Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson are making their first public appearance as newlyweds.
The “Stranger Things” star, 27, and the singer-songwriter, 35, treated audiences to a side-by-side performance on Tuesday, March 3. Both Hawke and Hutson wore dark-colored ensembles. He paired a simple black turtleneck with slacks of the same shade, while she opted for a maroon, velvet turtleneck and black slacks.
They took the stage at New York City’s famed Carnegie Hall as part of the annual Tibet House US Benefit Concert. The performance was part of a celebration of Lunar New Year − 2026 is the year of the Fire Horse.
This is the pair’s first public outing since a dreamy Valentine’s Day wedding in the Big Apple. The singers were married in New York City on Saturday, Feb. 14. Hawke’s parents, Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, as well as her “Stranger Things” costars, were at her side, according to photos published by People magazine.
In April 2025, nearly a year after the two released songs they’d cowritten on Maya Hawke’s 2024 album “Chaos Angel,” she and Hutson stepped out for a Broadway date night in April 2025.
Hawke, who made her major film debut in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and starred in 2024’s “Inside Out 2,” cowrote tracks on her last two albums with Hutson. He is a frequent collaborator of Phoebe Bridgers’ and has accompanied her and her now-defunct supergroup boygenius on tour.
Speaking with USA TODAY about her debut album in 2020, Hawke opened up about following in her famous parents’ footsteps as an actor.
“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 said.
She later added, “I definitely thought I was prepared [for fame]. I thought if anyone could handle it, I could, because I thought I’d been handling it my whole life. … 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.”
