In October 2023, Pvnew broke the news that the proud parents had been separated for more than six years.
Although Streep has yet to address the split directly, her rep told us at the time that she and Gummer “will always care for each other” but “have chosen lives apart.”
Get to know the former couple’s kids below.
Henry Wolfe Gummer
Streep gave birth to her baby boy in November 1979.
While Henry appeared to be following in his mom’s acting footsteps when he enrolled in New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, he dropped out after two years.
Instead, Henry has pursued a music and had songs featured in the soundtracks to two of his mom’s movies, “Ricki and the Flash” and “Julie & Julia.”
Henry called Streep’s fame a hindrance to his success in a New York Daily News interview (via People), explaining, “The fact that my mom is who she is can be overshadowing. … I wish I had something that could eclipse that.”
As for his love life, he has been married to Tamryn Gummer since 2019.
The duo have given Streep and Don two grandchildren: daughter Ida and son Quinn, born in 2020 and 2022, respectively.
Mary Willa “Mamie” Gummer
In August 1983, Henry became a big brother when Mamie joined the family.
Streep’s second child is an actress, and the mother-daughter pair co-starred in “Ricki and the Flash” in 2015.
They also shared the screen for Mamie’s first role in “Heartburn” as a toddler, and she has gone on to appear in “The Good Wife,” “True Detective” and more shows.
Mamie was married to actor Ben Walker from 2011 to 2013, and she went on to wed writer Mehar Sethi in 2019.
Ahead of their nuptials, the duo made Streep a grandmother when they welcomed a son, whose name they have yet to reveal.
Mamie and Sethi made a rare red carpet appearance as a family in April 2024 and seemingly confirmed that they also share a daughter.
Grace Jane Gummer
Streep and Don welcomed baby No. 3, daughter Grace, in May 1986.
The Vassar College grad, who has degrees in art history and Italian, has dabbled in acting over the years with small roles in “American Horror Story” and other projects.
In July 2019, Grace and musician Tay Strathairn walked down the aisle — only to separate the following month and divorce in 2020.
She moved on with Mark Ronson later that same year following the DJ’s split from wife Joséphine de La Baume.
The couple tied the knot in September 2021 in New York, with Ronson calling his wife his “best friend” via Instagram on their first anniversary.
They welcomed their first child in 2023.
Louisa Jacobson Gummer
Louisa completed Streep and Don’s family in June 1991.
Like Grace, she graduated from Vassar College, where she studied psychology before going on to get a fine arts master’s degree in acting from the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale University.
The actress, who also attended the British American Drama Academy, has starred in “The Gilded Age” since 2022.
In June 2024, she came out as queer in an Instagram post.
