Major Update 1: Louisa Jacobson's Public Revelation and Career Surge
Louisa Jacobson, who has captivated audiences as the central figure Marian Brook in Julian Fellowes’ period drama *The Gilded Age*, has had the most significant personal news in late 2025.
The young actress, who goes by her middle name Jacobson professionally, made headlines after apparently coming out and debuting her new girlfriend on social media.
Jacobson posted a photo with her partner, accompanied by a caption referencing "a new era of lesbian fashion," which quickly garnered widespread attention and support from fans and the LGBTQ+ community.
This public sharing of her personal life coincided with a major career peak. She is currently filming the highly anticipated Season 3 of *The Gilded Age* for HBO, where her character continues to navigate the rigid social hierarchy of 1880s New York.
Furthermore, Jacobson is set to appear in a buzzy new A24 romantic comedy, *Materialists*, directed by Celine Song (known for *Past Lives*), cementing her transition from period drama star to a versatile film actress.
Major Update 2: Grace Gummer Welcomes Second Child with Mark Ronson
Grace Gummer and her husband, superstar producer Mark Ronson, have expanded their family. The couple, who married in 2021, reportedly welcomed their second child in early 2025.
News broke in December 2024 that the couple was expecting again, and the baby's arrival was widely reported in February 2025, a joyous occasion for the extended Streep-Gummer-Ronson clan.
The couple was later seen attending the God's Love We Deliver 2025 Golden Heart Awards in New York City in October 2025, looking radiant and publicly confirming their status as a family of four.
Professionally, Grace Gummer continues to be a fixture in high-quality television. While she is celebrated for her roles in critically acclaimed series like *Mr. Robot* and *Dr. Death* (2021), her focus in 2025 has been on her growing family.
Her work on the 2022 vampire series *Let the Right One In* remains her most recent major television series, though fans eagerly await her next project now that she has settled into her new role as a mother of two.
Major Update 3: Mamie Gummer's New Prime Video Thriller and Grandchildren's Ambitions
Mamie Gummer, the middle daughter and a veteran actress of the three siblings, has secured a major new role in a highly anticipated streaming series.
In mid-2025, Gummer starred in the premiere of the Prime Video series *We Were Liars*, an adaptation of the bestselling young adult novel.
Gummer attended the premiere of the series during the 2025 Tribeca Festival in June, marking a significant step in her recent career trajectory.
She also joined the cast of an upcoming short film titled *In The Pocket*, from writer-director Julie Cavaliere, demonstrating her commitment to independent and diverse projects.
In a charming personal note, Mamie Gummer revealed in an exclusive interview that the acting bug has already been passed down to the next generation: her own children (Meryl Streep's grandchildren) have expressed an interest in acting, suggesting the Streep-Gummer dynasty is far from over.
The Power of the Streep-Gummer Name in Hollywood
The success of Mamie, Grace, and Louisa has sparked countless debates about nepotism in Hollywood, but their work ethic and critical acclaim speak for themselves. The sisters have consistently chosen challenging, diverse roles, often in prestigious projects, from Broadway (Mamie and Grace) to HBO (Louisa) and major streaming services (Mamie and Grace).
Their collective filmography, which includes *The Gilded Age*, *Mr. Robot*, *Dr. Death*, *We Were Liars*, *Side Effects*, and *Ricki and the Flash* (where Mamie acted alongside her mother), shows a clear intention to build a legacy based on talent and merit, not just lineage.
The siblings are often praised for their distinct looks and acting styles, though they share a striking resemblance to their iconic mother. Mamie is often seen as the dramatic lead, Grace as the intense character actress, and Louisa as the breakout star of prestige television. Their different approaches prove that the Streep-Gummer name is becoming synonymous with versatility and quality across all mediums.
The most recent updates—Louisa’s personal life openness, Grace’s new family milestone, and Mamie’s high-profile series—ensure that the Streep-Gummer children will remain a fascinating and relevant fixture in the entertainment industry for years to come. They are not just Meryl Streep's daughters; they are powerful, successful, and headline-making stars in their own right.
