Mark Ronson has joked that his career is ‘drying up’ and that his wife Grace Gummer is now more famous than him, as he revealed he has returned to the studio.

The British DJ, 50, took to his Instagram on Monday with a hilarious clip of himself looking sombre.

In the clip, his and Andrew Wyatt’s instrumental version of Billie Eilish’s hit What Was I Made For? played in the background.

The pair produced the version of the song for the 2023 Barbie movie soundtrack.

On top of the clip, he penned: ‘Memoir money drying up.. wife quickly becoming more famous than me.. Barbie was three years ago. I have one chance.

‘Hi from the studio,’ he wrote alongside the post.

Mark and Grace got together in 2020 and tied the knot the following year in an intimate ceremony. 

They welcomed their first daughter, Ruthie, in 2023 and their second daughter in February 2025. 

Grace, who is the daughter of Meryl Streep, is known for her roles in The Newsroom, American Horror Story: Freak Show, and as a cast regular in Extant and Mr. Robot.

Most recently, she played Caroline Kennedy in Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, which has become one of the most talked-about series of 2026. 

It comes after Mark and his wife put on a rare display of public affection as they attended the BRITs afterparty. 

Mark kissed Grace at the star-studded afterparty after he paid tribute to her during his acceptance speech at the BRIT Awards. 

The record producer won the award for Outstanding Contribution To Music and said thanks to those he worked with as well as his family, specifically calling out his wife and their two daughters.

Grace attended the awards ceremony alongside Mark to show her support for her husband.

 During the speech, Mark also highlighted that that week marked 20 years since he met Amy Winehouse.

The pair wrote the iconic hit Back to Black together on the ‘same day’ – a moment that ‘changed his life forever’.

Mark said: ‘It means so much to me to get this award.’

The musician then thanked those who have collaborated with through the years – including Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars and Dua Lipa – and says that the music he made with Amy provided him with the platform to go on and work with them all.

He said: ‘The music I made with Amy is the reason any of them know who I am anyway, so that’s why I will also treasure her voice, her talent, our bond, all of it.’

After receiving his award from Skepta, Mark performed Ooh Wee on stage with Ghostface Killah before again paying homage to Amy with a rendition of Back to Black. 

It included a clip of the late star talking about Mark – and Valerie alongside Amy’s band The Dap-Kings.

This was followed by a performance of Uptown Funk before Dua Lipa made a surprise appearance to sing Dance The Night from the Barbie soundtrack and the collaboration Electricity.

Mark had previously described how the BRIT Award was the most ‘meaningful honour’ of his career in music.

He said in a statement earlier this month: ‘This is the most meaningful honour of my career. 

‘I think of the times I’ve watched artists I revere accept this same award. The idea that I’m now standing in that lineage feels impossible.’

Mark was born in London, but raised in New York – and the chart-topping star has admitted to feeling proud of his British roots.

He said: ‘I left England as a kid, but this country runs through everything I’ve made.’
