Published 03/23/2024, 9:37 AM EDT

Maya Hawke debuted on season three of Stranger Things as Robin Buckley. The daughter of Hollywood giants, Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, has ever since carved out a standout merit, taking her far beyond the labels of a ‘nepotism baby’. While her character arc on the show had her moving towards a potential pair up with Joe Keery’s Steve Harrington, she turned out to be canonically a lesbian. In real life, she has a dating history but with a keen focus on privacy and does not often dish out about it.

Details, nonetheless, of her current romantic partner did make their way out to the web in the form of shy speculations.

Famed as an actress, singer-songwriter, and model, Maya Hawke differs in sexuality from her Stranger Things character and has found herself linked with Gus Wenner and Tom Sturridge and musician Spencer Barnett. However, as per a December 2023 Daily Mail report, the actress walked around the streets of New York, pausing to kiss fellow musician and songwriter, Christian Lee Hutson. The duo had also collaborated on one of the actress' albums, 'Moss', the second of her career.

The twin Hollywood strikes rocked the planned release timeline of Stranger Things season five, pushing it back months behind deadlines. However, as soon as the strikes receded, Netflix called upon its actors and resumed productions on January 8, 2024. However, Mike Wheeler actor Finn Wolfhard revealed that the show has so far only completed three months of production, with nine more months lying ahead.

After facing the horrors of Upside Down with the Hawkins gang, the final fate of Maya Hawke’s character after the end of the last season now looks to be live, not before 2025. Furthermore, with Wolfhard also opening up on several key elements in the work to give the show a proper send-off, Netflix would not like to hasten up unnecessarily without deeming the narrative fit for the lore.
