Maya Hawke is in the honeymoon phase of her relationship with husband Christian Lee Hutson one month after they tied the knot.
Hawke, 27, called married life “absolutely fantastic” while attending the world premiere of her new movie Wishful Thinking on Thursday, March 12.
“I’m a very, very lucky person who’s very happy right now,” Hawke told People at the SXSW Conference & Festivals in Austin, Texas. “And yeah, [I] couldn’t be more grateful.”
The Stranger Things alum couldn’t stop gushing about her romance with Hutson, 35, at the event.
“I feel so lucky to have found my best friend and to have someone I can tell anything to,” Hawke told Page Six on Thursday of her spouse, who is a singer-songwriter. “It makes something like getting married feel like, ‘Oh, of course,’ you know, not like, ‘What?’ And I’m very, very, very lucky, so I’m really happy.”
She added that she’s “ecstatically happy” following her wedding. “I mean … love is the best,” Hawke revealed.
Hawke and Hutson surprised fans by exchanging vows on Valentine’s Day, February 14, in New York City.
According to photos from the nuptials obtained by multiple outlets, Hawke wore an elegant white ballgown with a matching cropped jacket. Hutson wore a classic black tuxedo to say, “I do.”
The bride’s famous parents, exes Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, were on hand to celebrate their special day. (Thurman, 55, welcomed Maya with Ethan, 55, in July 1998. The exes, who split in 2005, also share son Levon, 24. Ethan is also father to daughters Clementine, 17, and India, 14, whom he shares with wife Ryan Shawhughes Hawke.)
Maya’s Stranger Things costars were also represented on the guest list, with Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer and Joe Keery all showing up to toast the happy couple.
Maya and Hutson’s wedding day was unexpected as the pair never publicly announced their engagement.
The newlyweds dated for roughly three years before they walked down the aisle. They were first romantically linked in 2023.
Maya opened up about finding love with Hutson in 2024 during an appearance on The Zach Sang Show.
“I cannot recommend highly enough dating your friends. It’s the best,” she gushed. “They know you, and as a human being who has dated other people. 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.”
That same year, Hutson peeled back the curtain on his and Maya’s working relationship after recording several songs together.
“I just have so much fun writing with her, similar to Phoebe [Bridgers],” Hutson told Extra in November 2024. “I think she really understands how my brain works and is very good at helping flesh out the little world. It’s fun to be bouncing these characters around with her, and it’s just unbelievable.”
