Armie Hammer reunites with ex-wife and kids for milestone... after scary cannibalism scandal
Armie Hammer had a rare reunion with his ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers to celebrate an important milestone with their eight-year-old son Ford. The 38-year-old actor and his 42-year-old ex Chambers share two children together, Ford and 10-year-old daughter Harper. The Social Network star and his entrepreneur/TV personality wife were married from 2010 until their split in 2020, with their divorce finalized in 2023, amid his cannibalism scandal. The exes have been co-parenting their children since the split, and they came together to celebrate Ford completing the second grade. Chambers shared a joyful snap of the exes and their kids, with Chambers sharing his second grade completion certificate. 'Happy 2nd Grade Step-Up Fordy Boy!' the doting mom said in the snap, with her son holding on to the family's dog. Armie was seen smiling in the snap with his arm around Harper, donning a black t-shirt, black pants and holding a black coat. Chambers donned a stylish black and white striped dress along with gold bracelets and gold earrings for the outing. Hammer shot to fame after playing the Winklevoss Twins in 2010's The Social Network, that was instrumental in launching his career. That rising career quickly came crashing down in 2021 when multiple accusations of sexual assault, rape and even cannibalism surfaced. While the LAPD launched an investigation, no charges were filed against the actor, who has admitted to consensual BDSM and emotional abuse, but denies all sexual assault and cannibalism charges, which stemmed from a woman named Courtney Vucekovich who alleged he said he wanted to cook and eat one of her ribs. Chambers recently promoted her upcoming show Toxic on The Today Show, where she admitted that things were great with her ex and children. 'They're amazing. We're amazing. I think we've never been stronger as a family,' Chambers said. 'This show touches on domestic violence, it touches on really unhealthy patterns. For me, I just experienced betrayal,' she said of her relationship with Hammer. 'But in that process, I really learned so much about patterns and how parenting, really it comes down to parenting,' Chambers added. 'It comes down to humanity and psychology and all of those interesting things,' she said, while admitting she's not a fan of the term 'co-parenting.' 'I don't love that word co-parenting, right? I think we're just parents and everyone is just parenting as well as they can with what they have,' Chambers said. 'Our family is, again, so strong and better than ever. But for me, divorce in itself is just trauma, Chambers admitted.

Jordan Strauss/AP Photos What Happened to Elizabeth Chambers? Chambers' marriage to Hammer, once a glamorous Hollywood union, ended in public scandal amid abuse allegations leveled against Hammer by multiple women. The couple married in 2010 and split in 2020. Chambers filed for divorce shortly after their separation, and it was finalized in June 2023. In 2021, after the couple separated, Hammer faced public scrutiny after multiple women came forward with allegations that he had sent them disturbing messages describing violent sexual fantasies, including rape, mutilation and cannibalism. He was also accused of sexual assault—claims his legal team denied. In June 2023, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced it would not pursue charges, citing the results of a two-year investigation. Hammer has denied any wrongdoing. Chambers has spoken sparingly about the ordeal, often deflecting attention to protect her children, Harper and Ford. But with Toxic, she opens the door to a broader conversation about relational abuse and psychological manipulation. "This show touches on domestic violence, it touches on really unhealthy patterns. For me, I just experienced betrayal," she said on Today With Jenna & Friends. "But in that process, I really learned so much about patterns and how parenting, really it comes down to parenting. It comes down to humanity and psychology and all of those interesting things." Why It Matters Toxic is structured around real-life survivor stories, including the case of Kelly Sutliff, whose journey from victim to advocate anchors the series premiere. Sutliff was violently attacked by her husband in 2019, survived a 45-minute assault, and later saw him sentenced to probation after pleading guilty to aggravated assault by strangulation and other charges. Sutliff later reported stalking and intimidation that followed once he was released from the hospital. Sutliff, now a licensed therapist, created a nonprofit called Kelly's K9s, Tails of Courage, which pairs survivors of domestic violence with trained protection dogs. Her story, as presented in the premiere episode "Sleeping with a Stranger," lays bare not only the initial trauma but the prolonged emotional and legal toll of survival. "I want to find the truth," Chambers said in the trailer. How to Watch Elizabeth Chambers' 'Toxic' Docuseries Toxic airs Mondays at 10 p.m. ET on Investigation Discovery and is available for streaming on Max. The six-part series dives into patterns of gaslighting, love-bombing, manipulation, and emotional abuse through survivor testimonies and expert commentary. Chambers uses her platform as both a journalist and a survivor to guide these conversations. What People Are Saying Kelly Sutliff, founder of Kelly's K9s, Tails of Courage, on Instagram on May 5: "Tonight, my truth airs. A story of survival, silence shattered, and strength reclaimed. What almost killed me became the reason I fight—for those still trapped, and for those who didn't survive to tell their story." Elizabeth Chambers, on Instagram on May 5: "TOMORROW!! I CANNOT wait to share these extraordinary stories with you." What Happens Next Upcoming episodes of Toxic will continue to profile survivors like Sutliff and delve deeper into patterns of emotional and physical abuse. Chambers' work on the series positions her not just as host but as someone using personal experience to explore how toxic love begins—and how people rebuild after it ends. As she says in the trailer, "Rarely are men held accountable. The court of public opinion is very hard to reverse." Her new project seeks to reverse that silence, one story at a time.
