The popular actor Ethan Hawke has two well-known daughters who have become the most famous among his four children. These daughters are Indiana and Clementine Jane Hawke who he had from his union with his wife Ryan Shawhughes. He had Clementine Jane who is currently 16 years old on the 8th day of July 2008 and her younger sister Indiana Jane Hawke who is 13 years old a few years later on the 23rd day of July 2011.
The actor who has been active in Hollywood for close to four decades was not very open about his personal life until his second effort at matrimony. His daughters Indiana and Clementine who are also products of his second marriage have become well known and loved by the media with his fans very eager to know everything about them and what their life is like.
Ethan Hawke’s Daughters Clementine Jane And Indiana Were Born By His Second Wife
It is no secret that Indiana and Clementine Jane who are the most famous among Hawke’s children are the products of his second marriage to film producer and actress Ryan Shawhughes. This does not mean he had no children with his first wife Uma Thurman, but their personal life and that of their children was not nearly as publicized as his second marriage.
Ryan allegedly met the father of her daughters in 2004 when he employed her as a nanny to his first two children with ex-wife, Uma Thurman.
If the media reports are to be believed, the general public blamed Ryan for the breakup of the actor’s first marriage but he defended her resolutely, and after his divorce was finalized in 2005, they carried on with their relationship in public until Ryan became pregnant with Clementine. They sealed their love at the altar in June 2008 and went ahead to welcome two daughters. Here’s what we know about them.
Clementine Jane Hawke Was born About A Month After Her Parents’ Wedding
- Date of birth: July 8, 2008
- Age: 16 Years Old
- Mother: Ryan Shawhughe-Hawke
Hawke’s first daughter with Ryan came along barely a few months after their wedding on the 7th day of July 2008, in New York City, United States. They named her Clementine Jane Hawke because her birth sign is Cancer and she is an American citizen by birth. Nonetheless, there is more to her ancestry besides being a Caucasian American because of her Scottish, Northern Irish, Cornish, and German roots.
Clementine is currently 16 years old and it is a well-established fact that her parents have kept details of her personal life away from the media and the general public. However, she is often seen out and about with her father. For instance, at the 2021 36th Santa Barbara International Film Festival where he presented the Montecito award to actress Amanda Seyfried. Only time will tell if Clementine will follow in her father’s footsteps but she has all the time in the world to make that decision.
Indiana Hawke Is The Youngest Of Ethan Hawke’s Four Children
- Date of birth: July 23, 2011
- Age: 13 Years Old
- Mother: Ryan Shawhughes-Hawke
Born on July 23, 2011, just over three years after Clementine was born, Indiana Hawke is not just Ethan Hawke’s youngest child with his second wife, she is also the youngest of the actor’s four children. Being born in July is a trait Indiana shares with her two big sisters.
Even though her parents have done their best to shield her from public scrutiny, she has had brief glimpses of what it feels like to be in the spotlight particularly during the 2020 pandemic as she was featured in a family sing-along that had her father, older brother, and two older sisters alongside.
Clementine Jane Hawke Is Not Ethan Hawke’s First Daughter
Before the birth of Clementine and Indiana, Ethan Hawke had a daughter with his first wife Uma Thurman who they named Maya. So even though Clementine Jane Hawke is undisputedly her father’s first daughter with his second wife, she is not the first of her father’s three daughters.
Hawke and Uma welcomed Maya Hawke into the world on the 8th day of July, 1998. This makes her many years older than Clementine and Indiana who she helped to babysit. Maya is currently one of Hawke’s two children who has followed in the footsteps of the actor.
She has been active in Hollywood since 2017, after dropping out of Julliard to accept her role as Jo March in the 2017 BBC adaptation of Little Women. Since then she has appeared in more than a dozen movies and TV series projects. She is also a musician who has released a couple of music videos including Blue Hippo and Sweet Tooth.
