Mamie Gummer, the 41-year-old daughter of Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep, has filed for divorce from husband Mehar Sethi after six years of marriage, according to TMZ. The couple, who share two young children—son Peter, 5, and daughter Mary, 3—separated on May 6, 2023. Court documents reveal Mamie is seeking joint custody of the kids and spousal support while aiming to block financial support for Sethi.

Mamie and Mehar began their relationship in 2018, announcing their engagement and pregnancy within months. They married in February 2019, welcoming Peter later that month and Mary in 2021. This marks Mamie’s second divorce; she was previously married to actor Benjamin Walker from 2011 to 2013.

The news follows her mother Meryl Streep’s own high-profile split from sculptor Don Gummer, her husband of 45 years. Streep, 75, confirmed their separation in late 2023, noting they had lived apart for over six years. The Sophie’s Choice star has since been romantically linked to Only Murders in the Building co-star Martin Short, 74.

Though reps initially called Streep and Short “just friends,” insiders say their chemistry on and off-screen was undeniable. The pair held hands at a 2023 event for their Hulu series, fueling speculation. Sources claim their romance was the “worst-kept secret” on set.

Mamie, an actress and producer, has four siblings: brothers Henry and Louisa, and sister Grace. Streep’s family has often appeared together at red-carpet events, most recently at the 2023 Oscars.

No public comments have been made by Mamie or Sethi regarding the divorce. Legal experts suggest custody arrangements and financial terms will likely remain private.

For now, Mamie focuses on parenting and her career, while Streep continues to captivate audiences — both onscreen and in headlines.
