Devastated after her boyfriend John Cazale died in 1978, Streep wrote about finding a source of support in her brother’s friend (Gummer) in her memoir “Her Again: Finding Meryl Streep.”
People reported that she moved in to his apartment while filming “Kramer vs. Kramer,” and they tied the knot six months after Cazale died.
Now, they share four children and attend many events arm-in-arm. After winning an Academy Award for her role in 2011’s “Iron Lady,” Streep thanked her husband during her acceptance speech.
She said, “First I’m going to thank Don, because when you thank your husband at the end of the speech they play him out with the music, and I want him to know that everything I value most in our lives, you’ve given me.”
