Mamie Gummer is presenting this divorce settlement as a clean, amicable conclusion to what became an untenable marriage. Her decision to check the box terminating the court's ability to award spousal support to Mehar Sethi suggests she's prioritizing a swift resolution over financial extraction—a move that reads as class act behavior from someone who clearly doesn't need her ex's money.
Insiders close to the situation tell me there were rumblings that this union had been troubled for at least a year before Mamie pulled the trigger in February 2025. The fact that they're both walking away without a public custody battle is notable—sources say Peter and Mary will remain the priority, with their parents committed to co-parenting privately. But let's not pretend second divorces aren't a pattern.
Mamie Gummer filed for divorce from Mehar Sethi in Los Angeles on February 2025. The couple married in February 2019—two weeks before welcoming their son Peter, who is now 7 years old. They share two children: son Peter and daughter Mary. This marks Mamie's second divorce; she was previously married to actor Benjamin Walker.
Two divorces by 41 isn't a scandal, but it's certainly a pattern worth noting. The real question isn't whether Mamie will be fine—she's Meryl Streep's daughter, she's got generational wealth and talent. It's whether anyone noticed she filed this on a Friday afternoon like someone hoping no one would care.
Mamie Gummer is officially single again—and honestly, this has been a long time coming. TMZ obtained the filing from a Los Angeles court on Friday confirming that the 'Good Wife' star has settled her divorce from Mehar Sethi, bringing an end to proceedings she initiated back in February 2025. That's fourteen months of legal wrangling for those keeping score at home.
The couple, who tied the knot in February 2019—just two weeks before welcoming their first child together—cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split from the very beginning. No surprises there. What IS interesting is what Mamie was asking for versus what she's apparently getting. She sought joint legal and physical custody of both their son Peter, now 7 years old, and daughter Mary. She also requested spousal support—but here's where it gets spicy—she checked the box that terminates the court's ability to award any support TO her ex-husband. That's not nothing. That tells me she went into this negotiation knowing exactly what she wanted: clean hands, full custody rights, and absolutely zero ongoing financial entanglement with a man who's apparently been out of the picture for a while.
The specific terms of their child custody arrangement and any spousal support agreement remain sealed from public view, which is standard practice when celebrities want to keep their business—well, business. But sources close to the situation confirm that both Mamie and Mehar have agreed on a plan and are ready to legally terminate this marriage without dragging it through tabloid fodder.
Let's address the elephant in the room: this is Mamie's second divorce. She was previously married to actor Benjamin Walker, her co-star from 'The Last of the Mohicans' era, before marrying Mehar Sethi in 2019. Two marriages, two endings—at 41 years old, that's a track record that speaks for itself. Whether you're Team Mamie or simply noting patterns, there's no denying she's now navigating single motherhood with two kids under her belt while carrying one of Hollywood's most recognizable surnames.
For what it's worth, having Meryl Streep as your mother probably makes the whole divorce thing slightly less terrifying—you're telling me someone who's survived more awards season rejections than any human should endure can help you through a rough patch? Mamie's going to be just fine. But the rest of us will be watching to see if marriage number three is in her future—or if she's decided that particular institution simply isn't for her.
