Meryl Streep’s publicist has confirmed that she and her husband Don Gummer have been separated for over six years. The award-winning actress and the American sculptor had been married since 1978. Streep and Gummer have four children, including daughters Mamie Gummer, Grace Gummer, and Louisa Gummer, who are all involved in acting, and son Henry Wolfe Gummer.
Streep, known for her roles in movies like “Kramer Vs Kramer,” “Sophie’s Choice,” and “The Iron Lady,” has recently appeared in projects such as the comedy series “Only Murders In The Building,” the drama “Let Them All Talk,” and the Netflix satire “Don’t Look Up.” She has received 21 Academy Award nominations and has won three Oscars.
In her Oscar acceptance speech for “The Iron Lady,” Streep expressed gratitude to Gummer, saying, “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.”
If you see a man with one painted fingernail, here’s what it means
When Elliot Costello and a group of other people visited Cambodia, he had an encounter with a young girl named Thea.
Little did Elliot know that this encounter would have an impact so profound on him that it would help start a movement whose goal is to end sexual abuse against children.
Namely, Thea always had nail polish on her tiny nails. One day, as she and Elliot chatted, she asked to paint one of his nails. He agreed and was happy to speak to the chatty girl, but he then learned that she was once a victim of sexual abuse.
“As she painted one of my nails, I assured her I would always keep it that way to remember her, and by extension, her suffering,” Elliot said.
This motivated Elliot to try and make positive change among men so that less and less children fall victims of sexual abuse.
That is when he came up with the movement called #PolishedMan where men put nail polish on one of their nails. That one nail represents the one in five children who will be victims of sexual violence.
Polished Man works towards ending sexual violence against children. According to the organization, “being a Polished Man means challenging violent behavior and language, both locally and globally.”
Elliot believes that since men are responsible for 96% of this type of violence against children globally, they should be catalyst for change if we are ever to see an end to the abuse of innocent children.
The goal with the painted nail isn’t just to remind people of the number of children who are abused every single day, but to serve as a conversation starter about this reality, leading to new ideas about prevention. He also hopes that people will start donating to “support educational programs and resources for child survivors of abuse,” as per APlus.
We hope that more men, including celebrities
