Iconic actress, Meryl Streep has divorced with her husband, Don Gummer, and finished their marriage of 45 years.
She had stated that they were living apart from each other for more than six years, but they will keep their attention and care for each other until the end.

The couple had married back in 1978, together they had four children in their marriage. Henry, 43, Mamie, 40, Grace, 37, and Louisa Jacobson, 30.
They had married, when Streep’s longtime boyfriend had lost his life, John Cazale, in 1978. “The death is still very much with me. It has forced me to confront my own mortality, and once you do that, you look at things differently.” Legendary actress had stated after losing him.
When it was 2002, Streeh had said in an interview, about the secret of their long marriage, “goodwill and willingness to bend – and to shut up every once in a while.”
“There’s no road map on how to raise a family: It’s always an enormous negotiation.”
“But I have a holistic need to work and to have huge ties of love in my life. I can’t imagine eschewing one for the other.”
About raising their children together in their long marriage, She had said in an interview with Sydney Morning Herald to, “Teamwork is everything. My husband Don was…very involved. He was a little more relaxed when it comes to raising kids. I was more of a tiger mom.”
She had added that they were, “always happy to look after the children”, and she stated that there are not guilt in her when she needed to stay away from them, while she was working on movies.
In her acceptance speech of Best Actress, back in 2012, she had stated, “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”
