In the show, she portrays the co-worker of lead character Steve Harington who works at Scoops Ahoy in seasons three and four. Her character eventually gained a lot of attention and appraisal from the fans.

Seeing her portray her character so splendidly made fans believe that she was into girls in real life. However, the daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke is straight and has been seen dating male stars in the past as well.

Maya Hawke is reportedly in a relationship with her boyfriend, Spencer Barnett. Hawke's boyfriend is the son of Shaklee Corporation CEO Roger Barnett and former Manhattan district attorney Sloan Barnett.

The couple has been together since early 2022 and met through the actress's brother, as per reports. Neither Maya nor Spencer has addressed the dating rumors yet, but they have not denied it either.

Spencer and Maya were spotted together taking a stroll in New York City by paparazzi, which caused speculations of the youngsters being in a relationship.

They were again seen together on Valentine's day with some PDA involved which confirmed the rumors.

Maya Hawke has had her fair share of relationships, and her dating life has been eventful in her 23 years.

She was rumored to be dating a man who goes by the name Gus Wenner in mid-2018. There were multiple news reports about this relationship, but the actress kept it quiet.

Maya is not one to be open about her relationship with the media and the public. Hence, her relationship with Gus started and ended away from the eyes of the people.

Being the daughter of Hollywood's big names like Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke and the fame her acting career brought her, all eyes were on her.

In 2020, her name was again linked with another actor named Tom Sturridge as they were seen in the Hamptons together. What fueled the rumors were pictures of the couple walking together in New York City spotted kissing each other.

After the pictures went viral, the young actress saw the English actor sometime in late 2021 and never again.

It was speculated that the two broke up behind the scenes, and in early 2022, her present boyfriend Spencer made it into the scene.
