Meryl Streep and her husband Don Gummer have secretly been separated for six years after getting married in 1978. The news of their separation was confirmed by a spokesperson for Streep, who said that while they still care for each other, they have chosen to live their lives apart.

This revelation may come as a surprise, considering that Streep was recently photographed wearing her wedding band at an awards ceremony. The couple was last seen together at the 2018 Academy Awards.

Streep and Gummer have four children together, as well as five grandchildren. Their son, Henry, is married and has two children, while their daughter Mamie and her husband have two children as well. Their other daughter Grace, who is married to record producer Mark Ronson, recently welcomed their first child. Their youngest daughter Louisa is known for her role in HBO’s “The Gilded Age.”

The couple owned a property in Connecticut and a Tribeca loft in New York City, but they sold the loft in 2020. Streep purchased a property in Pasadena, California later that year.

Streep and Gummer met in 1978, when her brother introduced them. At the time, Streep was mourning the death of her boyfriend and co-star John Cazale. They got married that same year and have kept their relationship private ever since.

When asked about the secret to their long marriage, Streep mentioned “goodwill and readiness to bend and to shut up every once in a while.” She also emphasized the importance of having strong love relationships in her life.

Streep rarely publicly acknowledges her husband, but during her acceptance speech for the Best Actress award at the 2017 Oscars, she thanked him and expressed her gratitude for what he has given her.

The couple has been a fixture at the Oscars, with Streep earning a record 21 nominations and winning three awards.

Overall, Streep and Gummer’s separation after a long and private marriage has surprised many, shedding light on the complexities of relationships in the public eye.
