HOLLYWOOD SHOCK! MERYL STREEP’S 33-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER COMES OUT AS QUEER ON HER MOM’S SPECIAL DAY

Louisa Jacobson, the daughter of famous actress Meryl Streep, has publicly come out as queer. She shared the happy news on Instagram with a photo of herself and her partner, which made fans and social media users very excited.

The 33-year-old actress, known for her role in “The Gilded Age,” posted pictures with her partner, Anna Blundell, on June 22. This date was special because it was both her mother’s birthday and during Pride Month.

In her post, Jacobson shared how happy she felt, writing, “blessed to be entering the Joyful New Era bb.” Her caption referred to a recent New York Times article called “We’re Entering a Joyful New Era of Lesbian Fashion.”

Support for Jacobson’s announcement flooded social media. Blogger Sky Maddas praised her choice of timing, saying, “COMING OUT AT YOUR MOM’S BIRTHDAY IS SO ICONIC.”

Socialite Derek Blasberg also joined in with a happy “Happy Pride.” Fans left encouraging comments like “omg so happy for you!” and “We’ll support you in every era kiddo!”

Earlier in June, Jacobson gave hints about her relationship by sharing ten photos on Instagram that showed her close bond with Blundell. One photo showed them taking a mirror selfie in an elevator, both wearing matching black outfits.

Another photo featured Blundell, wearing an “ITALIA” hat, kissing Jacobson’s cheek. Jacobson, in orange-tinted sunglasses and a grey denim jacket, looked happy.

One more photo showed them holding hands while walking down the street, both in denim and black long-sleeve outfits.

In the final photo, they stood in a living room, each holding a drink and looking towards a table outside where a child was sitting alone. Jacobson captioned the post, “Cute spring things.”

Even though Jacobson has come out publicly, she has kept her romantic life mostly private. She has shared photos with Blundell, but Blundell has only posted about their relationship once on Instagram.

On December 15, 2023, Blundell, a producer, posted a similar photo with the caption “Annual update,” showing herself looking away while Jacobson smiled at the camera under red light.

Jacobson’s new relationship is similar to her mother’s romantic life. After separating from her long-time husband, Streep was rumored to be dating one of her “Only Murders in the Building” co-stars last March after their appearance at the Golden Globes.

Before the recent rumors, Meryl Streep had been married to Don Gummer for 45 years. They got married in September 1978 after knowing each other for less than a year. They met through Streep’s brother, Harry.

Now, Streep and Gummer are separated. In 2023, a spokesperson for Streep revealed that they had been living apart for more than six years. The last time they were seen together was at the 2018 Oscars.

The spokesperson said that even though Streep and Gummer still care about each other, they have decided to live separate lives.

After their split, there have been rumors that Streep might be involved with her co-star from “Only Murders in the Building,” Martin Short. The rumors started when they were seen together at the 81st Annual Golden Globes.

At the event, Streep and Short were sitting with Selena Gomez, their co-star. All three were nominated for their roles, which added to Streep’s record as the most-nominated actor in Golden Globes history.

Fans noticed the chemistry between Streep and Short and began speculating on social media about whether they might be a couple. One fan said, “Sitting with the knowledge that Meryl Streep and Martin Short might be in love but I have no proof.”

Fans thought that if Streep and Short were dating, it would be a big deal. “If Martin Short and Meryl Streep are dating, that’s the biggest power couple going,” one fan said. Another fan added, “Martin Short and Meryl Streep — be the power couple of 2024 we all need if you aren’t already.”

Like Streep, Short was also in a long-term marriage. He married his wife, Nancy Dolman, in 1980, and they were together until she passed away in 2010.

Dolman died of natural causes after Short called 911 from their Los Angeles home. They had been married for 30 years and had three children: Oliver, Henry, and Katherine.

Reports said Dolman had been battling ovarian cancer since 2007. In 2019, Short talked about his marriage and losing his wife, calling it “a triumph.” He said he still feels connected to her and seeks her guidance on decisions, especially about their children. He believes that those who have passed away continue to have an impact on their loved ones.

Short explained, “This idea that it just ends, and don’t speak of them — that’s wrong. That’s based on denial that we’re all going to die. So to me, she’s still here.” Losing his wife also led him to embrace risk-taking.

The Canadian-born actor doesn’t believe in bucket lists, focusing instead on daily happiness. He keeps a list of categories like health and career, periodically giving himself a report card to identify areas for improvement.

Short reminisced about a childhood question: “What is the most important thing in life?” His response was simple yet profound: “To be happy.” For Short, part of that happiness comes from being helpful to the people he loves. “That’s what takes you from day to day,” he added.

Now, fans speculate whether Streep is one of the people Short loves. Rumors of a romance between them intensified after they were seen together at the 2024 AFI Luncheon.

Moreover, Streep and Short’s characters in “Only Murders in the Building” fell in love during the third season of the Hulu comedy. Fans have noted their great on-screen chemistry. “Only Murders in the Building” is a collaborative creation by Steve Martin and John Hoffman.

Hoffman shared that Streep expressed gratitude to him for crafting the romantic storyline involving her and Short’s characters in the series, noting their incredible on-screen connection. In season three, episode five, Streep and Short’s characters share a date on a ferry overlooking New York City.

Hoffman recalled Streep’s fondness for the ferry location, ranking it among her top two favorite filming sites. “It was the most magical night of shooting, and they were completely beyond wonderful together,” Hoffman remarked about the scene and the chemistry between Streep and Short.

Besides their on-screen chemistry, Streep and Short have been enjoying their time together off-screen. On February 21, 2023, the pair had dinner with friends at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California.

For their outing, Streep wore black pants with a hot pink button-down shirt and a red jacket. Short wore a gray sweater and a black blazer.

An insider shared details about their dinner. The source said, “They were really enjoying their meal and having a blast the whole time,” mentioning there was “lots of laughing” and that the group “couldn’t have been having a better time.”

Despite their close friendship, Short has denied any romantic relationship with Streep. In a January 2024 interview, Short said, “We are not a couple; we are just very good friends.”

Both Streep and her daughter Jacobson are moving on to new phases in their lives. Jacobson is in a new relationship with Blundell, and Streep is enjoying her close friendship with Short. They are both embracing these new chapters with love and support.

Five Years After My Wife’s Death, I Took My Child to My Best Friend’s Wedding – When I Saw the Bride, My Daughter Asked, ‘Daddy, Why Are You Crying?’

Five years after losing my wife, my daughter and I attended my best friend’s wedding. But my world shattered when he lifted the bride’s veil. As my daughter whispered, “Daddy, why are you crying?” the bride locked eyes with me — and in that instant, everything fell apart.

I never planned to go to that party. My buddy Mark had to drag me there, promising it would “get me out of my funk.”

I’d been working double shifts at the construction site all week, and my body felt like concrete had replaced my muscles.

“Just one hour,” Mark said, practically shoving me through the door of some downtown apartment. “Then you can go home and be a hermit again.”

Funny how the biggest moments in life happen when you least expect them.

The party was full of people who didn’t look like they’d ever lifted anything heavier than a martini glass. I felt out of place in my worn jeans and faded t-shirt.

But that’s when I saw Natalie.

She wasn’t supposed to be there either. I later found out she was just dropping something off for a friend.

Our eyes locked across the room, and something clicked into place. Sparks, connection, whatever you want to call it; I knew I wanted her in my life.

“Who is that?” I asked Mark, nodding toward her.

He followed my gaze and whistled low. “Natalie. Don’t waste your time, man. Her family owns half the city.”

But I was already walking toward her.

She smiled when I approached, and that smile hit me like a wrecking ball.

“I’m Jake,” I said, holding out my hand.

“Natalie,” she replied, her voice soft but confident. Her hand was small in mine, but her grip was firm. “You look about as comfortable here as I feel.”

We talked for hours that night.

She wasn’t what I expected (no trust fund princess attitude, just genuine warmth and curiosity). By the end of the evening, I knew I was in trouble.

“My parents would hate you,” she said as I walked her to her car, moonlight catching in her dark hair.

“Is that a problem?” I asked.

She looked up at me with those eyes that seemed to see right through me. “Probably. But I don’t think I care.”

Six months later, we were married. Her parents didn’t attend the wedding. They cut her off completely: no trust fund, no family vacations, nothing.

But Natalie just squeezed my hand and told me, “I don’t care about the money. I only want you.”

For a while, it was enough.

We moved into a small two-bedroom apartment. I worked construction during the day and took night classes in architectural design. Natalie got a job at a local gallery. We were happy, or so I thought.

Then Emma was born, and something shifted.

The warmth in Natalie’s eyes began to fade. She started comparing our life to the one she’d left behind.

“My college roommate just bought a vacation home in the Hamptons,” she mentioned one night as we ate macaroni and cheese at our tiny kitchen table. Emma was asleep in her crib beside us.

“That’s nice,” I said, not looking up from the blueprints I was studying.

“She invited us to visit. I had to tell her we couldn’t afford the trip.”

I felt the sting of her words. “We’re doing okay, Nat. Things will get better.”

“When?” she asked, her voice sharp. “When Emma’s in college? When we’re retired? I’m tired of waiting for ‘better,’ Jake.”

Our arguments became more frequent.

She hated budgeting and despised our humble life.

“This isn’t what I signed up for,” she’d say.

As if I’d somehow tricked her. As if love was supposed to pay the bills.

“You knew who I was when you married me,” I reminded her during one particularly brutal fight.

“Maybe that was the problem,” she said coldly. “I thought you’d be more by now.”

The next day, I came home from work early, planning to surprise her with flowers. The apartment was quiet.

Natalie’s suitcase and all her things were gone.

In the crib, I found a note:

“I want a divorce. I’m sorry, but our marriage was a mistake. I left Emma with Mrs. Santiago down the hall. You can keep her.”

I called her phone a hundred times. No answer. I drove to her parents’ mansion, desperate and wild-eyed.

The security guard wouldn’t let me through the gate.

“You’re not welcome here, sir,” he told me, looking almost sorry.

“Please, I just need to talk to Natalie,” I begged.

“Sir, I need you to leave the premises.”

Two days later, I was served with divorce papers. Natalie had signed away her parental rights to Emma.

Her father’s lawyers handled everything with brutal efficiency.

Then came the final blow.

Six months after she left, I called her parents’ house one last time.

“She’s gone,” her mother said, her voice flat. “Natalie died in a car accident. Don’t call again. You meant nothing to her.”

The line went dead.

I collapsed on our kitchen floor, sobbing until Emma woke up crying too.

They wouldn’t even let me see her grave. She was erased from my life as if she had never existed.

I threw myself into work and raising Emma. I finished my degree and started designing homes instead of just building them. People noticed my talent.

Within three years, I was running my own firm. Emma grew into a smart, happy little girl who looked just like her mother.

Five years passed. Life went on and the pain dulled to an occasional ache.

Then the invitation arrived.

Stefan, my best friend from a few years ago, was getting married. We’d struggled to keep in touch after he joined the military, but now he wanted me at his wedding.

“What do you think, Em? Should we go see Uncle Stefan get married?” I asked my daughter as she colored.

“Will there be cake?” she asked seriously.

I laughed. “There will definitely be cake. A big, fancy one.”

“Then we should go,” she decided, returning to her masterpiece.

The wedding was at a seaside resort, all white flowers and ocean breezes. Stefan hugged me tight when we arrived.

“Man, look at you! All grown up and successful,” he said, punching my arm lightly. “And this beautiful young lady must be Emma.”

Emma smiled shyly.

The ceremony was beautiful.

Guests filled the white chairs on the beach. Emma sat beside me, swinging her feet and playing with the flower I’d tucked into her hair.

The music started, and everyone stood.

The bride walked down the aisle with her face veiled.

Then came the moment.

Stefan beamed as she approached. When she reached him, he gently lifted her veil.

I stopped breathing. Tears streamed down my face before I realized I was crying.

Emma looked up, confused. “Daddy, why are you crying?”

I was frozen, staring at a ghost of my dead ex-wife in a white wedding dress.

Natalie turned to smile at the guests, but her eyes went wide in shock when she saw me standing there with our daughter.

Then she bolted.

Stefan called after her, bewildered, but she was already gone. I stood, legs shaking.

“Stay with Aunt Linda,” I told Emma, guiding her toward Stefan’s sister before following Natalie.

I found her in a corridor, trembling, pale, clinging to her wedding dress.

“You’re dead,” I whispered, my voice cracking. “They told me you were dead.”

She stammered, “I-I didn’t know they told you that.”

I laughed, hollow. “I begged them to let me see your grave. I spent years grieving you, Natalie.”

Tears pooled in her eyes. “I just wanted a way out… to start fresh. My father arranged everything.”

Fury rose in me.

“You let me mourn you. I had to tell our daughter her mother was dead! It was one thing to sign away your parental rights, but this? What the hell?”

Natalie flinched. “I thought she’d be better off without me.”

Stefan appeared, looking tense and confused. “What’s going on? Why did my fiancée just run out of our wedding? And why are you two fighting?”

I turned to him. “Because five years ago, she left me and our daughter. And then her family told me she was dead.”

“What?” Stefan’s face drained of color.

“Her father had lawyers cut all ties. Then they told me she died in a car accident. I mourned her. And now I find her at the altar, marrying my best friend.”

Stefan confronted Natalie. “Tell me you didn’t fake your death.”

She couldn’t deny it.

“Oh my God, Natalie,” Stefan whispered, broken.

Stefan walked away, face pale, fists clenched. The wedding was called off. Natalie’s parents appeared from nowhere and whisked her away.

They didn’t say a word to me. But I didn’t follow. Not this time.

Two weeks later, Stefan and I met for drinks.

“She fooled everyone,” he said bitterly, staring into his glass. “Her parents introduced us at some charity event last year. She never mentioned being married before or having a child.”

I nodded, but strangely, I felt at peace. “You couldn’t have known.”

“Are you okay?” Stefan asked.

I considered the question. “Yeah, I think I am. For years, I wondered what I did wrong and why she left. Now I know it wasn’t about me at all.”

I realized I wasn’t broken anymore. I had my daughter and my successful career now.

I had built a life despite the wreckage she had left behind. And for the first time in five years, I felt truly, completely free.
