The Mamma Mia! star tied the knot with Don Gummer in 1978 and announced last year that they had been separated for more than six years
The Devil Wears Prada actress and the accomplished sculptor tied the knot in 1978 before welcoming their four children—singer-songwriter Henry Wolfe, actresses Mamie Gummer, Grace Gummer, and Louisa.
The Oscar winner once joked about how parenting is the hardest role she has to play.
“Mothering. Definitely. Acting — that’s praise, money, fulfillment,” she was quoted telling The Washington Post in 1998. “Mothering — they don’t even say, ‘Thank you.’ There’s no comparison to acting. I can’t really call acting work, since it’s secretly so fun.”
The award-winning actress is a mother to four children, Henry Wolfe, Mamie Gummer, Grace Gummer, and Louisa Jacobson
After 45 years of marriage, the Mamma Mia! star announced that she and Don had put an end to their marriage but noted that they will always care for each other.
“Don Gummer and Meryl Streep have been separated for more than 6 years, and while they will always care for each other, they have chosen lives apart,” read a statement published by Page Six in October, 2023.
