First of all, I can’t be the only one who didn’t know Maya Hawke was even seeing anyone, right? 

Whatever the case may be, Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson’s wedding caught many people by surprise, mainly because it was kept a secret until about a day after the ceremony. After that, pictures of Maya Hawke in her beautiful wedding dress and all the celebrities in attendance spread like wildfire. If you want to know more about the romantic Valentine’s wedding, or, like me, had no idea Maya Hawke was even in a relationship, and want to catch up on all the details, you’re in the right place.

On the topic of how their relationship developed, there isn’t much to find out about when or how the couple may have originally met. However, what we do know is that they worked together on Maya Hawke’s album Moss back in 2022, where Christian Lee Hutson is credited as a composer and lyricist. Later, in 2023, the two were photographed kissing in New York, marking themselves as official in the eyes of the public. Then, about a year ago, in early 2025, they soft-launched their engagement with Maya Hawke being photographed with her ring and Christian Lee Hutson referring to her as his fiancĂ©e. Overall, though, the couple keeps a good part of their relationship private, which obviously they’ve been pretty successful at.

Aside from taking place on Valentine’s Day, the international day of love and romance, the most interesting thing about their wedding is that fact that it was kept a secret. Secret weddings aren’t uncommon in the world of celebrities who want just a bit of privacy on their special days, and, in this case, it isn’t surprising at all considering Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson’s history of keeping things on the downlow. 

The wedding itself took place in New York City, where the couple had the ceremony in a church before moving on to celebrate in a private club. Most of the photos available of the wedding include Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson walking in the streets in their wedding clothes, followed by the rest of the attendees.

Despite the small invitation list, there were still many recognizable faces in the crowd. Many of the Stranger Things cast, including Joe Keery, Finn Wolfhard, Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo, and Natalia Dyer, were in attendance, reuniting just a couple of months after their show’s finale. Then, whether you consider them fellow celebrities or just her family, Maya Hawke’s parents, Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, were there to see their daughter get married.

As of now, neither Maya Hawke nor Christian Lee Hutson has posted any photos or details about the wedding, and, considering their private nature, they might not post anything at all. Even so, after I overcame my shock about Maya Hawke getting married, I can now say I wish the best to the happy couple.
