Gummer, 76, and Meryl Streep, 74, last shared an appearance at the 2018 Academy Awards. Streep was photographed wearing her wedding ring on Friday at the Princesa de Asturias Awards 2023.

Streep honoured her spouse in her 2012 acceptance speech following her victory for Best Actress at the Academy Awards for her performance in The Iron Lady.
“First, I’m going to thank Don because when you thank your husband at the end of the speech, they play him out with music,” according to her.
“I want him to know that everything I value most in our lives you’ve given me.”
The news was initially reported by Page Six, an American news outlet.
