Ethan Hawke’s kids are all grown up now, and the father of four couldn’t be more proud of Maya, Levon, Clementine, and Indiana. Though the award-winning actor shares his children from previous relationships, the brood has remained a tight-knit family.
During an August 2018 interview with GQ, the Black Phone actor gushed about fatherhood, noting that having children “gives your life balance.” He added, “That’s the wonderful thing about children is they just need you every day. Meaning your whole life isn’t just about yourself.”
Ethan’s eldest child, Maya, has made headlines more than once over the years. As a working actress, the Stranger Things cast member followed in her dad’s footsteps, and the two have even worked together. During a September 2023 interview with Variety, the father-daughter duo reminisced about working on their indie film Wildcat. Though Maya was proud to portray a complex role in the movie, the pair acknowledged that they were criticized over nepotism.
“If someone wants to criticize us for working together, that’s totally fair,” Ethan pointed out. “You have to let people have their opinion. You just have to try to do a good job when you’re on stage.” Nevertheless, Ethan didn’t hesitate to note that he’s “a nepo dad,” and he is “not embarrassed about it.”

The highly accomplished actress doesn’t need her dad or mom, Uma Thurman, to advance her career! The Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood star previously revealed that Ethan helped her get the role in the Quentin Tarantino–directed project. However, she noted that auditions weren’t the single perk she wanted from having a famous family.
“I’m always running decisions by them,” Maya told the Wall Street Journal in July 2019. “They both have similar levels of success but really different experiences within the business. I think that’s the biggest advantage [I have], that I have information about the pitfalls and the good things. Hopefully it’ll keep me from making some mistakes that young actors can make.”
