At a Glance
- Ethan Hawke’s four children-Maya, Levon, Clementine, and Indiana-are carving their own creative paths
- Maya just finished filming Stranger Things season 5 and fronts a music career with three albums
- Younger sisters Clementine and Indiana joke that Maya’s fame overshadows their dad
Why it matters: The next generation of Hawkes is proving talent runs in the family.
Ethan Hawke’s household has become a mini-entertainment dynasty. While the four-time Oscar nominee continues to act, direct, and write, his kids are stealing scenes-and headlines-on their own terms.
Maya Hawke: From Little Women to Stranger Things
Born July 8, 1998, to Ethan and ex-wife Uma Thurman, Maya Hawke launched her screen career as Jo March in the 2017 BBC Little Women. Ethan watched the premiere beaming: “She didn’t do a good job, she did a great job,” he told News Of Los Angeles in early 2018.
Maya’s breakout role arrived two years later as Robin Buckley on Netflix’s Stranger Things. She wrapped the series’ fifth and final season in 2025. “I thought Maya did a great job. I thought the whole show did a great job,” Ethan said during a January 2026 interview on The Late Show.
Her résumé also includes:
- Flower Child in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)
- Annie Brown opposite Ethan in Showtime’s The Good Lord Bird (2020)
- Title role in Wildcat, a 2024 biopic about author Flannery O’Connor that Ethan directed and co-wrote
Away from acting, Maya records music. She has released three albums:
| Album | Year |
|---|---|
| Blush | 2020 |
| Moss | 2022 |
| Chaos Angel | 2024 |
She credits her dad for the creative spark. “We’d spend a lot of time together playing guitar, singing songs, writing poetry,” she told As If magazine. Art, she added, became “a communication tool” between them.
Maya is dating singer Christian Lee Hutson. The couple made their red-carpet debut at the April 2025 premiere of Broadway’s John Proctor Is the Villain.
Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke: Fashion Fixture and Rising Actor
Ethan and Thurman’s second child, Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke, arrived on January 15, 2002. He frequents front-row seats at Dior couture shows with his mom and has modeled for several magazines.
On-screen, Levon appeared alongside Tom Holland in Apple TV+’s anthology The Crowded Room and featured in Zoë Kravitz’s 2024 thriller Blink Twice. Courtside, he and Ethan attend NBA games; at the 2015 All-Star match Ethan swapped seats so Levon could sit next to Rihanna.
Clementine Jane Hawke: The MCU Convert
Born in July 2008, Clementine Jane Hawke is Ethan’s first child with wife Ryan Shawhughes Hawke. Big sister Maya helped babysit during Clementine’s infancy, Ethan noted in 2010.
Clementine paid little attention to her dad’s films-until the Moon Knight trailer dropped in 2022. “She watched it on her phone…her eyes just went [wide],” Ethan recalled to News Of Los Angeles. “‘That’s what the kids at school are talking about.'” The Disney+ series, he said, was “the first one that impressed her.”
In April 2021 Clementine joined Ethan onstage at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival as he presented Amanda Seyfried with the Montecito Award.
Indiana Hawke: The Musical Youngest
Indiana Hawke, born in July 2011, rounds out the family. During 2020 lockdowns she harmonized with Maya, Clementine, Ethan, and Levon on a cover of “To Live Is to Fly,” posted to Maya’s Instagram. Indiana sings while her dad and Levon strum guitars.
On Easter Sunday 2022 Ethan posted a rare photo of himself with Clementine and Indiana, captioning it: “Nature doing its thing. Happy Easter and Spring everyone.”
Sibling Banter and Famous Dad Problems
During the family’s 2025 Telluride Film Festival visit, director Sterlin Harjo asked Clementine and Indiana what it felt like having Ethan as a dad. They quipped, “It’s hard having a famous sister. Nobody cares about my dad…My sister’s picture is in the lockers everywhere,” Ethan relayed on The Late Show.
Ethan and Ryan married in 2008. The blended family frequently supports one another at premieres, concerts, and festivals-turning Hawke gatherings into low-key industry events.
Key Takeaways
- All four Hawke children pursue creative outlets, from acting and music to fashion
- Maya’s mainstream success has shifted sibling perspectives on fame
- Ethan embraces both mentor and proud-parent roles across their projects
