Meryl Streep and her husband Don Gummer quietly separated during their 45-year marriage.
The Oscar-winning actress, 74, and the sculptor, 76, called it quits six years ago, although they remain legally married.
“Don Gummer and Meryl Streep have been separated for more than 6 years, and while they will always care for each other, they have chosen lives apart,” a representative for Streep told People in a statement on Saturday. The statement was first shared with Page Six on Friday.
USA TODAY has reached out to Streep's representative for confirmation.
Streep and Gummer were last seen publicly in 2018 at the Academy Awards, where the three-time Oscar winner was nominated for best actress for her role as newspaper publisher Kay Graham in "The Post."
The "Mamma Mia!" star and her husband married in 1978, six months after they met, according to People and Page Six.
The couple share four adult children: Henry Wolfe, 43; Mamie Gummer, 40; Grace Gummer, 37; and Louisa Jacobson, 32.
Streep and Gummer have been protectively private about their relationship. In 2002, the "Devil Wears Prada" actress told Vogue the secret to her long-lasting marriage is "goodwill and willingness to bend − and to shut up every once in a while."
"There's no road map on how to raise a family: It's always an enormous negotiation," she said. "But I have a holistic need to work and to have huge ties of love in my life. I can't imagine eschewing one for the other."

Streep would later make a rare public statement about her marriage, thanking Gummer in her acceptance speech at the 2012 Academy Awards for best actress for her role as British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher 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 the music, and I want him to know that everything I value most in our lives, you've given me," she said.
