In an unexpected turn of events, beloved actress Meryl Streep (74) graced the red carpet at the Academy Museum Gala in LA, accompanied by her four children as her delightful companions. This uncommon family outing included Mamie Gummer (40), Grace Gummer (37), Louisa Jacobson (32), and Henry Wolfe (44), who posed alongside their famous mother for the cameras.
Grace Gummer's partner, renowned musician Mark Ronson (48), and Henry Wolfe's wife Tamryn Storm Hawker, joined the family festivities. The night concluded with the presentation of the esteemed "Icon Award" to Streep herself.
Notably absent from the star-filled ceremony was Streep's longtime husband and father of her children, Don Gummer (76). Since news of their separation surfaced in October 2015, more than six years ago, the former power couple has maintained a distance. Their last public appearance together was at the 2018 Oscars. Despite their separation, they now share not only four children but also five precious grandchildren.
