Meryl Streep’s youngest daughter, Louisa Jacobson, recently came out about her sexual identity by posting pictures on Instagram with her partner, Anna Blundell, during Pride Month. The actress shared her excitement about entering a “Joyful New Era” along with heart, fire, and rainbow-flag emojis. The post also included a screenshot of a New York Times article about a new era of lesbian fashion. Fans and friends congratulated Jacobson on her coming out, with many expressing support and love for the couple.
Blundell, a high-fashion photoshoot producer, had previously shared pictures of Jacobson on her own Instagram account, with the actress responding affectionately. Both women have strong ties to the fashion industry and are clearly supportive of one another’s careers. Jacobson, like her mother, Meryl Streep, has a background in theater and has recently gained recognition for her role as Marian Brook on HBO’s The Gilded Age. The show, set in 1880s New York City, has earned critical acclaim and nominations for its ensemble cast.
Jacobson provided a glimpse into the upcoming third season of The Gilded Age during an interview, hinting at more drama and intrigue. She expressed excitement for what’s to come and playfully called out creator Julian Fellowes to step up the intensity in the storyline. Jacobson’s experiences on the show have been personal and professional growth, reflecting her own journey as the daughter of a Hollywood legend. Streep and her husband, Don Gummer, announced their separation in 2023, which has influenced Jacobson’s approach to her career and identity.
In a candid interview with Vanity Fair, Jacobson revealed her internal struggles and the pressure she felt to prove herself. Despite initially hesitating to pursue acting, she found a connection to her character on The Gilded Age, Marian Brook. Both women share a desire to carve their own path and resist conforming to societal expectations. Jacobson’s portrayal of Marian reflects her own journey of self-discovery and empowerment. The actress’s openness about her sexual identity and her artistic growth exemplify her commitment to authenticity and personal expression.
