Stranger Things star Maya Hawke tied the knot with singer-songwriter Christian Lee Hutson in a romantic New York City ceremony on February 14, 2026. The couple, who turned friendship into romance, celebrated with family and co-stars in attendance. Photos show Maya in a classic white gown and coat, while Christian rocked a timeless tux.
Oh, the tea is piping hot! Maya Hawke, 27, and Christian Lee Hutson, 35, said 'I do' on Valentine's Day in NYC, keeping it low-key but oh-so-chic. They've been an item since at least 2023, evolving from longtime friends in the music scene to soulmates. Remember that gem from Maya's 2024 Zach Sang Show chat? She spilled: “I cannot recommend highly enough dating your friends. It’s the best. They know you, they understand that you’re a person and a human being that has dated other people who has dated them. Who has feelings and is a living, breathing human not just like a piece of paper to project image of perfect girlfriend onto.” 💯
Christian, born November 5, 1990, in Kansas City, Missouri, and raised in LA after his family moved when he was 5, is no stranger to the spotlight himself. This singer-songwriter has dropped albums like Beginners, Quitters and Paradise Pop, and collabed with big names including Conor Oberst and Ethan Gruska. The duo's creative sparks flew— he co-wrote 'Carousel Horses' with his then-fiancée Maya last year, and featured on her 2024 album Chaos Angel. Iconic power couple vibes! 🔥
The guest list? A Stranger Things reunion dream: co-stars Natalia Dyer, Joe Keery, Sadie Sink, Finn Wolfhard, Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo, and Charlie Heaton all showed up. Maya's parents, Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, were there too, with possible sightings of Iris Apatow, Kathryn Newton, Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke, and Sam Nivola per reports. Ethan's been all about supporting his daughter's post-Stranger Things era, even directing her in 2023's Wildcat and teasing future on-screen team-ups: "Heck yeah, are you kidding me? I want to be with the star of Stranger Things!"
Photos obtained by People capture the wintery magic—Maya bundled in her gown and coat against the NYC chill. From friends to forever: is this the fairy tale we all needed? 👀
