Grace Gummer’s acting career may be flourishing, but it turns out that her love life isn’t rolling along as smoothly. The actress filed for divorce from her husband, musician Tay Strathairn, on March 23, 2020, according to People magazine. However, it turns out that she split from her spouse much earlier. Ultimately, the two spent less than two months together as a married couple.
The pair first met as children in 1993 on the set of Meryl Streep‘s movie The River Wild, which also starred Tay’s dad, David Strathairn, Extra notes. While it’s unclear when their relationship sparked as adults, there were apparently rumors about a romance in 2017 thanks to the fact that Grace and Tay attended the premiere of the HBO documentary Spielberg together, and also showed up to Emmy Rossum and Sam Esmail’s wedding that same year.
The pair decided to make it official themselves when they reportedly got married on July 10, 2019, however, they separated the next month, on August 21, with Grace citing irreconcilable differences as the cause for the split. While a break up is never easy, hopefully, Meryl will be there for her daughter as she moves on after her surely unexpectedly brief marriage.
