Being the daughter of Meryl Streep, the most famous actress in Hollywood, and her now-divorced sculptor husband, Don Gummer, made Louisa Jacobson famous from birth.
She has well-known siblings who are all older than her, in addition to her well-known mother. Henry Gummer, a pianist, and Mamie and Grace Gummer, two actresses, are Jacobson’s three older siblings.
Therefore, it’s also possible to argue that her family as a whole is successful. Nevertheless, Jacobson’s acting prowess has allowed her to achieve stardom on her own. She played Trish Sparks in the TV film Gone Hollywood, which marked her acting debut in 2019.
She was chosen to play Marian Brook in the then-upcoming HBO Max series The Gilded Age, which debuted that same year. The first season of the historical drama series premiered on January 24, 2022, and the season finale was made available on March 21, 2022.
The way that Jacobson portrayed Marian in the show won over fans right away, and they started complimenting her. Afterwards, HBO Max announced that The Gilded Age had been renewed for a second season, which debuted on October 29, 2023.

The Gilded Age Season 2 only included eight episodes, as opposed to Season 1’s nine. The season finale, “In Terms of Winning and Losing,” was released on December 17, 2023. Marian played by Jacobson has made appearances in all 17 of the episodes.
Regarding Jacobson’s Marian, she is characterized as a kind and amiable young lady who disobeys social norms. Living with her estranged aunts on East 61st Street, she is an orphan. She also instructs watercolor painting at Saint Mary’s.
Internet users were intrigued by Jacobson’s portrayal of Marian in The Gilded Age and want to find out more about the rebellious actress, particularly her private life. Now let’s explore Jacobson’s family, schooling, and dating history!
Is Louisa Jacobson married to a husband?
*Spoiler Alert* Although in The Gilded Age Season 2, Marian nearly forced David Furr’s character, Dashiell Montgomery, into marriage by becoming engaged, the same cannot be said for the actress who played Marian.
Jacobson is single as of the time of writing. In a similar vein, there are no rumors of the actress getting married anytime soon or even getting married. That does not, however, imply that she is without a special someone in her life.
At the moment, Jacobson and her boyfriend, Jonathan Higginbotham, are romantically involved. Another American actor, Higginbotham, is most recognized for his portrayal of Tommaso in The Walking Dead: Dead City. He has also made appearances on television in Shining Vale and The Blacklist.
When she arrived at the Yale School of Drama in 2017, she initially ran into her current boyfriend. But at this point, it’s unclear how the two got together and when they started dating. All that can be mentioned is that they have been dating for an extended period of time.
Even though they have been together for a long time, they have kept certain aspects of their relationship confidential. They don’t post photos on social media and don’t frequently appear in public. Furthermore, Higginbotham doesn’t appear to use social media at all.
In May 2022, Louisa Jacobson and her partner Jonathan Higginbotham were photographed by Bruce Glikas.
Nevertheless, during a rare public appearance in 2022, Jacobson and her 34-year-old lover were photographed together. They went to the Opening Night Gala of the New York City Center’s Encores production of Into the Woods on May 4, 2022.
Similarly, the actress revealed a little bit about her dating life when she was on the cover of Tatler Magazine in September 2022. If dating an actor was difficult, was it a question posed to her?
In one sense, Jacobson responded, it’s excellent since she and her boyfriend have similar careers and can voice complaints about the same things. “He truly understands what I do,” she continued. She was then questioned about the negative aspects of dating an actor.
“Managing one’s career through its many stages is never easy. Any imbalances that may occur at one point may reverse and go in the other direction later on. She answered, “You just have to go with the flow and be really supportive of one another.”
The magazine had revealed that Jacobson and her boyfriend were temporarily sharing a home in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in the same cover issue. They must have been dating for a while if they are now living together. It’s said that they’re still together for the time being.
Louisa Jacobsonβs bio and education
Jacobson is Streep and Gummer’s youngest child, as was previously mentioned. She has three older siblings in addition to her parents, and each of them has established a successful career in the music and entertainment industries.
Henry, her lone brother, was born in New York on November 13, 1979, making him the oldest of her siblings. The second oldest of Jacobson’s siblings, Mamie or Mary Gummer, was born in New York City on August 3, 1983. Grace is Streep and Gummer’s third oldest child.

Grace was born in 1986, and since May 9 is her birthday every year, she will be 37 years old in January 2024. She shared the same city of birth as Henry and Mamie. Furthermore, a lot of people believe that Mamie and Grace are doubles.
Regarding Jacobson, she was born on June 12, 1991, which means that as of January 2024, she will be 32 years old. She was born in Los Angeles, California, unlike her siblings. Similarly, Louisa Jacobson Gummer is her birth name, and Gemini is her zodiac sign.
In the entertainment world, Jacobson does not go by her first and last name, even though her full name is Louisa Jacobson Gummer. The reason for this is that SAG regulations prohibit “two actors having the same name in SAG,” and there is already another actress by the name of Louisa Gummer.
