Ethan Hawke Divorced: His History of Marriage, Explained

Reading Time: 3 minutes

From The Dead Poets Society to Moon Knight, Ethan Hawke is an acting legend.

And he’s not the only one in his family — including exes — to be a household name.

Hawke has been married and divorced over the years.

Here’s a look at his history — and where things stand today.

Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman

In 1996, Hawke met Uma Thurman while the two were filming the 1997 film, Gattaca.

The two married on May 1, 1998.

Hawke and Thurman were an instant power couple, for being acclaimed actors and for both being one of the hottest stars of the ’90s.

In 1998, they welcomed Maya Hawke — who is arguably just as famous as her parents, these days.

Levon, born in 2002, also went into acting. What a talented family!

Unfortunately, the marriage did not last.

In 2003, Thurman and Hawke separated.

Then, in 2004, she filed for divorce.

It is widely believed that Hawke cheating on Thurman, though she has repeatedly declined to badmouth her ex.

Amidst “humiliating” tabloid scrutiny, they finalized their divorce in August 2005.

Ethan Hawke and Ryan Shawhughes

According to Ethan Hawke, he and Ryan Shawhughes only began dating a year after his divorce from Thurman.

Shawhughes is a Columbia University graduate.

Briefly, she worked as a nanny for Hawke and Thurman’s children.

(Yes, that sounds complex!)

Hawke has publicly confirmed that his divorce was unrelated to Shawhughes. Like we said, complex!

In June of 2008, Hawke and Shawhughes married.

The following month, they welcomed their first child as a couple, Clementine.

Then, in July of 2011, Shawhughes gave birth to their second daughter, Indiana.

That makes her the youngest of Hawke’s four children.

Hawke and Shawhughes launched a production company together: Under the Influence Productions.

Where do things stand today?

Ethan Hawke and Ryan Shawhughes — now Ryan Hawke — remain very much together.

Their youngest girls are teenagers. That’s how time works, you see.

Hawke and Thurman have received praise for their co-parenting.

And, as their children — particularly Maya (no shade to Levon) — continue to stand out on their own, some younger fans are learning for the first time that they were once an item.

Hopefully, they’ll continue their long and happy marriage!

Alaska Beacon state and legislative daybook for the week of March 16, 2026

At the Alaska Beacon, we’re constantly trying to figure out where we should put our attention. There’s always more news than there are people to report it.

Every Thursday, the Alaska Legislature publishes its committee schedule for the coming week. Public notices alert us to meetings and events. The governor’s office occasionally lets us know ahead of time that something’s coming down the pike, too.

Here’s what we know about for the coming week. If you know of something that’s coming up that you should think we should pay attention to, email us at info@alaskabeacon.com.

We can’t cover everything on this list, but we’re interested in them and we think you should know about them in case you’re interested in them, too.

This list is ripped from our notebooks, and it is likely to change over the course of the week. We’ll update it when we can.

Are you trying to keep track of when to testify on a bill? The Legislature has a website for that.
