It takes place after Mamma Mia! The Streep star has split from her husband of 45 years, Don Gummer, 76.

In November, they revealed they had been separated for “more than six years” after deciding to “live separately.”

In a statement released Page sixA company spokesperson said the Devil Wears Prada actress and the sculptor “have been separated for over six years and while they will always care for each other, they have chosen to live separately.”

The couple first tied the knot in 1978.

Streep, who attended the Princess of Asturias Awards on Friday, was last seen with Gummer at the 2018 Oscars, according to the outlet.

The former couple first met through Meryl’s brother in 1978 and said “I do” later that year in September during a romantic ceremony in the garden of her parents’ home.

The wedding came six months after her late boyfriend and fellow actor John Cazale died in March 1978 from lung cancer.

A year after his death, Mamma Mia! the star thought about the loss and spoke People at the time: “Death is still very much with me. It forced me to accept my mortality, and once you do that, you look at things differently.”

After his death, the actress had to move out of the apartment she shared with Casale, and she was helped by her brother and one of his friends, who turned out to be Gummer.

Meryl and Don became close, and he subleased his New York City apartment to Meryl while he was away from the Big Apple. The couple began exchanging letters, and soon the friendship developed into something more serious.

During their marriage, Meryl and Gummer, who received a Master of Fine Arts degree from Yale University, had four children, as well as five grandchildren.

Back in 2002, the star openly spoke about her relationship with the artist and said Fashion that the secret to their long-lasting marriage was “good will and a willingness to give in—and shut up from time to time.”

She further explained: “There is no plan of action for starting a family: it’s always a huge negotiation.”

“But I have a holistic need to work and have great bonds of love in my life. I can’t imagine how anyone could give up one for the other.”

Their children also followed in the creative footsteps of their parents, and their son Henry became a musical performer. Louise is best known for her role in the HBO Max series The Gilded Age.

Mamie has also played roles in front of the camera and starred in projects such as Heartburn and Emily Owens, M.D. Grace has appeared in the films Dr. Death, Mr. Robot, and American Horror Story: Freak Show.

Regarding raising children, Streep spoke in an interview with the publication Sydney Morning Herald in 2019, both she and Gummer focused on “teamwork.”

“Teamwork is everything. My husband Don was… very involved. He was a little more relaxed when it came to raising children. I was more of a tiger mom.”

She noted that the actress is “always happy to look after the children” and that she “doesn’t feel so guilty” about being away for long periods of time while working on set.

The couple supported each other’s careers, and Don joined Streep at various awards ceremonies over the years, including the Academy Awards and BAFTAs.

She has received various awards throughout her career, including eight Golden Globes, as well as three Oscars.

In 2012, Meryl mentioned Don at the beginning of her speech after accepting the award for Best Actress for The Iron Lady.

“First of all, I want to thank Don because when you thank your husband at the end of the speech, they play him with music and I want him to know that everything I value most in our lives, you gave me . “, she sweetly expressed, according to People.

In addition to the Connecticut home where the former couple lived and raised their family, they also owned a loft in New York’s Tribeca neighborhood until it sold in 2020 for $15.8 million, per Page Six.
