Louisa Jacobson, Meryl Streep’s Actress Daughter, Comes Out as Lesbian

Meryl Streep’s Daughter Louisa Jacobson Enters Happy Lesbian Era With Girlfriend, Producer Anna Blundell

One way to make a name for yourself as an actor who is the youngest daughter of one of the most iconic actresses of all time is to come out on your famous mother’s birthday. On June 22, Louisa Jacobson posted a slideshow with the caption “happy to enter the joyful new era bb ❤️‍🔥🏳️‍🌈.” The first slide is of her and producer Anna Blundell, presumably her girlfriend. The next slide gives more context to her caption, as it’s a screenshot of a headline that reads, “We’re entering a joyful new era of lesbian fashion.” Previously, on June 1 She posted a “happy pride” message on her Instagram Stories that many fans also took as a potential coming out exercise..

Now, no shade to Louisa, but I actually had no idea she existed until I read this title. I knew Grace and Mamie Gummer, and that they are actresses (actually, I saw Grace Gummer in the play Mary Page Marlowe with Tatiana Maslany), but I have now learned that they have an older brother, Hunter, who is a musician and has a younger sister, Louisa. In my defense, Louisa dropped “Gummer” from her stage name and worked primarily in theater until 2022, when she landed a starring role in the HBO series. Golden age, which I haven’t seen, where she plays Marian Brook, a young woman entering the New York social scene in the late 1800s. The series has other gay people in the cast, like Cynthia Nixon, but d ‘from what I can tell from the outside, the boys won this show, and that’s too often the case, often if there are gay men in a show, there aren’t enough space for homosexual women. (PLEASE correct me if I’m wrong. I wish I had a good reason to watch this show.)

Some of my favorite queer people commented on Louisa’s Instagram post, including Dickinson star Ella Hunt, who said “absolutely!!!”, queer Broadway star Ariana Debose said: “LIVE queen!” In fact, everyone seems to be excited about this development, shouting messages of support and covering the comments section with rainbow flag emojis and hearts. And the statement so true: we keep winning. Thanks to Louisa for allowing us to start the last full week of Pride in style.
