Meryl Streep and Don Gummer separate after 45 years of marriage | Onmanorama
Meryl Streep and her husband, Don Gummer, have been living separately for over six years, as confirmed by a representative for Streep in a statement to People. This marks a significant development in their long-term marriage, which began in 1978 and recently celebrated its 45th anniversary. The couple, despite their separation, maintains care and respect for each other.
Throughout their marriage, Streep and Gummer largely kept their personal lives out of the public eye, attending events together but avoiding the media spotlight. The couple has four adult children – a son, Henry, and three daughters, Mamie, Grace, and Louisa.
Meryl Streep, a three-time Oscar winner, paid tribute to her husband during her 2012 best actress Oscar acceptance speech for her role in “The Iron Lady.” She expressed her gratitude to Gummer for the love and support he provided throughout their lives together.
The news of their separation underscores the complexities of balancing family and career in the world of entertainment. Streep, in a 2002 interview with Vogue, discussed the challenges of juggling a career with a need for profound emotional connections in her life, emphasizing the difficulty of finding the right balance.
CNN reached out to the actor’s publicist for additional comments on this matter, suggesting that this development has sparked public interest and discussion.
