Meryl Streep’s daughter Louisa Jacobson Gummer came out as a lesbian and debuted her girlfriend on Instagram this week.

“blessed to be entering the Joyful New Era bb,” Gummer, 33, captioned a carousel whose second slide featured a headline that read, “We’re Entering a Joyful New Era of Lesbian Fashion.” She also added a rainbow flag emoji to her caption.

One of the photos showed “a Victorian painting which centres [the poet] Sappho’s love for women,” while another included graffiti on a wall that read, “live.laugh.lesbian.”

A few of the pictures also featured Gummer’s girlfriend, Anna Blundell, who is a producer.

Blundell, for her part, seemingly debuted the couple’s relationship in December 2023.

“Annual update,” she captioned a selfie at the time, which resembled one of the snaps included in Gummer’s upload.

“OMFG ILYSM,” Gummer, an actress who starred in the HBO period drama series The Gilded Age, commented.

Gummer came out on Streep’s 75th birthday, as one of the comments left beneath her post noted, “COMING OUT [ON] YOUR MOM’S BIRTHDAY IS SO ICONIC.”

“the lesbians keep winning!!!” someone else remarked, as a third exclaimed, “THE GIRLS HAVE WON.”

Actress and singer Ariana DeBose, who is openly gay, also gushed, “LIVE queen!”

Gummer, who graduated from the Yale School of Drama with a Master of Fine Arts in acting, is Streep and her estranged husband Don Gummer’s youngest child.

The pair also share son Henry Wolfe Gummer, 44, daughter Mamie Gummer, 40, and daughter Grace Gummer, 38.

They are grandparents to five grandchildren.

It was revealed in October 2023 that Streep and Don, who married in September 1978, had been “separated for more than six years.”

“While they will always care for each other, they have chosen lives apart,” a rep for the Oscar winner told us at the time.

Streep and the sculptor were last seen together at the 2018 Academy Awards.
