Making her kids the priority. Elizabeth Chambers has moved on after her split from Armie Hammer — but she isn’t ready to tell her children about the new man in her life.

During an Instagram Q&A on Monday, January 16, Chambers, 40, opened up about what daughter Harper, 8, and son Ford, 6, know when it comes to her relationship with boyfriend Ricardas Kazinec.

“They don’t know he’s my BF,” she answered. “Over the past two and a half years, my main (and only) priority has been to mitigate trauma and protect my kids at all costs.”

According to Chambers, she doesn’t think it is “helpful, productive, or necessary” for her kids to meet Kazinec, 26. The little ones are still “emotionally processing” the Bird Bakery founder’s decision to call it quits with Hammer, 36.

“Children first, but to each their own,” she concluded the candid social media response.

The Texas native originally took her romance with Kazinec public in September 2022 after weeks of teasing their connection. “Happy Friday,” she captioned an Instagram post that featured polaroid pictures of her and the wellness therapist.

Chambers’ bond with Kazinec came two years after she filed for divorce from the Call Me By Your Name star. “Thirteen years as best friends, soulmates, partners and then parents,” the pair’s joint statement read in July 2020. “It has been an incredible journey, but together, we’ve decided to turn the page and move on from our marriage.”

The former couple started dating in 2008 and exchanged vows two years later. Hammer’s personal life made headlines in 2021 when he was accused of sending several women graphic text messages about his sexual fantasies including rape, mutilation and cannibalism. The Social Network star was also accused of sexual assault,
