Ethan Hawke & Uma Thurman's Daughter Maya Ties the Knot on Valentine's Day — 30+ Photos Show Her Love Story with Husband Christian Lee Hatson

Love was already in the air on February 14, but no one expected this. Before you reach the end of this gallery, you'll see why the actress's surprise wedding day might be the most poetic celebrity love story of the year.

Scroll slowly. Every photo tells a piece of it. According to reports, Maya Hawke, 27, and musician Christian Lee Hutson, 35, got married during a surprise Valentine's Day ceremony in New York City on Saturday, February 14, 2026.

Yes, a real-life rom-com moment.

The Bride Wears Prada

Maya reportedly stunned in a white sleeveless Prada gown and an oversized, feathery winter coat for the ceremony. The pair got married at St. George's Episcopal Church on Stuyvesant Square in Manhattan, according to news reports.

Her groom wore a classic tuxedo. After the ceremony at St. George's Episcopal, the couple walked to their reception at The Players, a private members' club in Gramercy Park.

Winter coats layered over suits, fur draped over shoulders, it was New York romance at its finest. The silhouette was classic, understated, and, if you ask fans, cinematic.

Enter the Famous Parents

Maya's parents, Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, were both in attendance and looking every bit the proud parents. Uma, 55, wore an ethereal light-blue chiffon gown with matching heels and a long pearl necklace, finished with a sapphire pendant. Ethan, also 55, opted for an all-black ensemble.

The former couple, married from 1998 to 2005, reunited to celebrate their daughter's big day, and the internet noticed. Also in attendance was Maya's brother, Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke. Ethan's daughters, Clementine Jean Hawke and Indiana Hawke, were part of the extended celebration, along with Uma's daughter Luna.

The Internet Reacts

Almost instantly, fans began drawing comparisons between Maya and her mom's iconic role in "Kill Bill." On Instagram, fans and viewers flooded the comments section with reactions including, "Best wedding dress ever!!!!" and "Looks like the dress from "parent trap [sic]." Stunning." Others referenced Uma's legendary on-screen persona.

Facebook commenters didn't hold back. "Ahhh she looks like the Bride 👰🏼‍♀️ when UMA played in Kill Bill 2! 🫶🏼," one person wrote. Another added, "Her & Uma are literal twins." The resemblance? Uncanny.

The guest list included Maya's "Stranger Things" co-stars Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Joe Keery, and Finn Wolfhard.

But some fans had questions. "Where's Jonathon? Millie Bobbie Brown? Hopper and Joyce?" one commenter asked. "Is anyone else wondering why Millie didn't show up?" another wrote. The speculation swirled, but the celebration carried on.

Even Ethan sparked a conversation. "So is no one gonna mention that Ethan hawke looks like the priest [sic]." one commenter joked. Another added, "Is Ethan a priest?" Spoiler alert: No. He was simply a very proud dad dressed in black, reportedly wearing a corsage that matched the bride's bouquet, which he carried as the wedding party made their way to the ceremony.

Now, Let's Talk About the Love Story

Because this wasn't a whirlwind romance, it was something quieter, and maybe even sweeter. Maya previously revealed that she and Christian fell in love while making her album "Chaos Angel." They had been friends for four years before dating.

"It's awesome. 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," she said. "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."

Friends to lovers? We're listening. Christian produced "Chaos Angel," and the emotional intimacy of crafting songs about past loves while falling for each other added a deeply personal layer to the record.

He Confirmed She Was His Fiancée

During a March 24, 2025, interview with Julie Slater of The SoCal Sound, Christian confirmed Maya was his fiancée while discussing the track "Carousel Horses," which features Phoebe Bridgers and Maya.

When asked about the song, including "your fiancé, Maya Hawke," he replied, "Yeah [...] That was part of the second session that we did for this record. We did the first chunk, and then we wrote two more songs and was like, 'oh, maybe we should try and or three more songs, try and throw those on there."

Later, when asked if he had produced Maya's record, his response was simple, "Yeah." Sometimes love stories don't need dramatic declarations.

A Creative Partnership

Christian also opened up about collaborating with Maya in a November 20, 2024, interview while promoting his album "Paradise Pop. 10."

"I just have so much fun writing with her, similar to Phoebe [Bridgers]. I think she really understands how my brain works and is very good at helping flesh out the little world. It's fun to be bouncing these characters around with her, and it's just unbelievable."

Creative chemistry turned romantic chemistry.

Inside Christian's Mind

Christian once explained his songwriting process in Acoustic Guitar, saying, "I usually start with a melody that pops into my head. These days I have melodies happening while I'm asleep, in my dreams. When there's one that's really strong, it will wake me up."

He added, "Then I'll record myself singing that melody, and slowly figure out what chord changes I want to put over it. I think about things a lot in terms of bass and melody. My thumb will try and find a nice bass line, and my other fingers find the melody." The man writes melodies in his sleep and is married on Valentine's Day.

A Valentine's Ending

By the time you reach the final image in this gallery, one thing is clear: this wasn't just a wedding. It was: a reunion of Hollywood royalty, a celebration of artistic partnership, a friendship-turned-forever romance, and a Valentine's Day no one will forget.

Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson didn't just say "I do." They said it in a chapel in Manhattan, surrounded by family, friends, fur coats, famous faces, and a love story that unfolded in recording studios before it ever reached the altar.

And if the internet comments are any indication, fans are just as smitten as the couple. Because sometimes, the best love stories aren't loud. They're written quietly, in melodies, in shared creativity, and apparently, in winter weddings on February 14. 2026.
