Mark Ronson’s Wife, Grace Gummer: The Woman Behind the DJ
Mark Ronson, 48, has been making waves in the award show circuit, primarily due to his involvement in the hit film, Barbie, which was released last summer. However, it was his wife, Grace Gummer, 37, who recently stole the show at the Grammy Awards with her stunning black gown. If you’re surprised by the news of Ronson’s marriage, here’s everything you need to know about his talented spouse.
The couple first met in April 2019 when they were seated next to each other at a Chanel Tribeca Film Festival Artist Dinner. It wasn’t until March 2021 that reports emerged about their romantic relationship, with reliable source JustJared confirming their dating status. The ongoing pandemic and travel restrictions posed challenges in their relationship, especially when Ronson had to return to the UK. However, they are working together to make it work.
In a surprising turn of events, Mark announced their secret marriage on his 46th birthday in September 2021. Via an Instagram post, he expressed his love and gratitude towards Grace, stating, ‘To my truest love…out of nowhere, you made 45 hands down the greatest year of my life. And I’m sure it took me 45 years to become the man worthy of your love. I hope I spend every one of these birthdays by your side til my last day. And beyond. Forever and ever yours ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ (and yes, we got married).’
Prior to her marriage to Ronson, Grace Gummer was previously married to Nomadland actor Tay Strathairn. Unfortunately, their marriage ended just a month after their wedding in August 2019. Meanwhile, Ronson divorced French actress Joséphine de La Baume in 2018 after a seven-year relationship. He was also engaged to Rashida Jones before that.
Grace Gummer is an accomplished actor, renowned for her remarkable performances in various theatre productions. Her Broadway debut in the 2011 revival of Arcadia earned her a Theatre World Award. Recently, she has appeared in notable television shows such as The Newsroom, AHS: Freak Show, Extant, and Mr. Robot.
Surprisingly, Grace comes from a modest background and hails from a highly talented family. Her mother is the renowned actor Meryl Streep, who needs no introduction, and her father is Don Gummer, a renowned American sculptor. Meryl and Don tied the knot in 1978 but announced their separation in 2017; however, the news of their separation only became public in 2023.
Grace was born in 1986, shortly after her mother won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in Sophie's Choice. Growing up in a famous family, she has three siblings: brother Henry and sisters Mamie and Louisa.
Mark Ronson and Grace Gummer have one daughter, Ruthie, who was born in January 2023. During his acceptance speech at the Critics Choice Awards, Ronson expressed his love and gratitude to his wife and daughter, referring to Grace and Ruthie as his world and everything.
Speaking on the Grammys red carpet, Ronson mentioned how his daughter has been a great source of inspiration, stating, ‘I’ve always been someone who stayed in the studio all the time. And now, there’s no song or idea more important than bath time and getting home, which I love.’ It’s evident that Ronson’s marriage and fatherhood have brought immense joy and fulfillment to his life.
