Ethan Hawke Reaffirms Promise Not to Discuss Uma Thurman Divorce in Public

He says public scrutiny fuels private pain in breakups.

Overview

  • In a Nov. 20 Los Angeles Times interview, Hawke said he will not speak about the 2005 split because he vowed to his children to keep it private.
  • He called the public eye "like gasoline" on divorce and focused on the challenge of guiding children through it.
  • He noted that couples around the world struggle to stay married, offering a broader reflection on relationships rather than specifics about his own.
  • Hawke and Uma Thurman were married from 1998 to 2005 and share two children, Maya and Levon.
  • He later married Ryan Shawhughes in 2008 and they have two daughters, after labeling early-2000s coverage of his breakup "humiliating" in a September GQ U.K. interview.
