Meryl Streep & Don Gummer—42 years

Meryl Streep and Don Gummer have been married for over 40 years. In that time, they have managed to maintain their privacy, with barely any gossip about their union in Hollywood columns and tabloids. The couple tied the knot back in 1978, but the beginning wasn’t easy for them. In fact, Streep had just lost her boyfriend of two years when she met Gummer, a renowned sculptor.

According to the actress, it was a blessing in disguise, and he helped her slowly move past her own sadness.As for the actual wedding ceremony, it was quite humble compared to today’s standards. Streep and Gummer were married in her parents’ home garden, and they haven’t looked back since. What a humble beginning for a pair who has managed to last so long in Hollywood. We all know separations and lawyers have become the norm in the industry.
