10 Celebrities Who Married Common People

7. Meryl Streep and Don Gummer

Meryl Streep’s husband, Don Gummer, is a sculptor, and the couple has a long and happy marriage. They walked down the aisle in 1978, and have four children together.

You might imagine one of Hollywood’s best living actresses to have a spouse who is similarly high up in the entertainment sector, but that is not the case.

“First, I’m going to thank Don,” Streep said in 2012 as she accepted the best-actress Oscar for her role in The Iron Lady. “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.
