Novel York City played host to a surprise Valentine’s Day wedding as “Stranger Things” star Maya Hawke and musician Christian Lee Hutson tied the knot. The ceremony, brimming with Hollywood talent, was confirmed by photos published by People magazine on February 17, 2026.
Hawke, 27, known for her role as Robin Buckley in the hit Netflix series which ran between 2019 and 2025 and Hutson, 35, exchanged vows in a private ceremony attended by a star-studded guest list. The couple’s union marks a significant moment for both, blending the worlds of acting and music.
Among those celebrating the couple were Hawke’s renowned parents, actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, as well as several of her “Stranger Things” co-stars. People reported that Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, and Joe Keery were all in attendance, solidifying the close bonds forged on the popular display.
Hawke donned a white dress for the occasion, while Hutson opted for a traditional tuxedo. The couple’s connection reportedly began “years ago” while working on music together, according to People. Hawke herself opened up about the benefits of dating friends in a 2024 interview on the “Zach Sang Show,” stating, “recommend highly enough dating your friends. It’s the best. They know you…not just a piece of paper for them to project their image of perfect girlfriend onto.”
Hutson, a former member of The Driftwood Singers, launched his solo career in 2014 and has since released five studio albums, including “Paradise Pop. 10” in 2024. Hawke confirmed her collaboration with Hutson on the album in a July 2024 Instagram post, praising him as a “poet musical genius” and expressing her gratitude for the opportunity to write with him.
The couple’s engagement was first revealed in an interview with SoCal Sound Session in 2025, with Hawke later photographed sporting a diamond ring on her wedding finger just two months later, as reported by People.
Hutson’s musical journey began with The Driftwood Singers, where he spent three years before establishing himself as a solo artist. He has released six extended plays in addition to his five studio albums, demonstrating a consistent dedication to his craft. His most recent album, “Paradise Pop. 10,” released in 2024, showcases his evolving musical style.
Representatives for both Hawke and Hutson have been contacted for comment by CNN, though a response was not immediately available.
As the couple begins their married life, fans and industry peers alike are celebrating their union. The blend of Hawke’s acting success and Hutson’s musical talent promises a dynamic future for the pair. It remains to be seen how their creative collaborations will continue to unfold, but their shared passion for the arts suggests a promising path forward.
