After being married in 1978, Meryl Streep and her husband Don Gummer have been discreetly separated for the past six years. The renowned sculptor, 76, and the Oscar winner, 74, have not been together for over six years.
In an interview with a media outlet, the adored actor said, “Don Gummer and Meryl Streep have been separated for more than six years, and while they will always care for each other, they have chosen lives apart.”
Given that the actress was spotted at the Princesa de Asturias Awards 2023 on Saturday with her wedding band on, the news could come as a surprise. The last time they were seen together was at the Academy Awards in 2018.
At their Connecticut residence in the sleepy, historic town of Salisbury, the couple raised four children: actresses Mamie Gummer, 40, Grace Gummer, 37, and Louisa Jacobson, 30, as well as singer-songwriter Henry Wolfe, 43.
In addition, they have five grandkids. Henry, their son, has two children and is wed to Tamryn Storm Hawker. Mamie has two kids with her spouse, Mehar Sethi.
Grace Ronson, a record producer, and her spouse welcomed their first kid lately. Conversely, Louisa’s most well-known role comes from her lead role in HBO’s “The Gilded Age.”
Along with their Connecticut property, the couple shared a huge Tribeca loft in New York City until January 2020, when they sold it for USD 15.8 million. In July 2020, Streep purchased a USD 4 million property in Pasadena, California.
Her brother, Harry, originally introduced Streep and Gummer in 1978. At the time, the actress was dealing with the death of her late boyfriend and ‘Deer Hunter’ co-star John Cazale, who died of lung cancer that year.
Streep and Gummer married that same year and have kept their relationship private ever since, as per the media outlet.
