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.”
Katie Ledecky sets new Olympic swimming record after Team USA wins silver in 4 x 200m freestyle
On Thursday, Katie Ledecky set yet another record when the women’s 4 x 200m freestyle relay team from Team USA took home the silver medal.
With 13 medals, the 27-year-old became the most decorated female swimmer in Olympic history. Her most recent victory ended a tie she had with Dara Torres, Jenny Thompson, and swimmer Natalie Coughlin.
In the demanding 1500m freestyle on Wednesday, the Maryland native claimed her eighth gold medal and her 12th overall. Ledecky tied Thompson for the most gold medals won by a female swimmer in Olympic history when she completed the event in an Olympic record time of 15:30.02.
Ledecky told reporters that she allowed her thoughts to roam and considered all the people who had contributed to her current situation as she was swimming.
“And during the race, I kind of let my mind wander, remembering everyone who has trained with me.” Was like thinking about them and chanting their names in my brain. I love you guys, my Florida crew—all those Florida boys who challenged me every day. I know I often make your life difficult, but you guys really made my life easy today. I really appreciate it.
The 27-year-old swimmer had another opportunity to increase her medal total on Thursday.
Ledecky, Claire Weinstein, Paige Madden, and Erin Gemmell represented Team USA in the 4 × 200m freestyle relay, finishing second behind Australia.
Ledecky became the most decorated American woman in Olympic history and the most decorated woman of any nation in swimming history with the team’s victory, which brought her 13 medals overall. She is only ahead of Michael Phelps, who has 28 medals.
Ledecky has one more chance to increase her medal total as swimming draws to a close. On Saturday, she’ll participate in the 800m freestyle.
Ledecky intends to qualify for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, despite the fact that this is her fourth Olympics overall, in Paris.
“Yes, my statement that I would love to compete in Los Angeles hasn’t changed over the last few months or years has been consistent.”
Katie, congratulations! You are history’s greatest.
