The popular actress and her husband have been together for 45 years. Even though they decided to break up, their love is still unique among celebrities. Staying committed to a partner in a world of fame and chaos is difficult. The couple shares 4 children and 5 grandchildren and even after their split, such a long and beautiful relationship can’t be forgotten. They still care for each other, but they commonly decide that it will be better for them to live apart. The fact that Meryl continues to wear her wedding band is proof that there might still be feeling involved.
What a unique story. Can you imagine living with the love of your life for decades and then realizing that everything was not what it seemed? It’s an overwhelming situation but the actress and her ex-husband know for sure what were the reasons behind their decision.
It feels unfair, almost disappointing seeing a powerful couple split. It makes us lose our hope in real love. Or… is that true? Does love really last just 3 years? What do you think? Let us know in the comment section found below. Meryl Streep said multiple times in different interviews that it’s essential to give each other space because that is how you also get closeness.

Yes, it ended… but are we going to forget that it lasted 45 years? Clearly, not!
