ARMIE Hammer has split from his dental hygienist girlfriend but he has not reconciled with estranged wife Elizabeth Chambers, The Sun can exclusively report.
The scandal-ridden actor, who completed a long stint in rehab after battling reported sex, drug and alcohol issues, was said to be dating Lisa Perejma in May last year.
But sources exclusively told The Sun the pair have parted ways after Armie completed months of treatment at the Florida facility and is “focused on his recovery.”
People.com previously reported the star is working on his relationship with ex Elizabeth, despite reportedly cheating on her with a number of different women.
However, insiders claim they are not romantic and only working on co-parenting their two young children: daughter Harper, seven, and son Ford, five, while the actor is single.
“Armie and Lisa split a little while ago, but he’s doing really well and is in a much better place,” one source told The Sun, while Lisa and Armie have also unfollowed each other on Instagram.
A second insider revealed: “He is definitely not back with Elizabeth, but they are on better terms and he sees his kids regularly.”
The movie star, 35, and businesswoman, 39, announced their split in July 2020 after a decade of marriage, although their divorce proceedings in Los Angeles do appear to have stalled as they remain in the Cayman Islands with their children.
The Sun has reached out to Armie and Elizabeth’s reps and Lisa for comment.
Elizabeth previously said she was “shocked, heartbroken and devastated” over accusations of abuse leveled against her husband from a number of former lovers, including shocking claims he has a cannibalism fetish.
Meanwhile, the LAPD has wrapped up its investigation into Armie after he was accused of rape by alleged victim Effie Angelova, the woman behind the House of Effie Instagram account.
The District Attorney told The Sun they have not yet received the case, but another source revealed “charges are unlikely,” and Armie could soon be off the hook.
Effie previously broke down in tears during a video press conference with attorney Gloria Allred, claiming he “mentally, emotionally and sexually” abused her during their four-year affair.
The 25-year-old, who lives in Europe, claimed she had an on-off relationship with the star from 2016 to 2020 after first connecting on Facebook while he was still with his estranged wife.
Speaking in the press conference, Effie said: “Looking back it is now clear to me he was employing manipulation tactics in order to exert control over me until I started to lose myself.
“He would often test my devotion to him, slyly removing and crossing my boundaries, as he became increasingly more violent. He abused me mentally, emotionally, and sexually.
“Over the years since the assault, on many occasions, the invasive flashbacks were so excruciating they made me feel there was no way out but to take my own life. I just wanted the pain to stop.”
In a statement, the Hollywood star’s attorney branded Effie’s claims “outrageous” and insisted all interactions with her and other partners “have been completely consensual, discussed and agreed upon in advance, and mutually participatory.”
“Effie[‘s]… own correspondence with Mr. Hammer undermines and refutes her outrageous allegations,” Attorney Andrew Brettler said.
“As recently as July 18, 2020, [she] sent graphic texts to Mr. Hammer telling him what she wanted him to do to her.
“Mr. Hammer responded making it clear that he did not want to maintain that type of relationship with her.”
Meanwhile, Armie recently appeared in the new mystery-thriller Death on the Nile trailer, directed by Kenneth Branagh, which was filmed before the accusations came to light – but was barely shown in the preview
While the promo shows plenty of stars including Gal Gadot, Tom Bateman, Russell Brand, Rose Leslie, and others, it appears to have been edited in a way to keep Armie out of view.
