Armie Hammer and his wife Elizabeth Chambers have announced their separation following 10 years of marriage and two children together.
The actor, 33, took to Instagram to share a throwback photo of himself with Elizabeth in happier times, where he wrote they had decided to ‘move on’ from their marriage.
‘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.

‘As we enter into this next chapter, our children and relationship as co-parents and dear friends will remain our priority.
‘We understand this news lends itself to public dialogue, but in the interest of our children and our family, we’re asking for privacy, compassion and love during this time.’
Elizabeth shared the exact same photo and statement onto her own Instagram account, just a few weeks after marking their 10th wedding anniversary with throwback from their big day.
‘TEN years married, twelve together, thirteen years as best friends. Happy Anniversary, my love,’ she wrote on May 25. ‘I’m beyond grateful for you, this decade, our family and the dreamiest Friday night anniversary sunset. And thank you to Hopsey’s friend, 6-year-old, Sophie who was at the beach and captured this moment.’

Recalling how Armie convinced her to tie the knot, Elizabeth told Town & Country in 2013: ‘When we finally got together, Armie really wanted to get married. He sat me down and said, “Look, we don’t have to do this. We could just go our own ways, and then one day you’ll be 40 and divorced and we’ll run into each other, and we’ll laugh and go out to dinner and have this same connection, and we’ll wonder why we wasted all of that time. Or we could just do it now and enjoy the ride.”‘
The couple ultimately wed in 2010, welcomed daughter Harper, now five, and son Ford, now three, and even went on to found their own bakery, Bird Bakery.
In recent weeks, the family of four have been riding out the coronavirus pandemic in the Cayman Islands, where Elizabeth has been sharing a plethora of images from their time in self-isolation.

Elizabeth appears to still be at Grand Cayman with their two children, however it is unclear if Armie has remained.
Lately Armie has been raising eyebrows with his bizarre Instagram antics, which saw him give himself a mohawk and chug a can of beer on a golf course.
‘When the world is ending but you already have come to terms with the fact that this current time is ruled by chaos…’ he captioned the beer chugging video.
Soon after he made the post, fans asked if he was having a ‘breakdown.’
In May, Armie gave himself a mohawk, only to shave it off a short while later.
