Meryl Streep and husband of 45 years, Don Gummer, have revealed they’ve been separated ‘for more than six years’ after deciding to have ‘lives apart.’
In a statement shared to Page Six, a spokesperson expressed that The Devil Wears Prada actress, 74, and the sculptor, 76, ‘have been separated for more than 6 years, and while they will always care for each other, they have chosen lives apart.’
