Armie Hammer, aged 37 and with a net worth of approximately $16 million, has been making headlines once again as he reenters the public eye after a series of scandals and allegations of abuse, which he has consistently denied. In a recent interview on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” the actor opened up about his past infidelities and their impact on his marriage to Elizabeth Chambers, whom he married in 2010. Hammer’s candid revelations provide a stark look into the personal struggles that led to the couple’s eventual split.
How Many Affairs Did Armie Hammer Have?
During the interview, Piers Morgan, aged 59, pressed Hammer on the extent of his infidelities. Morgan’s direct questioning aimed to quantify the number of affairs Hammer had during his marriage. When asked how many people he had affairs with since his first infidelity, Hammer responded, “Probably more than the average person would be exposed to.” Despite Morgan’s insistence for a ballpark figure, Hammer admitted he hadn’t kept track, saying, “I hadn’t done the math.”
Morgan’s probing continued with guesses ranging from fifty to five hundred. Hammer clarified, “Sure. Maybe not 500, that’s quite a bit. … I wouldn’t say many hundreds, no. I would say, enough.” This vague admission highlights the actor’s acknowledgment of his numerous affairs, without committing to an exact number.
What Led to Hammer’s Confession to Elizabeth Chambers?
Hammer and Chambers, who share two children aged 9 and 7, announced their separation in July 2020. Hammer revealed that “infidelity was a key factor” in their decision to divorce. He described the moment he confessed to Chambers, stating, “I told her that I was unfaithful. I got to a point where I realized I was becoming someone that I didn’t recognize and didn’t want to be. And then I came clean to my wife at the time and told her what was going on.”
At that point, Hammer’s infidelity involved only one person, the same individual who later accused him of rape. This accusation was later dropped by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office in May 2023 due to “insufficient evidence” to prove the allegations. The accuser expressed disappointment over this decision.
How Did Elizabeth Chambers React?
When asked about Chambers’ reaction to his confession, Hammer described it as “appropriate,” adding, “A lot of anger, a lot of betrayal. A lot of hurt. A lot of pain, which I caused. That’s on me.” Hammer mentioned that they attempted to work on their marriage through couple’s therapy, but the damage had been significant. “We tried working on our marriage for a while after that,” he said, recalling the period as a “dark, painful time.” He admitted that he and Chambers grew “apart” over the course of their marriage.
What Has Elizabeth Chambers Said About the Divorce?
Chambers, aged 41, has also opened up about the aftermath of their divorce. On the reality series “Grand Cayman: Secrets in Paradise,” which aired on Freeform and Hulu in 2024, she described the divorce as “very public” and “riddled with scandal.” She recounted how she learned about new allegations and horrific articles as they were published, making the experience even more challenging.
“The life that we had planned for years basically shattered. That was a really painful period of time,” she said. Chambers also mentioned that having their divorce play out on a public platform was “absolute hell,” adding, “A lot of the trauma that I have experienced in the last two years is behind me. Now I think I’m very much at a place where I’m ready for a fresh start.”
What Does the Future Hold for Armie Hammer?
Hammer expressed gratitude for therapy, which he credits with saving his life. He stated, “I’ve never been happier” since going through therapy, indicating a positive outlook on his future. The actor’s willingness to speak openly about his past mistakes and efforts to seek help suggest a commitment to personal growth and healing.
As Hammer continues to navigate his return to the spotlight, his reflections on his past and his ongoing journey toward self-improvement provide a complex portrait of a man confronting the consequences of his actions. Whether he will fully reclaim his place in Hollywood remains to be seen, but his recent interviews indicate a desire to move forward with honesty and accountability.
