- Clementine Jane — 18 years old, Hawke and Shawhughes’ older daughter.
The couple has occasionally joined Hawke at public events over the years, but these joint appearances remain infrequent.
Ethan Hawke’s past marriage and media scrutiny
Before his current marriage, Hawke was wed to actress Uma Thurman from 1998 to 2005. They share two children:
- Maya, now in her late 20s.
- Levon Roan, in his mid-20s.
Their split drew intense media attention, amid allegations linking Thurman’s former nanny to the breakup. Hawke has consistently denied claims of an affair.
How Hawke has addressed the divorce and new relationship
In interviews, Hawke has reflected on the strain public scrutiny adds to private life. He described the attention around divorce as corrosive and emphasized that the hardest parts were the personal, family-related struggles.
He also spoke about remarrying, saying he initially thought he would remain single, but later found companionship and love with Shawhughes.
In a separate interview, he called the end of his previous marriage deeply painful. He said he vowed to protect his children by keeping details out of the public domain.
About “The Weight” and festival honors
The festival listed The Weight among its premieres, and organizers honored Hawke for his work. The film’s debut at Deauville added a celebratory tone to the family’s appearance.
The Deauville American Film Festival remains an important stage for U.S. cinema in Europe. For Hawke, the event combined professional recognition with a rare, intimate family moment on the red carpet.
