Louisa Jacobson, daughter of acclaimed actress Meryl Streep, is sharing her exciting plans for Valentine’s Day this year with her partner, Anna Blundell. In a recent conversation with PEOPLE at a dinner for the Human Rights Campaign, the 33-year-old actress revealed her intention to go dancing, stating, “I’m going dancing on Valentine’s Day!” She expressed her enthusiasm for enjoying any lively music, particularly “just fun techno house,” making it clear that she is looking forward to celebrating the day.
This Valentine’s Day is particularly special for Jacobson as she prepares to spend it with her partner, indicating a significant milestone in their relationship. The actress recently received the Visibility Award from the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest advocacy organization for LGBTQ+ rights, a recognition of her efforts in supporting the community both on and off-screen. In her acceptance speech, she spoke passionately about the value of authenticity, stating, “To be visible is to be vulnerable.” Jacobson emphasized that while vulnerability is often mistaken for weakness, it is actually a powerful tool for connection among people.
She continued, reflecting on her career: “As an actor, I’ve learned that the most powerful performances happen when the actor allows themselves to be revelatory — when they drop the mask and stand in the raw truth of who they are.” This philosophy illustrates her belief that genuine connections are established when individuals reveal their true selves to others. Jacobson’s perspective resonates deeply with her audience, encouraging others to embrace their authenticity.
Looking back on her journey, Jacobson expressed immense gratitude for the support she has received, especially since coming out publicly. “It means everything to be honored,” she shared with enthusiasm. “I am so, so grateful and thankful to the HRC.” Her surprise at receiving the award highlights her commitment to advocacy and celebration of LGBTQ+ visibility, an opportunity she cherishes dearly.
Jacobson, who made her relationship with Blundell Instagram official in June, described her feelings of “blessed” as she embarks on this “Joyful New Era.” Her social media presence includes intimate pictures that showcase her relationship, further reflecting her pride and happiness.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, fans of Jacobson are undoubtedly excited to see how she and Blundell will celebrate their love. With her heartwarming plans and commitment to advocacy, Jacobson continues to inspire many, proving that her mother, Meryl Streep, has undoubtedly raised a remarkable individual who truly values connection, authenticity, and love.
