The pair have insisted they will ‘always care’ for each other
A statement from much-loved Mamma Mia actress Meryl, released this morning, read: “Don Gummer and Meryl Streep have been separated for more than six years, and while they will always care for each other, they have chosen lives apart.”
The couple are parents to musician Henry (born 1979), actresses Mamie (born 1983) and Grace (born 1986), and model Louisa (born 1991).
They kept their marriage largely out of the public eye, yet Kentucky-born Don accompanied the actress to many Red Carpet events.
They previously lived together in Connecticut.
Performances notably include Sophie’s Choice, Death Becomes Her, The Devil Wears Prada, Doubt, and The Iron Lady.
