Publish date: 2024-05-22

In February, Daily Mail snapped Maya Hawke out and about in NYC with boyfriend Spencer Barnett. The two reportedly met through Maya's brother, Levan Hawke, who is friends with Spencer. While Maya is the daughter of acting royalty — her parents are Academy Award–nominated actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman — Spencer's parents are famous, too. Per Daily Mail, he is the son of ex-Manhattan district attorney Sloan Barnett and Shaklee Corporation CEO Roger Barnett.

But Spencer and Maya's similarities don't just end with their famous families. Both of them are also musicians, with Maya having debuted an NSFW music video as recently as July. Per J-14, Spencer found a famous mentor in Third Eye Blind's lead singer, Stephen Jenkins. Inspired by indie-alt artists like Bon Iver and Death Cab for Cutie, he dropped his single "Whatever" in 2017, following up with a debut EP in 2019, and a single called "Dancing" in 2021.

"I like to think of my music as psychedelic pop — a blend of indie, rock, and pop elements," he told Beyond The Stage Magazine. "I don't like to adhere to any single classic 'genre' in my music, but instead have a variety of different feels." Spencer also told Rain-Mag that music has long been a staple in his life. "I wrote my first song when I was 13 ... Music became the forefront of my life around the time I was 14," he said.
