FORGING entertainment careers of their own, Meryl Streep’s children have decided to follow in their famous mother’s footsteps.
The Mamma Mia! star’s kids have also made her a grandmother.
Who are Meryl Streep’s children?
From her marriage to Don Gummer, Meryl Streep has four children.
She and Don have three daughters named Mamie, Grace, and Louisa, and a son Henry.
Regarding her life as a working mother, Meryl admitted to the Huffington Post: “There are lots of women who have done just as much with fewer advantages than I’ve enjoyed.
“I will always admit that I was lucky that I married a good man, because that made it so much easier to be able to work, even though I would take my children on the set with me when they were very young.
“I was also careful to choose films that didn’t take me away from my family for more than two weeks at a time because I missed them terribly and I would be miserable without them.”
Henry Wolfe
Henry Wolfe Gummer is the eldest of Meryl and Don’s four children.
Born on November 13, 1979, Henry is also an actor and musician.
In 2009, he released his debut solo EP The Blue House, and has gone on to release several more projects.
Henry’s music even appeared in the soundtracks for his mother’s movies Julie and Julia and Ricki and the Flash.
As an actor, he’s had roles in The Good Shepherd, The Wait, and Lying.
From his marriage to Tamryn Hawker, Henry has two children; a daughter Ida, and a son named Quinn.
Mamie Gummer
Born on August 3, 1983, Mamie Gummer is the second eldest and first daughter of Meryl and Don’s kids.
Similar to her mother and older brother, Mamie is also an actor.
She’s acted alongside Meryl in Heartburn, The Devil Wears Prada, and Ricki and the Flash.
From her second marriage to Mehar Sethi, Mamie has two children.
Grace Gummer
Born on May 9, 1986, Grace Gummer is an actor as well.
Her filmography includes American Horror Story, Mr. Robot, and The Newsroom.
On September 4, 2021, she tied the knot with Mark Ronson after one year of dating.
Grace and Mark have one daughter together, which makes Meryl a five-time grandmother.
Louisa Jacobson
Born on June 12, 1991, Louisa Jacobson Gummer is the youngest of her siblings.
Louisa’s most famous role is as Marian Brook in HBO’s The Gilded Age.
“I feel I’m very careful about decisions in my life because I’ve been able to watch my older siblings do what they do,” she said of her family’s influence.
She told Tatler: “I think a lot of people put pressure on themselves to be good at what they do, particularly when you are following such a prolific parent.
“It’s going to be a constant thing throughout my life.
“It has been since I can remember…this issue of ‘Do I deserve what I have?’ But I think about Jane Fonda and how she made a name for herself.
“I think it just takes time and not reading Twitter and just focusing on what I want to achieve as an artist.”
