Maya Hawke shares the one piece of advice she wishes she knew before her Valentine’s Day wedding to Christian Lee.
Talk to People magazine, in an interview published on Saturday (May 16), the Stranger Things star revealed that while the New York 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 attended by her close friends and family, including her famous parents, Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman.
Although Hawke kept the details of the big day mostly under wraps, she admitted that the experience taught her an important lesson about letting go while imparting wisdom to future brides.
“Be selfish. Because I was so worried about how other people’s experiences were going to go that I put myself in a total mood, and then it happened, and I had a good time, and everyone else had a good time. I didn’t need to worry as much as I did.”
She added: “I wasted a lot of energy being so worried, 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 what you want. Don’t kill yourself trying to make everyone happy, just make yourself happy.”
