Everything we know about Christian Lee Hutson, who married 'Stranger Things' star Maya Hawke in surprise Valentine's Day wedding

Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson. Bruce Glikas/WireImage/Getty Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson got married on Saturday. The "Stranger Things" star and musician had been linked for years. Hutson is known for his folk music, which is produced by Grammy-winner Phoebe Bridgers. Love was certainly in the air this Valentine's Day as "Stranger Things" star Maya Hawke married musician Christian Lee Hutson on Saturday. The duo tied the knot at St. George's Episcopal Church in New York City. Guests included Hawke's celebrity parents, Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, and Maya's fellow "Stranger Things" stars, including Sadie Sink, Finn Wolfhard, Caleb McLaughlin, Joe Keery, Gaten Matarazzo, and Natalie Dyer, according to People. Hawke, 27, and Hutson, 35, were first sighted together in 2023. The two have since collaborated on music projects, including Hawke's second studio album "Moss," and she sings on Hutson's latest album "Paradise Pop. 10." Here's everything we know about Christian Lee Hutson Hutson found his groove after teaming with a Grammy-winner. Christian Lee Hutson. Rebecca Sapp/Getty Images for The Recording Academy Hutson was born in Kansas City, Missouri, but was raised in Los Angeles, where he's lived since he was 5. He began playing guitar at 12 and was influenced by Hank Williams and Elliott Smith. Hutson forged a country-folk sound in the early 2010s while part of The Driftwood Singers, a group composed of students from the California Institute of the Arts. He then went solo and released two albums that didn't get much attention. Then everything changed in 2018 when he met Phoebe Bridgers. The Grammy-winner has since been Hutson's producer and main collaborator, which led to his first major album, 2020's "Beginners," and follow-ups "Quitters" in 2022 and "Paradise Pop. 10," in 2024, which Hawke is featured on.

Noam Galai/Getty Images The couple was first seen together in December 2023, but they had already collaborated musically for years prior. Hutson wrote on Hawke's second album, "Moss" (2022). The "Inside Out 2" star talked about working with Hutson in a 2021 Interview Magazine chat with Margaret Qualley. "And I sent him some poems, and he sent me back some unbelievable songs," Hawke said. The two have since collaborated on Hawke's 2024 album "Chaos Angel," Hutson's latest album "Paradise Pop. 10," and performed live together. The couple became red carpet official in April 2025 when they smiled for cameras at the opening night of "John Proctor Is the Villain," which starred Hawke's "Stranger Things" castmate, Sadie Sink. A week later, Hawke was seen wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring on her ring finger, according to People. Read the original article on Business Insider

Miami is not the next Silicon Valley. It's something much weirder.
BusinessBusiness Insider3mo ago

Miami is not the next Silicon Valley. It's something much weirder.

Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images; Getty Images; Rebecca Zisser/BI Tech's elite are taking their talents to South Beach — again. In January, David Sacks, the venture capitalist and crypto and AI czar, proclaimed that Miami will soon replace New York City as America's financial capital. Stripe's Patrick Collison has been marveling at the city's "boomtown" vibes. With California flirting with a one-time tax on billionaires, said billionaires like Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Mark Zuckerberg are buying oceanfront mansions. And on Tuesday, Palantir announced that it's moving its headquarters from Denver to Miami. Is Miami the next Silicon Valley? We've been here before. The pandemic sent waves of coastal workers to the city, turning it into a Zoomtown full of online venture capitalists like Keith Rabois and Delian Asparouhov, bitcoin bull runners, and purveyors of the finest NFTs. Billboards went up in San Francisco featuring a mock tweet from then-Miami mayor Francis Suarez: "Thinking about moving to Miami? DM me." Here's the thing: It's easy to fall for Miami when a big chunk of the workforce is stuck at home and online. Five years later, it's a lot harder to build companies there. "Miami is great three months out of the year," says one prominent venture capitalist who moved to the city during the pandemic but is now returning to an established hub. While the Floridian tax benefits are real, the investor has found that the social scene hollows out in the summer as residents leave, making it "hard to build roots or have reliable friends." More critically for the startup ecosystem, the scene lacked the "hustle" of San Francisco or New York. Silicon Valley practically runs on a conveyor belt from Stanford and Caltech to Y Combinator's Dogpatch offices. The machine turns students into founders, builders into companies, and companies into the next wave of founders. Miami, meanwhile, lacks a major university to pipe in tech talent. Instead, the investor says, the city tends to attract people who have already "made it." Miami and Fort Lauderdale-based startups raised $3 billion in 2025. Bay Area-based startups raised $177 billion. The Miami market, while busy, significantly lags behind the major hubs. Startups in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale metro raised about $3 billion in 2025, per PitchBook, down from $8.6 billion in 2022, when money and crypto sloshed about. The Bay Area, by contrast, still grabs 52% of the nation's venture funding, with $177 billion in capital pouring in last year. Alligators may be all around in Miami, but unicorns are hard to find. In January, Cast AI, a startup that helps companies cut cloud costs, crossed the $1 billion valuation mark, becoming the region's first homegrown unicorn in years. Before that, Adam Neumann, the ousted WeWork cofounder, debuted his Miami residential real-estate venture, Flow, at a $1 billion valuation in 2022. Even Garry Tan, the Y Combinator president and gadfly who's usually first in line to dunk on San Francisco's politics, has been blunt about where the breeding grounds are best. Tan recently said on X that the accelerator still hasn't opened offices outside the Bay Area because founders are simply more likely to build unicorns there. According to a Business Insider analysis of Crunchbase data, of the at least 97 new unicorns that investors minted in 2025, 43 of them were based in the Bay Area. But those who dismiss the city entirely miss the point. Miami isn't the next San Francisco. It's establishing itself as something else. Patrick Murphy, a former Florida congressman and entrepreneur, says that Miami's tech scene is growing, it's just being built in "reverse order." Silicon Valley, he says, emerged from an if you build it, they will come approach: Engineers built great companies first, which eventually created fortunes that cycled back into the community to fund the next generation of companies. Miami, however, has a more if you come, they will build it tact. It's attracted the "wealth achievers" first — the family offices, private equity names, and already-successful founders who emigrated for lifestyle reasons. Finance heavyweights like Citadel and Thoma Bravo arrived early. Vanguard, one of the world's largest asset managers, is eyeing an expansion in Miami as it targets more Latin American wealth. The city is now importing the machinery that follows them. Legal, accounting, and consulting firms are opening local offices to stay close to clients — and scoop up star talent that no longer needs to live near HQ. This dynamic has established Miami as a "control center" for decision-makers, Murphy argues, but not yet the "factory floor" where the actual work gets done. Murphy says that despite running a successful construction-tech startup, Togal.AI, his engineering team has been offshore from the beginning because the local talent pool simply "didn't exist" when he started in 2019. "If you go to Miami, you're not going to see dozens of engineers at a Starbucks cranking away," he says. "That's not here yet." Still, Miami's flood of wealth is creating demand for startups built on the city's local economy, especially in property tech and fintech, Murphy says. Togal.AI's annual recurring revenue has grown 1,000% over the past two years, Murphy says, and is now raising fresh venture funding in order to hire dozens of new employees this year. Palantir's move immediately became a kind of Rorschach test for Miami's future. "Florida is the new crypto," one user wrote on X. Maya Bakhai, a Fort Lauderdale resident and founder of the early-stage venture firm Spice Capital, tells me that the city will flourish alongside "net new" industries that are still taking shape and where the center of gravity isn't locked in yet. Crypto firms like MoonPay and QuickNode still treat South Florida as a home base, she notes. A new space-tech accelerator backed by the state is trying to persuade founders to stick around by pairing them with funders. Bakhai's bigger bet is that just as New York became the hub for e-commerce, Miami could become the place where creator businesses get built. Research out of the University of Hong Kong found Miami has more top influencers per capita than New York or Los Angeles. And then there's Palantir, the strongest signal flare yet that tech is taking America's Playground seriously. It's hard to know what the data giant's HQ move will mean in practice — Palantir hasn't said how many employees it plans to relocate, or whether it will offer moving packages to lure talent south. The company did not respond to an email request for comment. If Palantir does move a meaningful slice of its workforce, it would give Miami something it's been short on: a marquee tech employer that can recruit and keep technical workers on the ground year-round. On X, Palantir's move immediately became a kind of Rorschach test for Miami's future. ""Florida is the future," cheered Andreessen Horowitz investor Katherine Boyle. Others were less convinced. "Florida is the new crypto," one user wrote. "For the next 20 years, nothing will change, but they will always tell you 'big things are happening in Florida.'" Turning Miami into Silicon Beach is a long game, Bakhai argues. It won't be built by the billionaires buying houses to snowbird in today, she argues, but by the young strivers arriving for their first serious jobs — the entry-level analysts heading to Citadel and the junior lawyers starting at firms like Orrick. For the first time, she says, ambitious graduates can launch careers in Miami instead of treating New York or San Francisco as the default. The payoff, she says, comes years later, when they eventually spin off to start their own companies. Until then, Miami remains largely a playground for the "made it" crowd, waiting in the sun for the builders to come.

'America's Next Top Model' star Jay Manuel says he asked to be excused from the infamous race-swapping photo shoot, but was denied

Tyra Banks and Jay Manuel at the finale party for "America's Next Top Model" season two. Gregg DeGuire/WireImage Netflix's new three-part docuseries explores the legacy of "America's Next Top Model." One of the show's stars, Jay Manuel, says he objected to season four's race-swapping photo shoot. Tyra Banks says she didn't think it was controversial because she was in her "own little bubble." In a new documentary, Tyra Banks responds to criticism of "America's Next Top Model" with a familiar refrain: "Hindsight is 20/20." But for her former costar, Jay Manuel, one controversial moment was troubling from the start. Netflix's three-part documentary "Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model" explores the TV show's legacy, from its peak popularity in the early aughts to the divisive reactions from current viewers. Perhaps the most infamous photo shoot in "Top Model" history aired in 2005, when the season four contestants were told by Manuel, "We're actually going to switch your ethnicities." Several of the models' faces and bodies were painted with dark makeup: Christina Murphy, Brittany Brower, and Noelle Staggers were assigned the roles of "East Indian," "African American," and "traditionally African woman," respectively. "The challenge here really is taking on the persona of that other ethnicity while in the photograph, and owning it," Manuel tells the models in the episode. Brittany Brower in season four of "America's Next Top Model." UPN/Amazon Prime Many viewers and critics have since condemned the photo shoot as blackface, an offensive practice that dates back to racist minstrel shows in the 1830s. In the documentary, Manuel says he was uncomfortable with the concept from the start, especially given his family's history with racial segregation. "The shoot that I had the most difficult time with was this race-swapping shoot. My parents are from South Africa. They grew up during apartheid. I am very aware of that history," he tells the camera. However, he says his objections were brushed off by Banks. "I first asked to be excused from the photo shoot," Manuel continues. "And Tyra said to me, 'I will handle this on camera with the girls at judging, just go and do your job.' I recognized that my role was starting to have limitations. That shoot was happening regardless." The documentary includes clips from the episode, including several of Manuel, who was billed as the "art director of photo shoots," coaching the models behind the camera. "If you really look for it, you can see it on my face. Especially the setup for the day, where I tell the girls what we're doing. I could tell I was just, like, double swallowing," he recalls. "But I just had to do my job." Tyra Banks says she didn't anticipate backlash to the race-swapping photo shoot Tyra Banks and her fellow judges on season four, episode five of "America's Next Top Model." UPN/Amazon Prime Banks, who created "Top Model" and hosted the reality show for 12 years, says she "didn't think it was controversial" at the time to paint the models' skin. "I was in my own little bubble, in my own little head, that this was my way of showing the world that brown and Black is beautiful," she says in the documentary. "But then we put it out there, and the world was like, 'Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind?'" "Looking at the show now, through the 2020 lens, it's an issue, and I understand 100% why," Banks adds. "Top Model" became a surprise hit for UPN when it premiered in 2003. Banks worked with producer Ken Mok to develop a competition show that blended the performative elements of "American Idol" with the behind-the-scenes drama of "The Real World." It made for irresistible TV, and "Top Model" drew millions of viewers. However, Banks and Manuel both recall pressure to pump up the drama on "Top Model" as its audience continued to grow. "It was a time in the world where there was a show, 'Fear Factor,' and 'Survivor,' and all of these things of, like, pushing the limits and all of that," Banks says. "And so we kept pushing, and we kept creating more and more and more. You guys were demanding it." Dawn Ostroff, then-president of UPN, says there was a constant push to raise the stakes, even as contestants were having emotional breakdowns or health emergencies on camera. Season three contestant Rebecca Epley fainted in the middle of judging, for example, and season seven winner CariDee English developed hypothermia during a photo shoot in a swimming pool. "How do you get that, 'I can't believe they're doing that' moment again? You have to keep one-upping yourself," she says in the documentary. "I never thought about, you know, 'Can we air it? Can't we air it?' Good television is good television." Nicole Fox on season 13, episode nine of "America's Next Top Model." The CW/Amazon Prime Although Manuel was originally cast as a creative director and occasional judge, he says the content of the challenges and photo shoots was largely out of his control, especially as the show got bigger. Eventually, his role was narrowed to "on-camera talent." "There was a time when the creative of the show started to shift. We were supposed to be showing the behind-the-scenes of what the fashion world was, helping change the industry. But the show had evolved in a way I'd never expected," Manuel says. "I really struggled over some of the things that happened. And that was something that was slowly depleting me, chipping away at my soul." He adds, "Tyra would always reinforce, 'We need to keep it entertaining. We need to keep people watching.'" In "Top Model" season 13, which aired on The CW in 2009, the models were tasked with yet another race-swapping shoot. This time, Banks was the photographer. Representatives for Ostroff and Banks did not respond to requests for comment from Business Insider. Read the original article on Business Insider
