Meryl Streep is a mom of 4: What to know about her kids

Actress Meryl Streep isn't just a TV and film star, she's also a mother of four kids, whom she shares with artist Don Gummer.

Streep is the mom of one son, Henry Wolfe Gummer, and three daughters, Grace Gummer, Mamie Gummer and Louisa Jacobson.

In 2019, Streep became a first-time grandmother when Mamie Gummer gave birth to a boy.

Streep, who is Emmy-nominated for her role in "Only Murders in the Building," has said previously that motherhood is much more difficult than acting.

"Mothering. Definitely. Acting — that's praise, money, fulfillment," she told The Washington Post in a 1998 interview. "Mothering — they don't even say, 'Thank you ...' Real life, there's no comparison to acting. I can't really call acting work, since it's secretly so fun."

In the same interview, Streep recalled her own mom's role as a mom, saying, "I think my mother is a great model. Women are often devalued if they're not in the workplace. If you're a housewife, you're presumed to be nothing. Well, yeah -- you try to run a household with imagination and verve."

At the 2024 Grammy Awards, Streep made a rare red carpet appearance with family members, joining her daughter Grace Grummer and her husband Mark Ronson, an eight-time Grammy winner himself.

Prior to the Grammys, Streep and her kids were last spotted attending the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles together in December 2023, where Streep was honored with the Academy Museum Gala Icon Award.
