Maya Hawke shares the one piece of advice she wishes she’d known before her Valentine’s Day wedding to Christian Lee.
talking to People In an interview published on Saturday, May 16, the Stranger Things star revealed that while the ceremony in New York City was everything she hoped for, she spent too much time stressing over details that, in the end, didn’t matter.
Hawke, 27, married the musician on February 14, 2026, in an intimate celebration attended by close friends and family, including her famous parents, Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman.
Although Hawke kept details about the big day under wraps, she admitted that the experience taught her an important lesson about letting go while passing on her wisdom to future brides.
“Be selfish. Because I was so worried about what everyone else’s experience was going to be like that I got totally nervous, and then it happened, and I had a great time, and everyone had a great time. I didn’t need to worry as much as I did.”
She added: “I lost 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 others happy, just make yourself happy.”
