Everything to Know About Uma Thurman's Kids, Including "Stranger Things" Star Maya Hawke

Uma Thurman might play a fictional mom (who's also the president) in "Red, White & Royal Blue," but in real life she fills the role for her three kids. Thurman, 53, shares daughter Maya (who you'll recognize from "Stranger Things") and son Levon Hawke with ex-husband Ethan Hawke. The couple married in 1998 and divorced in 2005. Thurman also has daughter Luna with her ex-fiancé, financier Arpad Busson.

Back in June, Thurman attended the New York premiere of "Asteroid City" — which Maya stars in — with all three of her kids, pictured above. This May, she also brought Levon as her date to the Cannes Film Festival.

Back in 2012, Thurman reflected on how she balanced her career with raising her three kids — including the times she turned down jobs that could have been big moments. "Both your family and your career require full-time commitments to really do well," she told WebMD at the time. "It's somewhat impossible to give all your attention to two things or four things." Thurman explained, "You have to pick one [commitment] that you know you can't live with yourself if you screw up. I couldn't live with myself if I screwed up my kids."

Ahead, here's everything we know about Thurman's three kids, plus photos of the family together.

Maya Ray Thurman Hawke

Maya Thurman Hawke, born July 8, 1998, has followed in her parents' footsteps and works as a model and actor. After beginning her career in modeling — with gigs for Vogue, Calvin Klein, and AllSaints — Hawke made her screen debut as Jo March in the 2017 BBC adaptation of "Little Women." Her breakout role came as Robin in the third season of "Stranger Things," which was released in 2019, and she's been an essential member of the cast ever since. She's also started appearing in films, including 2019's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," 2022's "Do Revenge," and 2023's "Asteroid City." She's also a talented musician and has released two albums, including 2022's "Moss."

Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke

Levon, born in 2002, has also followed his sister's footsteps into the family business. This June, he appeared in Apple TV+'s "The Crowded Room," and he's set to appear in the upcoming cowboy film "The Thicket," which stars "Game of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage and "Yellowjackets" actor Juliette Lewis. He'll also appear in the movie "Pussy Island," Zoë Kravitz's directorial debut. Plus, Levon is also a musician and documents his guitar playing on Instagram.

Luna Thurman-Busson

Luna was born in 2012 during Thurman's relationship with Busson (the pair were together from 2007 to 2009 and then again between 2011 and 2014). Thurman mostly keeps Luna's life private, though in December 2022 the pair attended opening night of "Some Like It Hot" on Broadway together (pictured). Luna frequently appears on her mom's and sibling's Instagram pages, and it seems like the three siblings are a tight-knit squad.
