Elizabeth Chambers Is Not Who She Married

In an intimate new interview, the Texas bakery owner says she is rewriting the recipe of her life after leaving Armie Hammer.

This is not how Elizabeth Chambers thought it would work out. In 2020, her decade-long marriage to actor Armie Hammer ended and, well, let’s just say it, six months later he was called out for having cannibalistic fetishes, among a host of other allegations. “Yeah, welcome to my life,” Chambers says now.

On a chilly morning in November, Chambers and I meet at the Beverly Hills Hotel Polo Lounge, where Kim Kardashian and Ivanka Trump dined a few weeks earlier. Even among the glitterati, Chambers stands out in lace-up Frame heels, a cranberry Ganni minidress, and a gold initial-E Celine necklace. “Thanks, lovely!” she tells our waiter, flashing a smile as he sets down a heaping plate of lemon-blueberry ricotta pancakes. Chambers looks ready for the runway in full glam, but there’s something else making her glow aside from the makeup. “I’m in love,” she confides.

Chambers tells me she has exited her Tell Me Lies era, referencing Hulu’s new streamer about a deeply toxic relationship, and is stepping into a new one where “I’m not taking any bullshit from anyone,” she says. “You stand up for what you deserve, for what you know is right.” With the table set, it becomes increasingly clear she is ready to dish about, in her words, “the events.”
