Love was officially in the air on Valentine’s Day — and not just because of the roses.
In a twist that has delighted fans across Hollywood and beyond, Stranger Things star Maya Hawke quietly tied the knot with musician Christian Lee Hutson during an intimate evening ceremony in New York City. What began as a romantic holiday ended with a surprise wedding no one saw coming.
And yes — her famous family and beloved co-stars were there to witness it all.
A Ceremony Straight Out of a Movie
The couple exchanged vows on Saturday, Feb. 14, inside St. George’s Episcopal Church in Manhattan. Rather than a massive, red-carpet spectacle, the evening leaned toward something far more personal: candlelight, close friends, and a guest list filled with people who have shaped Hawke’s life and career.
The bride, 27, looked ethereal in a white gown paired with a dramatic, oversized feathery coat — perfect for a winter wedding in the city. Hutson, 35, kept it timeless in a tuxedo, letting the focus remain where it belonged: on the moment.
Outside the venue, photographers captured glimpses of hugs, laughter, and more than a few happy tears as guests arrived and celebrated the newlyweds.
It was understated, elegant, and deeply romantic — very Maya.
Her Famous Parents Front and Center
Of course, many eyes immediately turned to Hawke’s parents: Hollywood icons Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman.
Both were present and visibly emotional as they watched their daughter say “I do.” Thurman wore a light blue gown with matching heels, while Ethan opted for a sleek all-black ensemble.
Despite their split decades ago, the former couple stood united in support of Maya, a moment fans online were quick to call “beautiful” and “full circle.”
Also in attendance was Maya’s brother, Levon, along with other members of their extended family.
For longtime followers of the Hawke-Thurman dynasty, it was a powerful reminder of how far Maya has come — from Hollywood kid to bona fide star creating her own legacy.
A ‘Stranger Things’ Reunion
The wedding also doubled as a mini Hawkins High reunion.
Several of Hawke’s Stranger Things castmates showed up to celebrate, including Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, and Sadie Sink.
Fans immediately lost it online as photos surfaced of the group arriving together, many pointing out how rare it is to see so many of them in one place outside of premieres.
After years of fighting monsters together on screen, they were now there for something far sweeter: love.
From Musical Partners to Life Partners
Hawke and Hutson’s love story didn’t begin in a Hollywood club or at an awards show. It began in music.
The pair first met years ago while working on songs, eventually collaborating on multiple projects. Hutson contributed to Hawke’s 2024 album Chaos Angel, and the two frequently praised each other publicly as artists and friends.
In interviews, Maya has often said that dating someone who already knows her deeply has been a gift.
“I cannot recommend highly enough dating your friends,” she once shared. “They know you as a person who has feelings.”
That friendship slowly evolved into romance — and now, marriage.
The Surprise Factor
Perhaps the most shocking part of all? No one knew it was happening.
There were hints over the past year — a ring sighting here, a red-carpet appearance there — but a Valentine’s Day wedding managed to stay under wraps until guests were already walking through the church doors.
In an age where celebrity moments leak in seconds, pulling off a secret ceremony is practically a superpower.
A New Chapter Begins
For Hawke, who has spent the past few years balancing blockbuster acting roles with an increasingly serious music career, marriage marks another milestone in a life that continues to evolve in the public eye.
Yet the wedding itself suggested something important: beneath the fame, she wanted intimacy, authenticity, and the people who matter most.
And honestly? That might be the most romantic detail of all.
As fans flood social media with congratulations, one thing is clear — this Valentine’s Day will be remembered for a very long time.
