Elizabeth Chambers Is Dating a Much Younger Man After Splitting From Armie Hammer

Sometimes, reality can be stranger than fiction, like in the case of Elizabeth Chambers and her ex-husband, Rebecca actor Armie Hammer. He was accused of sending sexually explicit messages to women during his marriage. Later, multiple women accused him of sexual assault.

While Elizabeth and Armie have kept the details about their hellish divorce under wraps for the most part, fans are dying to know if the BIRD Bakery founder and CEO has a new man in her life.

Elizabeth appears to be dating physical therapist, Ricardas Kazinec, who also lives in the Cayman Islands, according to Hello Magazine. The pair made their debut as a couple in September 2022, and are believed to still be together. Although Elizabeth hasn't posted any recent photos of the two together on Instagram, she hasn't removed the few that showcase their time together.

Although Elizabeth seems to be happy with her new, and might we add, younger man, it took her some time to get back out on the dating scene. Following her split from Armie, Elizabeth remained single and solely focused on raising her children, Harper Grace, 9, and Ford Armand Douglas, 7, who she shares with her ex-husband Armie.

Elizabeth and Armie, who dated for two years before tying the knot in 2010, met by way of a mutual friend. According to Armie, it was love at first sight.

Although Elizabeth was in a relationship when she first met her now ex-husband, he quickly convinced her to pursue a romance with him instead. Elizabeth explained in a 2013 interview with Town & Country, “When we finally got together, Armie really wanted to get married.”

She continued, “He sat me down and said, ‘Look, we don’t have to do this. We could just go our own ways, and then one day you’ll be 40 and divorced and we’ll run into each other, and we’ll laugh and go out to dinner and have this same connection, and we’ll wonder why we wasted all of that time. Or we could just do it now and enjoy the ride.'”

The couple later split after Elizabeth allegedly received a “passionate” text that Armie intended to send to another woman. This controversy was only compounded by the series of texts exposed by gossip blogger House of Effie alleging that Armie had engaged in sexually explicit and cannibalistic behavior.

Armie has since denied these claims, even stepping off of a project with Jennifer Lopez, Shotgun Wedding, to spend time with his children. He told People, "I'm not responding to these bulls--t claims, but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for four months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic."

These days, Armie steers clear of the spotlight, despite the LA District Attorney's office deciding in November 2023 that it wouldn't pursue charges of sexual assault against him, per Vulture.

Although Elizabeth remained silent about the claims for some time, she took to Instagram in 2021 to confront the allegations for the first time with a cryptic caption.

While the former couple released identical statements that confirmed that their split was amicable, on Feb. 1, 2021, Elizabeth took to Instagram to address claims of Armie's abuse. 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.”

She concluded, “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. At this time, I will not be commenting further on this matter. My sole focus and attention will continue to be on our children, on my work, and on healing during this incredibly difficult time.”

Fast forward to 2024, and Elizabeth now seems to be in a much better place. But it wasn't an easy journey. In the Freeform reality series Grand Cayman: Secrets in Paradise, Elizabeth opens up about her divorce from Armie and explains that "the life that we had planned for years basically shattered. That was a really painful period of time."
