She told Vanity Fair about dating another actor: ‘It’s cool in a way. We share this strange career together and we can complain about the same things. He knows deeply what I do.
‘It is always difficult to navigate the different stages of the race. Imbalances that may exist at one time will change and change at another time. You just have to let yourself go and support each other.”
Streep and her husband of 45 years, Gummer, announced their separation in October when they revealed they had been separated “for over six years” after deciding to have “separate lives.”
In a statement shared with Page sixA spokesperson said that the Devil Wears Prada actress, 74, and the sculptor, 76, ‘have been separated for more than 6 years, and although they will always care for each other, they have chosen separate lives.’
The couple initially married in 1978 and share four children: Henry, 43, Mamie, 40, Grace, 37, and Louisa.
According to the outlet, Streep, who attended the Princess of Asturias Awards on Friday, was last seen with Gummer while attending the 2018 Oscars ceremony.
The former couple were first introduced through Meryl’s brother in 1978, and said ‘I do’ that same year in September during a romantic ceremony in the garden of their parents’ home.
The nuptials took place six months after her late boyfriend and fellow actor, John Cazale, died in March 1978 following a diagnosis of lung cancer.
A year after her death, Mamma Mia! Star reflected on her loss and told him People at that time, ‘Death is still with me. It’s forced me to face my own mortality and once you do, you see things differently.’
After his death, the actress had to move out of the apartment she had shared with Cazale and received help from her brother and one of her friends, who turned out to be Gummer.
Meryl and Don became close and he let Meryl sublease his New York City apartment when he wasn’t in the Big Apple. The couple began exchanging letters and soon the friendship became something more serious.
