Actor Louisa Jacobson appeared to publicly come out as a lesbian and debut her relationship in an Instagram post over the weekend.
The caption read, “blessed to be entering the Joyful New Era bb,” and included flaming heart and LGBTQ Pride flag emojis. The first of six photos in the post was an image of Jacobson and Anna Blundell, whose verified Instagram bio says she’s a producer. The second photo is a screenshot of a recent New York Times article titled “We’re Entering a Joyful New Era of Lesbian Fashion.” The remaining images show Jacobson in a variety of ensembles one could describe as lesbian chic.
Fans in the comments of Jacobson’s post noticed that the actor posted the photo carousel to Instagram on her mother’s 75th birthday.
At least two news outlets, the New York Post’s Page Six and Out magazine, reported that Jacobson’s post initially had several other images, including a painting of the poet Sappho, who lived in ancient Greece and wrote about pursuing women lovers, and a photo of graffiti that read “live. laugh. lesbian.”
Jacobson, the daughter of Oscar-winning actor Meryl Streep, has followed in her legendary mother’s footsteps by attending Vassar College and then Yale University for her masters in fine arts. Jacobson stars in the HBO series “The Gilded Age” alongside Cynthia Nixon and Christine Baranski, which has been renewed for a third season.
Jacobson, 33, is one of many stars to celebrate Pride Month by publicly coming out. Singer Maren Morris came out as bisexual earlier this month, and “Baby Reindeer” actor Jessica Gunning came out as a lesbian recently.
