Meryl Streep unexpectedly announces separation from her husband. The actress’ spokesperson reveals details.
For 45 years, Meryl Streep and her husband Don Gummer were considered Hollywood’s dream couple. But now their love seems to be finally over. The 74-year-old surprisingly announced her separation. They have been going their separate ways for several years.
“Don Gummer and Meryl Streep have been separated for more than six years, and although they will always care for each other, they have chosen to live separate lives,” a spokesperson for the actress told Page Six. Fans of the actress might be surprised. She is said to have recently appeared at a public event wearing her wedding ring. The last appearance together was at the Oscars 2018.
The actress and the sculptor met in 1978 through her brother, who introduced the two of them to each other. At the time, Gummer was a great source of support as the actress mourned the death of her boyfriend and actor John Cazale, who died of lung cancer.
Meryl Streep and Don Gummer have four adult children and five grandchildren. In addition to their Connecticut farm, they shared a sprawling loft in Tribeca, New York City, before selling it for $15.8 million in January 2020. Streep then purchased a four million dollar home in Pasadena, California in July 2020.
The actress made her breakthrough with the television series “Holocaust” and the cinema production “Kramer gegen Kramer”. The three-time Oscar winner celebrated internationally with the film “The Devil Shapes Prada”, in which she played editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, who made her assistant’s life hell.
