Fans were stunned when news hit of Stranger Things star Maya Hawke tying the knot with Christian Lee Hutsonon Valentine's Day. Details of the wedding day have been kept quiet, with Ethan Hawke finally opening up about the emotional day.
On February 14, media outlets reported that Hawke had married her longtime partner in an intimate ceremony in New York City, with her father and mother, Uma Thurman, in attendance. The wedding day also included a star-studded cast with Stranger Things co-stars Gaten Matarazzo, Finn Wolfhard, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Joe Keery, Caleb McLaughlin, and Charlie Heaton, along with one of the Duffer brothers.
During the Time 100 Gala, Hawke revealed to PageSix that it was emotional getting to walk his daughter down the aisle. Maya was photographed wearing a vintage-inspired satin dropped-waist gown with a veil and white feathered coat to match. Her father was also photographed helping his daughter to St. George's Episcopal Church.
"It would be very difficult not to [get emotional]," he said. "Whenever you see your children so happy, it's probably the most moving thing you could see."
The Lowdown actor also gushed as a proud father seeing his children, "loving their life and embracing their life and finding wonderful friends and partners." Maya is the first of Hawke's three children to get married.

A month after saying "I Do," Maya commented that she's "ecstatically happy" after marrying Huston in a surprise wedding. She added that "love is the best," and "I feel so lucky to have found my best friend and to have someone I can tell anything to. It makes something like getting married feel like, oh, of course, you know, not like what, and I'm very, very, very lucky, so I'm really happy."
Maya and Huston were first spotted together in 2023 in New York City before making their red carpet debut in April 2025 at the Broadway play John Proctor Is the Villain. The two had been friends for years before officially getting into a relationship and engagment.
