Inside Uma Thurman And Ethan Hawke Personal Life After Their Divorce

Uma Thurman and her ex-husband, Ethan Hawke, have been on our screens for decades. The pair have previously appeared in some of Hollywood’s most memorable films, occasionally together. They met on the set of the sci-fi movie Gattaca in 1996, then married two years later, in 1998. They had daughter Maya Hawke the following year and son Levon Hawke four years later in 2002. Rumor has it that both children are descended from the family line. Following in their parents’ footsteps, Maya and Levon are slated to star in the fourth season of Stranger Things.

Unfortunately, the power couple broke up in 2003 and divorced two years later. Thurman and Hawke spoke openly about their relationship, the divorce, and the allegations surrounding it. At the time of their divorce, rumors began to circulate that Thurman’s husband had cheated on her with their babysitter, Ryan Shawhughes. Hawke, on the other hand, countered that, arguing that their marriage broke up before Shawhughes entered the scene.

Uma Thurman and her husband about the failure of their marriage

After their divorce, Hawke began publicly dating Shawhughes in 2005, despite his fierce denials. The actor later stated in an interview with The Guardian that she took a long break from work when he fell in love with their nanny. He said the main reason for the breakup was his desire to become famous as an actor. Thurman returned to work after giving birth while her boyfriend stayed home to take care of the baby.

However, the deal didn’t work out, as Hawke put it:

“I’m living in a hotel room with the kids while you’re working six hours a day on set doing what you love. Do it for nine months and see how happy you are.”

The breakup of their marriage crushed the Pulp Fiction actress. She thought the whole thing was strange because one day they were a family, and then she and her husband stopped communicating. However, the actress said she was the only one at fault in their breakup.

Uma Thurman and her husband have moved

Hawke secretly married Shawhughes in 2008, the same year they had their first child. They are still married and have two children, Clementine and Indiana. And, in case you were wondering, “Who is Uma Thurman married to now?” she does not. She has had unsuccessful relationships. She was previously engaged to hotelier André Balazs and French banker Arpad Busson, but both engagements failed.

Thurman and Busson had a daughter in 2012 and the couple disputed custody, but Thurman was given primary custody. In June 2021, it was reported that the actress was dating Bloomberg Media Group CEO Justin B. Smith. This information was provided quietly in a New York Times article titled “Washington Society Steps Out of the Game,” discussing the reception at Smith’s Home. The article cited a “Pulp Fiction celebrity dating Mr Smith” among the media elite attending the party.
