Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard's Family: A Look at Their Daughters

Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard are one of Hollywood's most low-key couples, successfully keeping their family life private. Despite being accustomed to the spotlight as highly acclaimed actors, they've given their two daughters a peaceful existence.

How Long Have Maggie Gyllenhaal & Peter Sarsgaard Been Together?

Maggie and Peter have been together since 2002, announcing their engagement in 2006. They tied the knot in 2009 and have remained inseparable.

In 2021, Maggie and Peter spoke about their relationship during a red carpet interview with People at the premiere of her film The Lost Daughter. 

“My husband is just — he’s incredible as an actor. He’s also just an incredible man,” Maggie gushed at the time. “He was great on set. I mean, I could totally rely on him. He was just beyond my wildest imagination. It really surprised me.”

Peter complimented his wife for writing and directing the film, in which he starred.

“She didn’t tell me what to do. She just appreciated what I did,” Peter pointed out. “There are a lot of directors that I’ve worked with that respect me but don’t really understand me or see me. She does. And there’s a big difference between those things. … My wife demanded more of me. I just wanted to do my best for her.”

Maggie and Peter welcomed their first child, daughter Ramona, in October 2006. Nearly six years later, the spouses welcomed second daughter Gloria Ray in April 2012.

Ramona has kept a low profile, but in May 2025, she was reported to be arrested while participating in protests against Israel for the war in Gaza. Neither Peter nor Maggie has publicly commented on the arrest.
