Maya Hawke’s husband, Christian Lee Hutson, is her partner in music — and in life.
The “Stranger Things” star were friends and collaborators long before going public with their romance in 2023.
While Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman’s daughter has primarily kept her relationship private, she did gush about her fellow musician on “The Zach Sang Show” in 2024.
“I cannot recommend highly enough dating your friends,” she said 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 [the] perfect girlfriend onto. It’s the best to feel seen in that way.”
The pair tied the knot on Valentine’s Day in 2026 in New York City, with Maya’s parents and “Stranger Things” co-stars in attendance at St George’s Episcopal Church.

Hutson was born in Kansas City, Miss., relocating to California at age 5 when his mother remarried.
The family lived in Santa Monica, according to Hutson’s May 2020 Under the Radar profile, and he attended attended a fundamentalist Christian elementary school.
When Hutson’s mom tried to make him a “well-rounded student” with guitar lessons at 12, her plan “backfired” because he “became so obsessed with playing guitar that [he] started failing all of [his] classes and dropped out of school altogether three years later.”

Hutson promotes his music via Instagram — and his first three posts are 2024 tributes to his collaboration with Maya on her “Chaos Angel” record.
He called the “Little Women” star “an unstoppable force” in one upload.
He gushed, “[She is] truly one of the only people I’ve ever met with the courage to pull the deepest and darkest from within herself out into the light, to hold it there, really examine it, and choose to love it, chaos and all.”
Who has Hutson dated in the past?
Prior to his romance with Maya, Hutson was married to fellow singer Sharon Silva.
It remains unclear when the former couple divorced.
Silva, however, praised Hutson in a 2015 Instagram post, writing, “I am so proud of you. 💐💛”
What are his and Maya’s relationship milestones?
Maya and Hutson were spotted kissing in 2023, one year after working together on her “Moss” album.
