Louisa Jacobson, Meryl Streep's Daughter, Comes Out as Lesbian

Louisa Jacobson, the daughter of Meryl Streep, recently shared her emotional journey of coming out as a lesbian during the Human Rights Campaign’s Greater New York Dinner. The 33-year-old actress, known for her role in HBO’s 'The Gilded Age,' reflected on how past heterosexual relationships helped her conceal her true self until she embraced her identity during Pride Month in June 2024. Jacobson emphasized the importance of visibility and representation, stating that seeing others live authentically can inspire personal acceptance. She expressed gratitude for the supportive environment in Hollywood and acknowledged her evolving relationship with femininity as a significant change since coming out. Jacobson's coming out announcement included an Instagram post featuring her girlfriend, Anna Blundell, and underscored the broader cultural shift in redefining gender roles. At the event, she received the HRC Visibility Award, joining other honorees like Joe Locke, further highlighting the celebration of LGBTQ+ representation in the arts.
