Her mother is an Oscar winner who is considered the best actress in Hollywood.
The 76-year-old icon graduated from Yale University then worked with top actors in the 1970s.
She’s had a remarkably diverse career, appearing in everything from intense dramas alongside Dustin Hoffman to romantic comedies with Goldie Hawn and even a suspenseful series with Nicole Kidman. Most recently, she’s collaborating with Selena Gomez.
This top A-lister is also recently single and linked to a charming veteran comedian these days.
On Monday, her daughter attended the CFDA Awards wearing a classic look: a men’s-style suit paired with a white shirt, and her hair was cut short.
This 34-year-old also went to Yale and now works as an actress too.
Who is she?
She is Louisa Jacobson Gummer.
Louisa Gummer, the youngest daughter of Meryl Streep, is reportedly dating her “Only Murders In The Building” colleague, Martin Short.
This nepo kid graduated from Yale School of Drama with an MFA in acting.
Maya Jacobson started her television career in 2022, playing Marian Brook in the HBO historical drama, The Gilded Age.
She also appeared in the 2019 film Gone Hollywood and the film The Materialists.
She made her professional stage debut in 2019, playing the role of Juliet in a production of Romeo and Juliet at the Old Globe Theater.
In June 2024, Louisa came out as a lesbian.
She shared photos with her producer partner, Anna Blundell, and celebrated a positive new chapter, writing ‘Blessed to be entering the Joyful New Era bb’ with heart and rainbow flag emojis.
In 2022 Louisa was dating actor Jonathan Higginbotham who she met at the Yale School of Drama.
She told Vanity Fair that dating another actor was a positive experience. They could relate to each other because they both understood the unique challenges of their profession and could share similar frustrations. He truly understood her work.
Career paths are rarely straightforward. What feels out of balance at one point can easily shift later on. The key is to be adaptable and support your colleagues through it all.
Meryl Streep and her husband of 45 years, Don Gummer, announced their separation in October, revealing they had been living apart for over six years after deciding to pursue separate lives.
According to a statement to Page Six, Anne Hathaway’s mother, 75, and her stepfather, 77, have been living separate lives for over six years. While they remain fond of each other, they’ve decided to go their own ways.
They first married in 1978 and have four children together: Henry, age 44, Mamie, 41, Grace, 38, and Louisa.
A year after the loss, the ‘Mamma Mia!’ actor shared with People magazine that he was still deeply affected. He explained that the experience made him think about his own life and death, which changed his perspective on everything.
After Cazale passed away, the actress had to leave their apartment. Her brother and a friend of his – who was named Gummer – assisted her with the move.
Meryl and Don grew close, and when Don was away, he allowed Meryl to rent his New York City apartment. They started writing letters to each other, and their friendship quickly blossomed into a romantic relationship.
Meryl and Gummer had four children together during their marriage and are now grandparents to five grandchildren. Gummer earned his MFA from Yale University.
In a 2002 interview with Vogue, the actress revealed the key to her successful marriage with the artist: ‘goodwill, compromise, and knowing when to be quiet.’
She added that raising a family isn’t something you can plan for – it’s a constant process of compromise and working things out.
I need both meaningful work and deep loving relationships in my life – I don’t want to have to choose between them.
Louisa goes by Jacobson professionally, using her middle name to avoid confusion with another actress named Louisa Gummer.
The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) has a rule preventing members from using professional names that are too similar to those already used by other members, to avoid confusion.
In 2017, she began her professional acting career playing Mary Dalton in a Yale Repertory Theatre production of Nambi E. Kelley’s Native Son, directed by Seret Scott.
Louisa continued her stage career, notably playing Juliet in the 2019 production of Romeo and Juliet at The Old Globe.
She first appeared on television in 2022, starring in the historical drama The Gilded Age, which was created and written by Julian Fellowes.
In 2023, she and her fellow cast members were nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for their work as an ensemble in a drama series. However, the award ultimately went to the cast of another HBO show, Succession.
The promising actress is experiencing a surge in success, and will soon be appearing in her first film role in the A24 romantic comedy Materialists, directed by Celine Song.
Her costars are Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans.
Louisa’s partner has been working as a high-fashion photographer, creating campaigns for major brands like Tory Burch and Chloe. His recent work includes a campaign featuring Anne Hathaway for Versace.
