MERYL STREEP AND DON GUMMER – 42 YEARS

The Devil Wears Prada superstar Meryl Streep is phenomenal for her acting performances which earned her the most number of Oscar nominations than anyone in the industry. Thus, she has been hailed as “best actress of her generation”, but she also bested the heart of sculptor Don Gummer. The couple met in 1978, got married, and raised four children. Two of their daughters, Mary and Grace, also entered show business to follow the footsteps of their actress mother.

In 1985, the family had an investment in a private estate in Connecticut with an extensive art studio to facilitate Gummer’s work. This just proves that their support of each other’s work and passion is a key factor of their lasting marriage of 42 years! “I want you to know that everything I value most in life you’ve given me.” Meryl said, thanking her husband, Don, at the 2012 Best Actress Oscar ceremony for ‘The Iron Lady.’
