Maya Hawke Marries Christian Lee Hutson in New York City
Maya Hawke and musician Christian Lee Hutson were married in New York City on Saturday, Feb. 14 (ET). Family members and a circle of close friends joined the couple for a day of candid moments and celebration that included a stroll through the city and an intimate reception.
A star-studded celebration in New York City
Photographs from the day captured Hawke in a classic white boatneck gown with a voluminous tulle skirt, while Hutson wore a dark suit with a black bowtie over a white shirt and an ivory waistcoat. Hawke’s mother wore a gauzy light-blue dress and her father chose a navy suit with a black shirt for the occasion. Several of Hawke’s television castmates were photographed en route to the reception, walking together through Manhattan as the newlyweds and their guests made their way between venues.
The gathering had the feel of a close-knit celebration rather than a formal procession, with friends and family arriving in small groups and lingering in the city’s winter light. Observers noted a relaxed, joyful atmosphere as the couple moved between shots and conversation, greeting well-wishers and posing for photos along the way.
Creative partnership and private romance
Hawke, 27, and Hutson, 35, have also cultivated a creative partnership offstage. The two co-wrote material together that appeared on Hawke’s 2024 album, followed by public outings that made their relationship visible last spring during a Broadway date night in April 2025. Hutson, known for frequent collaborations with other contemporary artists, has toured with notable acts and is an established presence in indie music circles.
In addition to her music, Hawke has built a profile as an actor with roles in high-profile films and voice work. She has spoken in the past about navigating fame with famous parents, noting that she adjusted her professional name early in her career. "I did drop the Thurman in my name, because Thurman-Hawke was my name in high school. There was something about, in my professional life, having a marginally different name that felt good, " she has said. She also reflected on the complexities of being a public artist in the social media era: "I definitely thought I was prepared [for fame]. I thought if anyone could handle it, I could... It's complicated that in order to be an artist or an actor or a singer, you have to also deal with a certain amount of being a celebrity. "
Private moments, public milestones
The wedding marks a milestone for both partners, who have balanced collaborative work with a private life that occasionally intersected with red-carpet moments. Guests described the tone as intimate and warm, with the couple focused on spending time with close friends and family rather than staging a large public spectacle. The choice of New York City provided a familiar and cinematic backdrop for the pair’s vows and early photographs as newlyweds.
As Hawke and Hutson begin married life, their creative collaboration and shared public appearances suggest they will continue to intertwine artistic work with personal milestones. Friends and onlookers say the atmosphere throughout the day was one of easy companionship and celebration.
