Maya Hawke shares the one piece of advice she wishes she’d known before her Valentine’s Day wedding to Christian Lee.
speaks to People magazine in an interview published Saturday, May 16, the Stranger Things star revealed that while the New York City ceremony was everything she hoped for, she spent way too much time stressing over details that ultimately didn’t matter.
Hawke, 27, tied the knot with the musician on February 14, 2026 in an intimate celebration with close friends and family, including her famous parents, Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman.
Although Hawke mostly kept details of the big day under wraps, she admitted the experience taught her an important lesson about letting go as she passed on the wisdom to future brides.
“Be selfish. Because I worried so much about how everyone else’s experience was going to go that I worked myself into a total tizzy and then it happened and I had a great time and everyone had a great time. I didn’t have to worry as much as I did.”
She added: “I wasted a lot of energy worrying so much, so if I had any advice it would be to worry less. It’s going to be great. Everyone is there to support you, do whatever you want. Don’t kill yourself trying to make everyone else happy, just make yourself happy.”
