Elizabeth Chambers is enjoying time with her family.
The actress, 42, appeared on Today with Jenna & Friends to discuss her new show Toxic and shared that her two kids — daughter Harper and son Ford — whom she shares with ex-husband Armie Hammer, 38, are doing better than ever.
“They’re amazing. We’re amazing. I think we’ve never been stronger as a family,” Chambers shares. “This show touches on domestic violence, it touches on really unhealthy patterns. For me, I just experienced betrayal.”
“But in that process, I really learned so much about patterns and how parenting, really it comes down to parenting,” she continues. “It comes down to humanity and psychology and all of those interesting things.”

Later in the interview, Chambers was asked about co-parenting with Hammer and pushed back on 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,” she explains. “Our family is, again, so strong and better than ever. But for me, divorce in itself is just trauma.”
“Nobody wants to inflict trauma on their children. We bring these little angels into the world,” adds Chambers.
Chambers and Hammer married in 2010 and announced their split in July 2020. Days later, she filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce was finalized in June 2023.
After they parted ways, Hammer was accused by multiple women of abuse, which the Call Me by Your Name star has denied.
For the mom of two, the “greatest compliment” she could ever get is hearing that she’s an incredible mom.
“We have one chance to do it right, so when I made the decision to leave my marriage, I really took that seriously,” explains Chambers. “I spoke to every family separation therapist from the Upper East Side to Denmark to Russia.”
“You know, they don’t know me. They don’t know my family, but I just wanted to gather as much information as possible so I could minimize the trauma,” she continues.
“It’s about the kids. It’s not about us. It’s not about our ego. It’s not about anything else. There’s gonna be no growth if we’re angry or not forgiving.”
