Meryl Streep’s Daughter, 33, Comes Out as Queer on Mom’s Birthday & Shares Photo With Girlfriend
Louisa Jacobson, daughter of the legendary actress Meryl Streep, has publicly come out as queer, sharing the joyous news on Instagram alongside her partner, much to the delight of netizens and social media personalities.
The 33-year-old star of “The Gilded Age” posted photos with her partner, Anna Blundell, on June 22, coinciding with her mother’s birthday and the celebrations of Pride Month.
Jacobson expressed her happiness in her post, writing, “blessed to be entering the Joyful New Era bb.” Her caption referenced a recent New York Times article titled “We’re Entering a Joyful New Era of Lesbian Fashion.”
Support for Jacobson’s announcement poured in across social media. Blogger Sky Maddas praised her timing, saying, “COMING OUT AT YOUR MOM’S BIRTHDAY IS SO ICONIC [sic].”
Socialite Derek Blasberg joined in with a cheerful, “Happy pride.” Fans added encouraging comments like “omg so happy for you! [sic]” and “We’ll support you in every era kiddo [sic]!”
Earlier in June, Jacobson hinted at her relationship by sharing a carousel of ten photos on Instagram, showcasing her affectionate bond with Blundell. One image captured the couple posing for an elevator mirror selfie, both in matching black outfits.
Another photo showed Blundell, wearing an “ITALIA” cap, kissing Jacobson’s cheek, who looked casual and happy in orange-tinted sunglasses and a grey denim jacket.
One more snapshot depicted the couple holding hands while walking down the street, both dressed in matching denim and black long-sleeve outfits.
In the final photo, Blundell and Jacobson stood in a living room, each holding a drink and looking toward a table outside, where a child sat alone. Jacobson captioned her post, “Cute spring things.”
Despite her public coming out, Jacobson has kept her romantic life relatively private. While she has posted photos with Blundell, Blundell has only shared about their relationship once on Instagram.
On December 15, 2023, Blundell, a producer, posted a similar photo captioned “Annual update,” featuring herself looking away while Jacobson smiled at the camera under a red light.
Jacobson’s new relationship mirrors her mother’s romantic life. After separating from her longtime husband, Streep reportedly sparked romance rumors with one of her “Only Murders in the Building” co-stars last March, following their appearance at the Golden Globes.
Before these rumors, Streep had been married to Don Gummer for 45 years. They wed in September 1978 after knowing each other for less than a year. Streep and Gummer met through her brother, Harry.
Now, the Oscar-winning actress and Gummer are separated. A spokesperson for Streep revealed in 2023 that the couple had been separated for more than six years. Before this announcement, they were last seen together at the 2018 Oscars.
The spokesperson emphasized that while Streep and Gummer will always “care for each other, they have chosen lives apart.”
Following their split, there is speculation that Streep has moved on with her co-star in “Only Murders in...
