Maya Hawke chose Valentine's Day to bring together the people closest to her in New York City, keeping the evening understated and private.

As guests arrived — including several familiar faces from her professional circle — it became clear this was no ordinary celebration.

As reported by People, Maya and Christian Lee Hutson exchanged vows in a surprise Valentine's Day ceremony held in New York City on February 14, 2026.

For the occasion, Maya chose a white gown layered beneath an oversized, feathery winter coat, while Hutson, 35, opted for a traditional tuxedo.

Her mother, Uma Thurman, 55, arrived in a light blue dress paired with coordinating shoes, and Ethan Hawke, also 55, selected a sleek all-black look for the celebration.

Maya's brother, Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke, whom Ethan and Uma also share, attended the ceremony. Ethan is additionally a father to Clementine Jean Hawke and Indiana Hawke with his wife, Ryan Shawhughes Hawke.

Uma is also mother to a daughter, Luna, from her previous relationship with financier Arpad Busson.

The celebration also brought together several of Maya’s "Stranger Things" co-stars, including Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, and Joe Keery.

Images from the Valentine's Day ceremony circulated on Instagram, where users quickly shared their reactions.

"The bride is a vision in elegance and simplicity, and Uma looks beautiful too! 💚💙," one person wrote. "That's a wonderful MOB dress!" another commented. "Best wedding dress ever!!!!" a third added.

More admirers shared their reactions on the same platform. "Congratulations to the happy couple and their families 🥳🎉🥳💍💜," one commenter shared. "Maya looks stunning! What an elegant and lovely dress," another stated. "Beautiful dress!!! Congratulations everyone!!!" one person remarked.

While Maya quietly stepped into a new chapter, her father has also been sharing milestone moments of his own — this time with another young member of the Hawke family in the spotlight.

As previously reported, Ethan stepped out for the prestigious gathering with an unexpected but charming plus one — his 14-year-old daughter, Indiana Hawke.

Ethan is currently up for Best Actor for his role in "Blue Moon," and rather than walk the event solo, he chose to share the moment with his daughter. It was a rare outing — and a family moment that quickly stole attention.

Standing arm in arm before the cream backdrop embossed with towering gold Oscars lettering, Ethan, 54, looked every inch the seasoned nominee. He wore a sharply tailored black suit with a crisp white shirt and a gold bolo tie that added a subtle flourish.

His slicked-back hair and neatly groomed goatee completed the polished look, as he turned towards Indiana with an unmistakably proud smile.

Beside him, the teenager delivered effortless elegance in a structured white sleeveless dress, featuring a deep V neckline and statement buttons down the front.

A delicate gold necklace rested at her collarbone, while her long auburn hair fell straight over her shoulders. Her red manicure offered a quiet pop of colour as she looped her arm through her father's, poised and composed as cameras flashed.

In one frame, Ethan appeared mid-conversation, glancing sideways at Indiana with a soft expression. In another, she faced forward with a calm, almost model-like seriousness — a contrast that only highlighted their natural chemistry.

Online, many could not get over the strong resemblance between the two. "She's him all over!" one person commented. "She looks just like him," another wrote. "She's got daddy's eyes 😍," a third shared.

Others focused on her fresh-faced beauty. "She's lovely. She's perfect. Do not let her ever mess with that beautiful face! ❤️," one admirer commented.

However, several viewers were surprised by how mature the teenager appeared at the high-profile event. "14 😮 she looks about 22.. too much make-up.. save age as Harper Beckham and looks years older.. [sic]!" one person typed.

"She looks waaaaay older than 14," another remarked. "Dad? I think that this is her boyfriend. 😮," a third added. Still, the varied reactions did little to overshadow what was clearly a milestone appearance for Indiana, who rarely steps into the spotlight.

As Ethan celebrated his nomination for "Blue Moon," he had his daughter by his side — and, for a brief moment, the Oscars Nominees Luncheon became a father-daughter showcase.
