Meryl Streep’s publicist has confirmed that she and her husband Don Gummer have been separated for over six years. The award-winning actress and the American sculptor had been married since 1978. Streep and Gummer have four children, including daughters Mamie Gummer, Grace Gummer, and Louisa Gummer, who are all involved in acting, and son Henry Wolfe Gummer.
Streep, known for her roles in movies like “Kramer Vs Kramer,” “Sophie’s Choice,” and “The Iron Lady,” has recently appeared in projects such as the comedy series “Only Murders In The Building,” the drama “Let Them All Talk,” and the Netflix satire “Don’t Look Up.” She has received 21 Academy Award nominations and has won three Oscars.
In her Oscar acceptance speech for “The Iron Lady,” Streep expressed 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.”
My Brother Kept Insulting My Husband for Being “Just an Electrician”, I Wanted to Teach Him a Lesson, but Karma Did It Better
Growing up, my brother and I couldn’t be more different. Even though we were born into a family of successful professionals, our personalities and paths diverged. While I ended up marrying a successful electrician, my brother, Jack, never quite shook off his lawyer persona.
Our upbringing was comfortable, thanks to our hardworking parents. Dad ran his own business, and Mom was a brain surgeon. But Jack always had a knack for flaunting his wealth, despite never making the effort to start his own law firm.
In contrast, I preferred a more low-key lifestyle, running my own successful business. My husband, Mark, was the real success story, though. He was not just an electrician but a savvy businessman who had attended business school to turn his skills into a thriving enterprise.
Despite our success, we kept our wealth private and lived modestly. Mark was particularly generous, channeling a significant portion of his income into charity and investments.
Our family dynamics came to a head one day when Jack couldn’t resist bragging about his lavish lifestyle and poking fun at Mark’s profession. It was the final straw for me, but before I could teach him a lesson, karma stepped in.
During a family barbecue, Jack’s beloved Porsche was repossessed, revealing his financial downfall. He had lost his job and was struggling to make ends meet. It was a humbling experience for him, and he realized the value of hard work and humility.
In the end, Mark offered Jack a job at his business, teaching him the value of honest work. Jack accepted the offer, and with time, he transformed into a better person, leaving behind his arrogant ways.
Life has a funny way of teaching us lessons when we least expect it. Jack’s downfall was a wake-up call for him, and with the support of our family, he was able to turn his life around for the better.
