also there. Thurman wore a blue dress. Ethan Hawke wore a black suit and was seen holding his daughter’s bouquet.
How They Met — Through Music, Not Hollywood
The couple’s relationship started in the studio, not at a party. Hawke and Hutson 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 the creative partnership came first.
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.”
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 — meaning the couple was quietly engaged for nearly a year before their Valentine’s Day wedding.
On April 14, 2025, Hawke and Hutson 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 — another intersection between Hawke’s personal life and her bonds with the show’s ensemble.
