Maya Hawke's surprise wedding: How the 'Stranger Things' star said 'I do'

WATCH: Cast of 'Stranger Things' talks final season

Maya Hawke and singer-songwriter Christian Lee Hutson are married.

The couple exchanged vows in a surprise Valentine's Day ceremony on Feb. 14, surrounded by family and close friends, according to People

Maya Hawke's parents, actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, were both in attendance.

The occasion also saw a reunion of many of her "Stranger Things" castmates, including Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton and Joe Keery.

For their special day, Maya Hawke wore a white wedding dress styled with an oversized, feathery winter coat, while Hutson opted for a traditional tuxedo. 

Thurman arrived in a light blue gown with coordinating shoes, and Ethan Hawke wore an all-black look. Maya Hawke's brother, Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke, was also in attendance.

ABC News has reached out to Maya Hawke's representative, but did not hear back immediately. 

Hutson previously confirmed Hawke was his fiancée during an interview with SoCal Sound Sessions published in March 2025. 

In April, Maya Hawke was photographed wearing a diamond ring in Manhattan, and later that month, the couple made their red carpet debut at the opening night of "John Proctor Is the Villain" in New York City, where Maya Hawke attended in support of Sink.

Maya Hawke first crossed paths with Hutson while making music several years ago. The New York–based artist later opened for Phoebe Bridgers on tour from 2022 to 2023 and appeared on Maya Hawke's 2024 album, "Chaos Angel."

In February 2024, Hutson shared a Valentine's Day post featuring a photo of the two sitting together on a couch. 

That summer, Maya Hawke offered further glimpses into their relationship, posting candid Instagram photos in July that showed the pair relaxing on a bed and traveling together on a plane.

Speaking on "The Zach Sang Show" that same month, Maya Hawke reflected on their relationship, saying dating a close friend has been especially meaningful. 

"It's awesome. I cannot recommend highly enough dating your friends. It's the best," she explained at the time. “​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."
