Meryl Streep and (ex)husband Don Gummer have been living separately for six years, Page Six confirmed, meaning the actress and artist's 45-year marriage has come to an end.

Meryl, 74, and Dom, 76, have separated, but they continue to care for each other. A spokesperson said on behalf of the cinema icon: “Dom Gummer and Meryl Streep have been separated for over 6 years, but they continue to care for each other. They simply chose to live separate lives."
Streep and Gummer were introduced by the actress' brother, Harry, in 1978. By then, her partner, Jon Cazale, had died of lung cancer. Streep and Gummer married the same year and have kept their relationship very private ever since.

They have 4 children: Henry Wofle, 43, Mamie, 40, Grace, 37, and Louisa Jacobson, 30, and 5 grandchildren.
