Maya Hawke is a musician and actress whose major career breakthrough came thanks to her role as Robin Buckley on Netflix’s Stranger Things. She is the daughter of A-List actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman.

Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman married in 1998, although they ultimately divorced in 2005, after getting separated two years prior. Though rumors at the time pointed to alleged infidelity as the cause for their split, Hawke later emphasised professional stressors as the untimely cause for their breakup. They share two children, Maya and her younger brother Levon.

In the latest news about Maya Hawke, the Stranger Things star tied the knot with her fiancé, Christian Lee Hutson, on February 14 in New York City. Their Valentine’s Day nuptials occurred at St. George’s Episcopal Church and were attended by several high-profile stars, including Stranger Things castmates Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, and Joe Keery.

In 2024, Maya Hawke made the following comments about her relationship with Hutson on the Zach Sang Show.

“It is awesome. I mean, I cannot recommend highly enough dating your friends. It’s the best. They know you, and as a human being who has dated other people. They really know you as a person who has feelings … not just a piece of paper for them to project their image of perfect girlfriend onto.”

Hutson, like Hawke, is a musician.
