Actor Armie Hammer and television personality Elizabeth Chambers got married in 2010 and together the two have two children Harper Grace born in 2015 and Ford Douglas Armand born in 2017. However, in July 2020 the couple announced their separation, and only a few months later news broke of Hammer's scandal.
Today, we're taking a closer look at the reasons behind the couple's separation. Why did Elizabeth Chambers file for divorce — and just what is her and Armie Hammer's relationship like today? Keep on scrolling to find out!
How Did Armie Hammer's Wife React To The Allegations?
While some may think that Armie Hammer and his wife parted ways after the horrific accusations were made, the two actually split up in July 2020, and they announced their separation on Instagram with the statement:
"Thirteen years as best friends, soulmates, partners, and then parents. It has been an incredible journey, but together, we’ve decided to turn the page and move on from our marriage. As we enter into this next chapter, our children and relationship as co-parents and dear friends will remain our priority. We understand this news lends itself to public dialogue, but in the interest of our children and our family, we’re asking for privacy, compassion, and love during this time."
After news of the allegations broke in January 2021, Elizabeth Chambers acknowledged it on Instagram where she wrote: "For weeks, I’ve been trying to process everything that has transpired. I am shocked, heartbroken, and devastated. Heartbreak aside, I am listening and will continue to listen and educate myself on these delicate matters. I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know. I support any victim of assault or abuse and urge anyone who has experienced this pain to seek the help she or he needs to heal."
Chambers added that she won't be commenting on the allegations anymore, adding "My sole focus and attention will continue to be on our children, on my work, and on healing during this incredibly difficult time. Thank you for all of the love and support, and thank you in advance for your continued kindness, respect, and consideration for our children and me as we find ways to move forward."
It is unclear whether Elizabeth Chambers was aware of the allegations prior to when they became public — and whether they might be the reason the couple split up half a year earlier.
Why Did Elizabeth Chambers File For Divorce?
According to Vanity Fair, Elizabeth Chambers decided to end things with Hammer after she received a raunchy text message from him — one that was not meant for her. "The Hammers had been in expensive family therapy, but, to Elizabeth, the indiscretions — and more notably his decision to flee the family during a global pandemic — were the final straw," the source claimed. "When Armie touched down in the U.S., he mistakenly sent a raunchy text message meant for someone else to his estranged spouse. Elizabeth filed for divorce shortly after."
Reportedly, Chambers was aware of Hammer's infidelity as the actor confesses to cheating in 2017 shortly after his son's birth. However, later on, Chambers reportedly found "evidence of an affair Armie was having with a costar."
Is Armie Hammer Still Close To His Ex?
Whatever the reason for their separation may be, it seems as if Armie Hammer and Elizabeth Chambers have a good relationship today. A source for People magazine revealed in February 2022 that "Elizabeth's priority has always been her children and their well-being. The past year hasn't been easy, but she and Armie have always had love for each other. They're slowly figuring things out as a couple, but being parents to their two kids will always come first."
Another source for the outlet claims that Armie Hammer is "really the love of her life" and that "they obviously had a lot of issues, but Armie's rehab stay showed that he was committed to big changes. They get along and enjoy hanging out with the kids."
A source for E! News revealed that even though the former couple seems to be doing well, they won't be reconciling anytime soon. "They are not back together," the insider revealed, adding that "they are in communication and they are focused on the kids and they are making co-parenting work."
While the couple announced their separation in the summer of 2020, their divorce hasn't been finalized yet — and it is unclear whether they are proceeding with it. A source for People revealed that "they obviously had a lot of issues, but Armie's rehab stay showed that he was committed to big changes. They get along and enjoy hanging out with the kids."
