So here’s the scoop: Meryl Streep's daughter, Grace Gummer, has officially finalized her divorce from musician Tay Strathairn. The judge overseeing their split agreed on a settlement that seems fair to both sides, according to court documents obtained by Closer Weekly. Let’s dive into the details of how this whirlwind romance turned into a quick split.
What Grace Walks Away With
Grace, who's 34 and living in Los Angeles, is leaving the marriage with quite a few assets. She gets to keep her various bank accounts, her trust fund, and the keys to their Brooklyn apartment in NYC. Plus, she’s taking the 2001 BMW 330ci and the 1988 Mercedes SL560. But that’s not all—Grace also retains the rights, title, and interest in her company Gracious Me. And don’t forget, she also gets their business venture in Wareham, Massachusetts, called Beaver Dam Partners. It's safe to say Grace is walking away with some pretty valuable assets.
What About Tay?
Tay Strathairn, who's 39, isn't leaving empty-handed either. The judge granted him the right to keep his 1986 Toyota truck and his 2015 Jeep. He also gets to hang on to his various bank accounts, all the clothing, jewelry, and furniture in his possession. Additionally, Tay gains the rights, title, and interest in their company, All Days Inc. So, it seems like both parties walked away with their fair share of the marital pie.

Why the Split?
Let’s rewind for a moment. Grace and Tay got married in secret on July 10, 2019, but their union only lasted 42 days before they decided to separate. That’s what you’d call a whirlwind romance turned short-lived marriage. The settlement seems to be pretty equitable as both agreed not to ask for spousal support or make the other pay lawyer fees. They must be relieved that their legal battle has finally come to an end.
How It All Began
Grace and Tay first met on the set of the 1994 movie The River Wild. According to an insider, they reconnected in late summer 2017, and their relationship quickly turned serious. “They had reacquainted, and the relationship turned serious quickly,” the source told Closer Weekly. Despite their initial spark, it seems like the couple just couldn’t make it work long-term.
Meryl’s Reaction
Breaking the news to Meryl Streep, 71, was one of the hardest things Grace had to do. The Devil Wears Prada star “loves Tay and his parents,” according to an insider. Meryl is heartbroken about the split but remains fully supportive of her daughter. This isn’t Meryl’s first rodeo with divorce—her older daughter, Mamie Gummer, divorced her first husband, Benjamin Walker, in 2013. Knowing what her daughter is going through, Meryl is sure to help Grace navigate this tough time. But Grace is resilient and can probably handle this with grace, just like her name suggests.
