Hollywood outcast Armie Hammer, 37, moves on with Kazakh beauty Marina Gris, 26, who flashes ‘engagement’ ring after his career-ending cannibalism and sex assault scandal
Armie Hammer has moved on from his ex-wife with a glamorous IT consultant from Kazakhstan – just four months after the couple’s divorce was finalized, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
The 37-year-old actor officially split from Elizabeth Chambers last June, nearly three years after she filed for divorce – the culmination of a turbulent few years that saw him face a series of sexual abuse and cannibalism accusations and left him subsequently shunned by Hollywood.
But now DailyMail.com has learned the Call Me By Your Name star has found love again with 26-year-old Marina Gris – who has been seen flaunting a diamond-encrusted band on her left ring finger and has even referred to Hammer as her ‘husband’ to friends.
The brunette beauty, who is based in the Czech capital Prague, first met Hammer in July, jetting off to Rome before spending the weekend together hunkered down in a luxury 5-star hotel, according to insiders.
Armie Hammer has moved on with 26-year-old IT consultant Marina Gris, months after his divorce was finalized. Gris, who is based in Prague, is seen in a recent Instagram snap flaunting a ring and wearing the same LA logo t-shirt the actor was pictured wearing in LA in November 2022
Gris sparked speculation that the two are engaged to tie the knot in October, when she shared a photo flaunting a diamond-encrusted band on her left ring finger, while clasping Hammer’s hand with its distinctive tattoos

Gris has gushed to friends that her ‘heart was going to pop’ before the meeting, saying she was ‘freaking out like a seventh grader’.
The romance appears to have turned serious since then, with Hammer gifting his girlfriend a shiny new ring during a trip to in Prague in October.
Gris took to social media to document the romantic moment, sharing a photo of the simple silver ring embedded with diamonds on her ring finger.
A loved-up post of the two of them together at a bar in Prague, slightly obscuring Hammer’s face, included a photo of the pair holding hands with the ring on full display – captioned: ‘I said ‘What is it, silly question day, American?’, along with a bride emoji.
The image quickly sparked speculation that the pair were engaged, with friends flooding the comments to congratulate her.
This week she posted a suggestion that the two of them are getting closer, calling herself Aphrodite and saying she was ‘mad at Ares cuz he didn’t put the damn toilet seat down…yet again.
‘This mf s testing my patience,’ she added.
Sources say she hinted to friends that the pair are engaged, though it is unclear if any nuptials have taken place or if the ring was just a gift.
They added that she is ‘happier than ever’ and has started referring to the actor as her husband – as well as affectionately dubbing him ‘the American’ on social media.
A source close to Hammer claims he has not popped the question.
Gris has been open about her romantic relationship with the actor on social media, sharing several photos together including this one she took through a cafe’s mirror

The post also drew negative comments from critics who quickly alluded to the allegations against the actor, with some even asking if he ‘eats people’ – prompting Gris to come to her boyfriend’s defense.
While the actor has been keeping a low profile these days, social media photos suggest the two are very happy in love.
Days after the supposed ‘proposal’, Gris shared a selfie posing with the ring while wearing a gray ‘LA’ logo t-shirt that appears to be the same one Hammer was spotted wearing in Los Angeles in November 2022.
She has also been seen wearing a monogram ‘A’ necklace in subsequent snaps shared on social media.
Hammer himself has not shared many updates to his own Instagram account, but has not shied away from leaving public loving comments on his girlfriend’s posts.
An Instagram post from early October revealed Hammer sent Gris a large bouquet of pink and white flowers alongside a card reading, ‘We are doing this. Forever.’
Hammer left a comment on the post saying: ‘I love my little RM.’
Gris had gushed over the romantic gesture in the caption, writing: ‘There are no words to describe how much I love you and how much you mean to me and how happy you make me!
‘I can’t believe you’re real. I’m sure I made you up in my head. You’re the most amazing human I’ve ever met and that has ever existed.’
On Tuesday Marina posted a cryptic comment suggesting that one particular habit of Armie’s was beginning to irritate her
More recently, on X, formerly Twitter, Gris has shared a series of posts suggesting she is gearing up to tie the knot with Hammer, making references to her ‘wedding dress’
She also wished a happy birthday to ‘her favorite human being’ when Hammer turned 37 in August
In comments, Gris has openly referred to Hammer as her ‘husband’
In other social media posts, the actor’s new squeeze also described her beau as the ‘man of her dreams’, and publicly wished her ‘favorite human being’ a happy birthday when Hammer turned 37 in August.
More recently, on X, formerly Twitter, Gris has shared a series of posts suggesting she is gearing up to tie the knot with Hammer.
In a now deleted-post from January 8, she wrote: ‘I lost so much weight over the past couple of months that even my once-tight wedding dress is now too big for me. Well…that’s sad [tear emoji]’.
In a post from September, weeks before she received the ring, Gris wrote: ‘It looks like.. I am..kinda..marrying the man of my dreams […] like literally him. Is this really happening? Is this real? Am I dreaming?’
She followed up days later, adding: ‘Now I need to find out my ring size… oh..my.. is this.. actually…happening…’
Before meeting the actor, she posted online that her ideal man was someone who looked like the actor, just over a year before they met.
It is unclear if Hammer has introduced her to his two children, Harper, 9, and Ford, 6, but the former couple’s divorce settlements states that neither party shall introduce a new romantic partner to their kids until they have been dating that person for at least six months.
Hammer has been trying to rebuild his reputation in the months since the Los Angeles County District Attorney announced he would not be charged over claims of sexual assault after an ex-girlfriend previously accused him of raping her.

He was also hit by a barrage of cannibalism allegations after private messages he sent to a woman were leaked online.
The actor initially dated Canadian Lisa Perejmo in the immediate aftermath of his split from Chambers, and was spotted kissing the blonde in June last year while on a vacation in Italy.
Perejmo, a dental hygienist, first dated Hammer from early 2021 until early 2022, with pair reuniting briefly in 2023.
In May 2021 DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that the pair had been romantically involved for about three months.
Chambers, 41, and Hammer first announced their separation after 10 years of marriage in July 2020 following disturbing allegations that Hammer had violently abused women, which he has denied.
The pair reached an agreement regarding their property as well as any child and spousal support issues between them.
Chambers is now dating wellness specialist Ricardas Kazinec, 26.
Hammer, a scion of the ultra wealthy family behind Occidental Petroleum and Arm & Hammer baking soda products, had been under investigation for sexual assault since February 2021 after his ex-girlfriend, Effie Angelova, 26, accused him of ‘violently’ raping and abusing her in 2017.
But he will not be charged by the LA County District Attorney, and has since made attempts to restart his career.

He denied the accusations of rape through his attorney and said all of his sexual encounters were ‘completely consensual, discussed and agreed upon in advance and mutually participatory’.
Several other women came forward and accused Hammer of being interested in kinky sex and even cannibalism in the wake of Angelova’s claims.
The star, who first made his name playing both the Winklevoss twins in The Social Network, was dropped by his personal publicist and former agency as well as multiple projects following the allegations.
Hammer also stepped down from a role in Jennifer Lopez’s film Shotgun Wedding, but maintained his innocence.
‘I’m not responding to these bulls***t claims but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for four months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic,’ he said in a statement to DailyMail.
The actor subsequently claimed he tried to commit suicide in the Cayman Islands, where he got a job selling timeshares, following the backlash.
He admitted he was emotionally abusive towards his former partners, but blamed his actions on being traumatized by a youth pastor who allegedly sexually abused him when he was 13.
Hammer’s former partners Paige Lorenze and Courtney Vucekovich then also accused him of being physically and emotionally abusive while they were together.
