Ethan Hawke has married his girlfriend and former family nanny, Ryan Shawhughes, the actor’s publicist confirmed on Thursday.

While Hawke’s ex-wife Uma Thurman got engaged last month, the actor married his pregnant girlfriend in New York City, Mara Buxbaum said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.

Buxbaum added that no further details were available.

In June, Hawke and Shawhughes were spotted applying for a marriage licence at New York's Municipal Building.

Shawhughes used to be the nanny of the actor’s two girls with Thurman, Maya Ray, 10, and Levon, 6. Uma Thurman married Ethan Hawke in 1998, after meeting him on the set of “Gattaca,” but she filed for divorce six years later due to rumors of his infidelity. Still, Hawke insisted that his relationship with Shawhughes started to develop only after the divorce from his wife. Their child is expected to be a girl.

In 2006, after his divorce with Uma Thurman was finalized, Hawke said that his children provided the greatest pleasure in his life.

“[Being a father] is the only role that, if I fail, I will consider my life a failure,” he added.

Thurman, 38, is currently engaged to businessman Arpad Busson, the ex of supermodel Elle Macpherson.

Hawke, 37, has received two Oscar nominations, one for adapting the screenplay for “Before Sunset” and the other for his supporting role in “Training Day.” His screen credits include “Great Expectations” and “Dead Poets Society.”
