Lilo & Stitch Live-Action Star Maia Kealoha, 7, Will Capture Your Heart in Just One Video – E! Online

Allow Maia Kealoha to stitch your heart back together. 

The 7-year-old—who will star in Disney’s forthcoming live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch—is guaranteed to make your heart melt with her adorable poise while attending the Hawaii premiere of Moana 2. 

“My name is Maia Kealoha,” Maia exclusively told E! News on the red carpet at the Moana 2 premiere Nov. 25. “I am 7 years old, and I live in Hawaii.”

And the actress had more than just cuteness to share. She also emphasized how excited she is for fans to watch her make her big-screen debut in Lilo & Stitch, which was directed by Dean Fleischer Camp and is set to hit theaters on May 23, 2025. 

“It’s very fun and amazing,” Maia continued. “I can’t wait you guys to see it. It’s gonna be a blast.”

In fact, she’s particularly excited for viewers to see her, costar Sydney Agudong (who plays Lilo’s sister Nani) and Chris Sanders (who voices Stitch) recreate an emotional moment in a hammock from the original 2002 animated film.
