Who is Armie Hammer’s ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers – and what has she said about him? The CEO of Bird Bakery opened up about her marriage and kids on new reality TV show Grand Cayman: Secrets in Paradise
In Grand Cayman: Secrets in Paradise’s second episode, which aired on Tuesday, Chambers says she is protective about her kids’ perception of their father. “I’m fiercely protecting my children, which is why we’re still here [living on the island],” Chambers told her co-star Julian Foster.
She added, “They have – thank God – no idea about what is going on. My children are visibly happy. They should think that their dad is a superhero. And to be fair, he has been to them. He’s been the best he can be.”
Chambers adds that she refuses to trash talk her ex to the public: “I don’t speak negatively about him in the press. I don’t speak negatively about him to my children. Because nobody wants a daughter with daddy issues, and nobody wants a son with daddy issues.”
