Maya Hawke’s husband, Christian Lee Hutson, is her partner in music and life.
The Stranger Things stars were friends and collaborators long before their romance became public in 2023.
Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman’s daughter has kept her relationship largely private, but she opened up about her fellow musician on The Zack Sang Show in 2024.
“I don’t really recommend dating friends,” she said at the time. “They really get to know you as a human being with feelings…not just a piece of paper to project the image of the perfect girlfriend. It’s great to feel seen that way.”
The couple wed in New York City on Valentine’s Day 2026, with Maya’s parents and her Stranger Things co-stars in attendance at St. George’s Episcopal Church.
Get to know Hutson below.
Where did Hutson grow up?
Hutson was born in Kansas City, Michigan, and moved to California at the age of five after her mother remarried.
According to Hutson’s May 2020 Under the Radar profile, the family lived in Santa Monica and attended a fundamentalist Christian elementary school.
Hutson’s mother tried to develop him into a “well-rounded student” with guitar lessons when he was 12 years old, but the plan “backfired”. Hutson “became so obsessed with playing the guitar that he started failing all his classes and dropped out of school completely after three years.”
What does Hutson do for a living?
Hutson is a singer-songwriter who began her musical career as a member of the Driftwood Singers from 2010 to 2013.
Since breaking out as a solo artist, he has released five albums, three of which he co-produced with Phoebe Bridgers: Beginners, Quitters, and Paradise Pop.
Hutson opened for Bridgers on tour in 2022-2023.
Is Hutson active on social media?
Hutson promotes his music through Instagram, and his first three posts are an homage to his collaboration on Maya’s 2024 “Chaos Angel” record.
In one upload, he called the Little Women star an “unstoppable force.”
He passionately said, “(She is) one of the few people I’ve ever met who had the courage to bring out the deepest, darkest things within themselves into the light, 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.
However, Silva praised Hutson in a 2015 Instagram post, writing, “So proud of you. 💐💛.”
What are the milestones in his and Maya’s relationship?
Maya and Hutson were spotted kissing in 2023, a year after they collaborated on the album Moth.
Hutson called the “Fiancé Street” star his “fiancée” on So Cal Sound in March 2025, and Maya was later photographed wearing a diamond ring on his finger.
She and Hutson made their red carpet debut in April 2025 and married on Valentine’s Day the following year.
