New York, October 22, 2023 – In a surprising turn of events, acclaimed actress Meryl Streep and her husband, sculptor Don Gummer, have officially confirmed their separation after 45 years of marriage. The news was shared by a representative for Streep in a statement to People on a Saturday, shedding light on their decision to live separate lives while maintaining mutual care and respect.
The couple, who first exchanged vows in 1978, have been living apart for over six years. This revelation comes just a month after they celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary, marking a significant milestone in their relationship.
Throughout their marriage, Streep and Gummer have been notoriously private about their personal lives, rarely allowing the public and the media to glimpse into their relationship. The decision to confirm their separation publicly has sparked interest and raised questions about their reasons for parting ways.
There is no definitive guide for how to raise a family; it is always a difficult negotiation, Streep said in an interview with Vogue in 2002. However, I have a strong urge to work and be really loved in my life. I find it impossible to choose one over the other.
During her 2012 best actress Oscar acceptance speech for her role in “The Iron Lady,” Streep expressed her gratitude to Gummer, saying, “First, I’m going to thank Don because when you thank your husband at the end of the speech, they play him out with the music, and I want him to know that everything I value most in our lives, you’ve given me.”
The couple shares four adult children: a son, Henry, and three daughters, Mamie, Grace, and Louisa.
The announcement of their separation has left fans and the public curious about the reasons behind this significant decision. Despite living apart, it is evident that Streep and Gummer maintain a deep and caring bond, which will undoubtedly continue to be a source of intrigue and admiration for their fans and followers.
