On February 14, Maya Hawke celebrated her wedding day surrounded by both of her famous parents, Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman. The 27-year-old actress tied the knot with musician Christian Lee Hutson during a surprise ceremony in Manhattan, marking a special occasion that brought the former couple back together in support of their daughter’s milestone.
Though Thurman and Hawke separated in 2005, they appeared united for this family event, joined also by their son Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke. Maya wore a classic white wedding gown complemented by a large, feathery winter coat, while Hutson chose a traditional tuxedo. Uma Thurman, 55, stood out in a light blue dress paired with matching shoes, and Ethan Hawke, also 55, opted for an all-black outfit.
Family Connections and Notable Guests at the Wedding
In addition to Levon, Ethan Hawke’s other children with wife Ryan Shawhughes Hawke—Clementine Jean Hawke and Indiana Hawke—were part of the extended family circle, along with Thurman’s daughter Luna from her relationship with ex-fiancé Arpad Busson. The wedding was also attended by Maya’s close friends and fellow cast members from the hit series Stranger Things. Natalia Dyer, Joe Keery, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, and Sadie Sink all gathered to celebrate Maya and Hutson’s special day.
Christian Lee Hutson had earlier confirmed his engagement to Maya in February 2023 while speaking to SoCal Sound Session, preceding public appearances where Maya was seen wearing a diamond ring. This confirmed the anticipation that had surrounded the couple’s relationship.
