Elizabeth Chambers says boyfriend Ricardas Kazinec makes her ‘very happy’
Armie Hammers’ estranged wife Elizabeth Chambers is smitten with new boyfriend Ricardas Kazinec.
“He’s the cutest and makes me very happy,” she gushed during an Instagram Q&A with fans on Tuesday.
Chambers also shared that her beau has been traveling in Europe and visiting family and that he will be back soon.
Chambers, 40, and Kazinec, 26, took their love public in September, with the Food Network star sharing a photo of the happy couple to her Instagram.
“Happy Friday,” she captioned the pile of polaroid selfies at the time along with a white heart emoji.
Chambers’ friends flooded the comments section of the post to celebrate the happy couple.
“Hard launch. I’m so here for it. Happy for you! 💞💞💞,” Catt Sadler commented.
“You deserve it,” Erin Foster wrote.
“Yassssss 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥,” Eva Amurri added.
Other notable stars who congratulated Chambers on finding love included Jenna Dewan, Olivia Munn and Daphne Oz.
Chambers filed to divorce Hammer, 36, in July 2020. They share two kids: 8-year-old Harper Grace and 5-year-old Ford Armand.
“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,” they wrote in a joint statement at the time. “As we enter into this next chapter, our children and relationship as co-parents and dear friends will remain our priority.”
After their breakup, Hammer found himself involved in several scandals involving claims of cannibalism fantasies and violent behavior.
Several women, including exes Courtney Vucekovich and Paige Lorenze, came forward with claims of emotional and sexual abuse from Hammer in January 2021.
And in March of that year, a woman named Effie accused the “Social Network” star of “violently” raping her. Following her press conference, the LAPD launched an investigation into Hammer.
Hammer has vehemently denied the accusation via his attorney.
“From day one, Mr. Hammer has maintained that all of his interactions with [Effie] — and every other sexual partner of his for that matter — have been completely consensual, discussed and agreed upon in advance, and mutually participatory,” Hammer’s attorney told Page Six at the time.
“[Effie’s] attention-seeking and ill-advised legal bid will only make it more difficult for real victims of sexual violence to get the justice they deserve.”
Still, Hammer began losing work, including being booted from the Jennifer Lopez comedy, “Shotgun Wedding,” and ultimately his agency, WME.
In June 2021, Page Six reported that the “Call Me By Your Name” actor checked into rehab for drug, alcohol, and sex issues.
Despite the scandals, Chambers shared that she and Hammer are on good terms as they continue to work out their divorce terms.
“Our divorce is not finalized. But we are in a really great place. We talk all the time,” she told E! News in September. “We’re committed fully and wholly to our children, and to being together as much as possible in a non-romantic way for our kids.”
However, Page Six reported in September that the BIRD Bakery founder allegedly tried to work with Effie to hurt her ex. She also allegedly used a friend’s email to leak stories about Hammer to the press.
