00:00 It looks like Meryl Streep and Don Gummer have been living separate lives for quite
00:05 some time.
00:06 The three-time Oscar winner and her longtime love have called it quits following decades
00:11 of marriage.
00:12 Meryl's rep told multiple publications, "Don Gummer and Meryl Streep have been separated
00:18 for more than six years, and while they will always care for each other, they have chosen
00:23 lives apart."
00:24 The actress' rep shared in a statement to People.
00:28 That news comes just weeks after the pair's 45th wedding anniversary.
00:33 The two tied the knot back on Sept. 30, 1978, and went on to welcome four kids together
00:39 — son Henry and daughters Mamie, Grace and Louisa.
00:44 The actress and the sculptor were last seen out publicly together at the 2018 Oscars.
00:50 It's really no surprise the public is now just hearing about their separation.
00:54 The two kept their romance mainly out of the spotlight over the years.
00:58 But during a 2002 interview with Vogue, Meryl shared that the secret to their relationship
01:03 was "goodwill and willingness to bend, and to shut up every once in a while."
01:09 "There's no roadmap on how to raise a family.
01:13 It's always an enormous negotiation.
01:15 But I have a holistic need to work and to have huge ties of love in my life.
01:20 I can't imagine eschewing one or the other."
01:23 She added, "Half the time."
01:45 (upbeat music)
