She earned her screen breakout in 2022 after appearing in the HBO Max's period drama "The Gilded Age". Since then, it has been a win for Louisa who doesn't seem to be backing out soon.
The Only Son of Meryl Streep is Henry Wolfe
Aside from Mamie, Grace, and Louisa, Meryl is also the mother of Henry Wolfe Gummer, her only son. He was born on November 13, 1979, in New York and he's 44 years old at the moment. Unlike his sisters, Henry does not pursue a career in the entertainment industry.
After dropping out of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, he delved into music and has made appearances on soundtracks of his mother's movies such as Julie and Julia and Ricki and the Flash. According to him, he gets satisfaction from completing songs, a feeling he never got from acting.
"For me, music was more stimulating from day to day. It was something that I didn't need to be working on a project to practice. I can do it whenever and I get satisfaction from completing songs that I never really got from acting."
Aside from being a musician, Henry is a husband and father. He has been married to Tamryn Gummer since 2019 and they are parents of two children namely Ida June Gummer and Quinn Williams Gummer.
