Indiana Hawke Is a Budding Creative like Her Dad Ethan Hawke

Indiana Hawke was born into a very creative family headed by actor, director, and author Ethan Hawke. A clip her big sister Maya Hawke posted suggests that she has the early makings of a filmmaker.

Indiana Hawke is the youngest child of Ethan Hawke and Ryan Shawhughes. The youngster makes rare but memorable appearances on her famous dad and streaming star sister's social media platforms.

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, she participated in an uplifting musical video with her siblings and father. She looks to have a close relationship with her eldest sibling, Maya.

Indiana Hawke Is the Baby of the Hawke Family

Ethan and Ryan welcomed their second daughter, Indiana, in July 2011, two years after they had Clementine Jane. The family lives in Brooklyn, New York. The "Reality Bites" actor shares two older kids with his first wife, Maya, and Levon.

The actress plays with Indiana's hair.

The Hawks adopted two puppies, the sisters Georgia and Jett, from a shelter after Indiana and Clementine set their hearts on a different dog. Posting about the story on National Puppy Day 2022, Ethan exclaimed, "Happiness ensued" when they decided to take both.

"The Last Movie Stars" director proved to be a true girl-dad in a post celebrating spring and Easter in April 2022. He uploaded a photo of him wearing highly ornamental bunny ears flanked by his two youngest daughters with similar headgear.

Older by 13 years, Maya seems to dote on her younger sister. Indiana and Clementine are draped over the actress in a photo from 2021. The "Stranger Things" actress posted a grey scale snap of Indiana as a toddler in 2015 captioned:

"Incredible Indy."

Ethan Hawke Wants Children to 'Know' Him

When asked how he wants to be remembered by his kids, Ethan said, "I don't want to be 'remembered' by them – I want them to know me when I'm gone. One way Indiana is getting to know him looks to be through the medium of music.

Maya shared a video of them performing a Townes Van Zandt song in March 2020. The actress plays with Indiana's hair while singing to her brother and dad's guitars. The youngest Hawke starts harmonizing with Maya midway through the first verse, and Clementine jumps in at the chorus.

Indiana remained artistic through the pandemic. That November, Maya was "blown away" when Clementine and Indiana made a stop-motion video for her single "Animal Enough."

Who Is Indiana Hawke's Mom?

Ryan Shawhughes met Ethan through his literary agent when he was still married to Uma Thurman. She became one of their on-set babysitters during a movie for a brief period.

Their relationship became romantic after running into each other a year after his divorce. Without the timeline of their relationship as context, there has been a misconception that they had an affair.

The Columbian grad wed Ethan Hawke in June 2008. She has produced multiple of his projects, such as "The Good Lord Bird," "Blaze," and "Wildcat," which also starred Maya Hawke.
